Hi everyone,
I created a throw-away for this question as I am really embarrassed about this and don't want it linked to my main account, sorry!
I am a woman in my early thirties with very long, thick hair. I have been in an extreme depressive episode for the past few months and my personal upkeep has been the very last thing on my mind. My hair has inevitably ended up as a giant matted mess on top of my head, and the thought of doing anything with it makes me feel physically ill. It is beginning to become painful and I'm too embarrassed to leave the house, so I know I need to do something about it now.
I was wondering (and hope this sub is an okay place to ask!) if anyone knows of any hairdressers in Bristol who are particularly sensitive to those with mental health issues who have let their hair get completely out of hand. I've had my hair of all lengths before, so I won't be upset if I'm told it's unsavable and just needs to all be cut off, but my preference woud be someone who has experience with unmatting hair so I coud ideally not cut it all off.
Some of my preferences woud be: Someone who travels to my home in BS5 to do the haircut (Googling this doesn't seem to bring up any mental-health related things, but travelling hairdressers), someone who doesn't need to take part in small-talk, someone who just has a kind energy and won't feel like I'm being judged for how bad it is.
Again, I hope this is the right place for this, and sorry if it's not!
