Is it just me, or does anybody else hate having their hair done?

I am getting mine done this afternoon (normally have my highlights done every 9 weeks or so) and I cant stand sitting there for 2 hours!

x

I hate it too! Its soooo boring and hate having to make small talk!
I cant understand women that love to go :S

i think if i had a hairdresser who dont talk much then i think i would think it boring... but i dont so i enjoy having it done x

I don't mind it, it's a chance for me to switch off and unwind, I do hate the small talk though, I'd much prefer them just to get on with cutting it and not talk to me, I'm such a miserable cow

I love it but then my hairdresser is more like a mate and it's nice to have a gossip with her!!

Xx

I neeeeed a hair cut! Any takers?! Chop off about 6 inch worth??!
Can't be doing with hairdressers either, esp. as I'll have to explain why I don't want a wash&dry (painful sink position!) then have to be awkward and ask for it thinning out at the ends as it's really thick. Last one I went to "thinned" it from ear level... if I wanted layers I'd have said

I hate it too but mainly because I'm a tight arse and don't like paying for it xx

i hate it and my cousin is a hairdresser so she comes to my house. i just cant stand sittin in the same position for 2 hours!! im such a fidget!

Im trying to make myself look forward to having a couple of hours peace, but its not working. My appt is at 1pm so I might go and get some lunch first (I finish work in 5 mins) and then go.

Susan... I totally agree! My hairdresser is a fortune! (well, I think it is). I pay £70 for a full head of highlights and £55 for a half head.

I like getting my hair done but hate it when they really scrub at you scalp and pull a comb through as im very head sore x

omg laura where you go? my hairdresser comes to me and she lovely i pay for wash cut blow and roots done for £30 xx

I don't particularly like it either. I'm really bad at small talk so hate that. I tend to go to the trainees cause i'm proper tight (£50 for full head of highlights and £12 for cut rather than £115 for both) and they tend to be younger girls so i find it easier to talk to them. My mum and her friend go to the hairdressers every other week and are like best friends with the women in salon, i don't think i could ever be like that.

I go to Trends at Kingsley. Their website was out of date when I booked my first appt so the prices were, and still are, wrong. But they did a great job that I keep going back x

i love it!!
i'm bad at small talk too but my hairdressers knows that so we only speak at the beginning of the appointment and then we don't talk after that
i love people playing with my hair, i find it almost orgasmic!!

I hate it but only because i nearly always come out in a boo cause i don't like it!

I hate it I don't even know why I just hate going, I havent had my hair cut for about 2 years, which is bad considering my mil is a hairdresser and always offers

I love having mine done, in fact I've got an appointment on Saturday xx

I dont mind it mine normally takes hour and half but they always give me aload of magazines to read so it normally flys by x
I love when they wash my hair lol im wierd xx

I just got back from my appointment and OMG... to have a half head of foil highlights and a trim/blowdry cost me..... £65!!!!!!!!

I nearly had the baby there and then!

They have put their prices up!

God knows how I will justify that when I am on maternity leave!

Blimey... Go with a trainee, i've never had a problem, if anything they are a lot more careful.x

I will be all your personal hair dresser lol I done it for 5 years I won't do small talk promis lol

I hate it - they always cut too much off even when I stated exactly where I want it, I can't be arsed talking about nothing for an hour, I hate it if I have to wait, I hate that the water dribbles on my forehead, I hate the black things they make you wear and the harsh lighting that makes me look dead, and I hate the way they dry it so it is flat against my head, I hate them straightening it cos they never take care round your ears, I hate the way they catch the top of your ear with the *$%£ comb

Sorry but I have been to very expensive, cheap, walk in, appointments, man woman, ...and they are all guilty of at least one of these sins which really bugs me!

I do enjoy having mine done, but they always keep me waiting which is frustrating!

Does everyone tip? And how much? I do usually, £2-3, but my hairdresser is seriously loaded so not really sure why i bother! LOL!

x x x

i've never tipped, my appointments usually cost £90 so i feel i've spent enough money!
and i've never had the problems you mentioned Lisa, my hairdresser is fab! just a shame i'm not allowed to keep it up anymore luckily i'm growing my hair so i don't need it cut but i'll just have to dye it myself from now on!

i only like getting mine shampooed the rest of the time I'm so bored, It takes me about 3 hours for foils and a cut. Last time I had to take Ava because I had no babysitter and it was a total nightmare.
