I suffer from serious anxiety issues in everyday life, but when it comes to cutting my hair, my anxiety levels crank up and crash through the roof, and I was having a near panic attack before going into The Norwood Barber shop.
When I walked in, I met a lovely lady from China (who has run the business for 7 years), but I still didn't know what to think...
... Anxiety ramped up to eleventy-thirteen-eighty-splurge, and my hands were shaking so much.
As soon as I walked in, the welcome and smile were a pleasure to behold, and this sweet lady got about asking me what cut I wanted, but I didn't have a clue.
I explained my hopes, and with using the model pictures (obviously not me) that she had to hand, I explained to her what I wanted, but it wasn't anything that was pictured, so I wasn't left with the best of hopes to begin with, and I have a massive phobia about mirrors and reflections, which is always a bad sign pre-cut.
But, (I wish I knew her name) the proprietor listened to EVERYTHING I asked for, she took note of my detailed request, she took the time to ask me during the 'cut' how I felt, and she even turned the chair away from the mirrors so I could look outside instead of this face.
The result?
It has taken a WHOLE YEAR for me to pluck up the courage to have a haircut after Short Back and Sides (next to the Christian Bookshop) closed, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience and result.
Thank you so much.
