Haircuts

Post Reply New Topic

I didn't like hairdressers until I was about 14 or 15, now I see only one . But I have to look good. .

I cut my hair today. Actually, I've been snipping here and there for a week a now. Tell me how it looks:

Yes, I need to shave, but I left my razors at my parents house.

Here's a tip for people who don't like the small talk:
-Try drowning out the small talk/gossip by thinking about your obsessions. That's what I always do when I go and get my haircut. I don't talk about them out loud to the hairdresser, I just drift off into space and focus on them. That should help relieve the tension of it all.

I do'nt like people cutting my hair either especialy around the ears. I've gotten my ears nicked by old and young women alike . They're all like sit still so I don't nick you. I'm thinking, like hello I have tourette syndrome here . I only allow people to do my hair if they have an electric clipper, so that I won't get jabbed or nicked by scissors. I think that I may become a hair stylist someday though.

It looks great. You are quite attractive, even without shaving. I've been doing the same thing myself, and I think that I look great too.

I feel very nervous when I get a haircut. This is even true when I am getting a haircut by this person who is a semi-family friend. I am incredibly self-conscious. I feel awkward with the mirror in front of me. I don't like being able to see the other person walking around and my reactions. I feel like a sort of creepy loner among lively people.

Really? I never knew this was true. My dad always talked during his haircuts. Then again he always had them, or usually at our semi-family friend (who was a woman, although I don't know if that makes a difference).

You know the thing I like (which is a weird way of putting it) about going to the dentist in contrast to the hair salon is that you don't see yourself, the person does not expect any conversation (obviously), and you are sort of lying down as opposed to having to constantly adjust. That doesn't mean I like the dentist. It's just easier for me to deal with.

I like getting haircuts; I just think that the worst part is telling them how to cut it. I have a short haircut that I only got last Saturday called the Joan of Arc cut, which I really like. Although I like my haircut, it's annoying getting my hair ready in the morning only to have it flattened down with my helmet that I have to put on because I ride to school in the mornings. I like it much better than my long hair; however, sometimes I miss it because some people may think I'm a boy now because of the way that I dress. It's not too boyish per se, just a more comfortable style. Anyways, I like getting haircuts because I like being able to feel more free again (I'm also a runner by the way, so that would make sense not to like long hair nearly as much lol).

Wow! I had no idea so many aspies felt this way about haircuts! Vladi hates them! but he has soo much hair that the longest I let him go without one is 1 month. I have told him that if he finds a long style of haircute he likes then I will allow him to let it grow...

I haven't cut my hair in 5 or 6 years. It's down to my elbows. I wind it around my arm, make a figure 8 out of it, and clamp that to my head with a pretty thingy. And then I spend the saved money on something that I do want.

Most hair cutter find that it's very difficult to cut my hair.

I hate hairdressers more than almost anything in the world. The awful small talk, and they never cut it how you actually ask for it to be cut - they do a sort of halfway between that and how they think it ought to be cut.

It looks absolutely fine, and you are cute.

I'm thinking of getting a book on cutting your own hair. Mine's quite difficult because it's very fine and quite curly, and I have a double crown.

I keep my hair long and cut it myself. I cut off all the split ends and then I tidy it up. I do this constantly, actually. It's a bit of an obsession!

Ah ! ! Another advantage you ASpie gals have over us ASpie males ! !!

I went for a haircut yesterday, and realized I hate it because they so rarely listen to how long I want my hair ! ! AAuugghhh ! ! They cut it way too short, and then I have to wait for it to grow back in ....

I hate having my hair cut as my hair is very sensitive. When i was a child i would be dragged kicking and screaming and had to have my mum there all the time as it was sensory overload hell.

Im Ok now but leave it as long a time as possible considering my Job and get it cut really short as its quicker and means longer time between cuts.

I still dont like it and have to give "mental permission" to get overloaded which is a big thing for me as only people who I trust I allow to touch my hair so it means false trust in my head.

Oh and i hate the small talk and just try and sit there silent.

I hate getting hair cuts too but I think that's because I hate changes in my routine more than anything. Once I get to the barber's I accept it. I have really thick hair so my hair grows back faster than most people's.
