Hairdressers phobia!

[blue]

I have to go to the hair dressers and i have seriously bad phobia!
I also have to take my daughter who is starting to look like rapunzel right now!
I used to be able to tolerate going, i found somewere i didnt have to make an appointment and i went early so i didnt have to wait and usually dragged hubby with me.
Last time i went one of the young hairdressers that usually does my hair was getting hers done next to me, and she started making little bitchy comments when the hairdresser complemented me she would say like oh we all say thet yo her 8O
Then she turned her chair to face me and just sat there staring right at me .........I was so pannicked i went this colour !!!

Now i carnt go any were near the place ..........made an appointment somewere else.............terrified though

going to the hair dresser is one of the two things that made me realize my SA.

Going to the hairdressers isn't my favorite activity either. I always feel so tense and self-conscious that my face turns red like a tomato, and then I have people looking at me weird and asking me if I feel okay, which makes it even worse. But since I color my hair, I have to have it done at least every three months, when it gets so ugly I can't stand it anymore. I just try to stick my nose in a magazine, so I don't have to chat with anyone, and just hope it is over soon. My son would probably be happy if I didn't take him to have his hair cut :wink: . He wants to grow his hair, but I think it looks awful when it's all shaggy and messy looking. He's getting to the age, though, where I can't make him go if he doesn't want his hair short.

I hate the hairdressers. I always feel kind of trapped there. The hairdresser always tries to talk to me and I can never continue the conversation.

Actually you sound very, very normal. Although some people enjoy going, loads of people hate going to the hairdresser's too, whether they're socially phobic or not (a friend of mine, for instance, who definitely isn't).

I think the other hairdresser was probably just watching the way your hair was being done and was saying things jokingly, not being bitchy.

when the hairdresser complemented me she would say like oh we all say thet yo her 8O

maybe she meant that all the hairdressers tell you that (out of honesty) but you don't believe in it yourself like you should. sometimes people say things and at first i don't get it, or i take it as an insult, when in fact they are trying to give me a compliment.

I have this thing for hairdressers. One day I will ask one out.
