Re: Dont Laugh - Hairdresser phobia!!
I thought it was just me who had this fear! Everything about the hairdressers gets to me! The fact you have to make small talk, the waiting while your hair gets done, how busy a salon can be etc.
I find going to the hairdressers as scary as going to the dentist. Luckily, my mum used to be a hairdresser so I never go there any more and just get my mum to do my hair for me at her house because she takes panic attacks too she understands if I need to step outside for a few mins and all that jazz.
