Who Cuts Your Hair?

Post Reply New Topic

I finally realized I feel better when I get a professional haircut on a regular basis. It's good to feel like I look nice, plus the experience is like I imagine a spa. I went to the budget barber in my town a couple of times, but the cut was simplistic and didn't grow out well. Finally switched to a more expensive place, run by a queer woman who really "gets" what I'm going for. She takes good care of me. Last time between haircuts was 6 months, but I plan to start going quarterly... the same weeks as my psych appointments!

I cut my own hair. I wear it straight down, about chin length. I just cut it straight across with scissors when it's wet. Not saying it's great, but it's not bad. When it's damp after a shower I turn the tips inward with my fingers so the dry turned inward slightly, and it mostly camouflages any unevenness. My hair is wavy so that too camouflages unevenness.

I haven't been to a hair salon in over 30 years. I think it would make me very uncomfortable to have someone messing with my hair, though I think it would be doable. I also feel awkward the entire time, not knowing what facial expression to make, even if I don't talk.

When I was a kid (about 9) and was having my hair washed at a hair salon, one of the workers actually said, "Look at the face she's making!" And I didn't even know what face I was making.

I havent had a haircut since i had a meltdown and broke a window with my head too close to druggies, woman took a torch to my hair and I havent fixed it yet. Oh not only too close, i was going for more windows after they told me to stop..

you cant make this s**t up, it was a window at Emerge / CCLin the same building as an old folks home, the one that attacked said it was her grampas place and didnt belive it was mine too
