Silly First World Problem ( bothering me)

I never went back to my hairdresser after covid. To be fair, my hair is so thin now that I don't think a hairdresser could do much with it. I wash it and let it air dry.

SpinDriftCoastal -maybe I'm missing something but I don't understand why you didn't like the guy who told you he'd been hairdresser for 20 years (so ought to be good)...

Maybe there was something else about him?

I can't abide hairdressers either.

Not after I was treated like filth by some very young, empty-headed, brain-dead bimbo that was so busy very loudly gossipping to her workmates about her latest squeeze and the night club, etc., that she wasn't concentrating on doing my hair and cut my left ear with the scissors and jabbed the pointy part of the scissors in the top of my head.

That was over 30 years ago, and I've never been to any other since! I know most are not like that numpty, but I was well put off!

My hair is down to my bum, unstyled, so I just trim it myself once every couple of months!

You like your hairdresser, she does a good job and it’s only two minutes from where you live?
Lucky you.

It is about 2 minutes from where I live.

Money is tight so how silly to spend it being miserable! Overthinking.

Funnily enough we have a beauty place nearby, it's clean but a bit down at heel. There is a realy nice, young person who works there. always feel better afterwards.

Change salon. You might need to try out a few before you find one that suits you. Just don't make another appointment at your original one.

Not at all! I am like you. If the vibe is not right, I don't go again. I went to a beauty salon where they had a dirty old mop and bucket, the old metal bucket with cotton mop in the corner of the waiting area. It looked quite grubby. Never went again. The one I go to now is spotless and the girls are really helpful. I once went to a hairdresser who had moved to my area and said how beautiful his cut was. He was very talented. His reply: Well, it should be, I have been styling for 20 years. Didn't go there again! It is a very superficial kind of vibe but the client must leave feeling good and not bad. Hard in reality, I know.

This is why I have long hair ...........

Hate hairdressers.
