I have an appointment with my hairdresser!!

Me too, 6th July. Mine is a mobile hairdresser who comes to my home. Will adhere as much as possible to guidlines. I've missed 2 appt during lockdown, was lucky enough to have it cut week before. I keep my hair short as its very thick and wavy and now I cant do anything with it,look like I've been dragged backwards through a hedge! I can't contain my joy!

Hmm ... I usually keep my hair very short so cannot imagine my hairdresser being able to cut it without cutting through the strings of any mask I might be wearing. It will just have to stay shaggy for many more weeks/months, I fear. Maybe it will eventually get long enough for me to put it up!

I have a completely new style. My hair has always been short, with a side fringe. It's never been straight but not entirely curly. Now it is curly on top with soft waves back and sides and actually looks quite good, though different. Roots aren't an issue for me, as I'm a silver gran.

My hairdresser is a lovely lady and very good. She has booked me in for July but not sure I will be going. Things seem to be a bit uncertain in the south west and I'm high risk and can only get there by public transport. I normally have short hair with what I call my Mars bar highlights,a mix of caramels and blonde. It does look nice. My last colour was February and cut first week of March. ?. Its looking interesting! Its keeping a rough shape but I havent seen true colour for years,less grey than I thought. I'm lucky in that not going anywhere at moment,although there are video calls etc. I'm looking on it as an interesting experiment, if I like it I may never colour again!

Did you say £85!?

I am green with envy! My normally cropped white hair has a life of it's own under lock down! Each morning I am never sure who will greet me in the morning..usually when I first get up I resemble Einstein, when I have washed and tried to tame the hair I could pass for Bernie Eccleston or Donald Trump, I then go out in the wind and I am Boris! I so want to get to the hairdressers!

I have often said to my hairdresser that the only way that I could get my hair blow dried as well as she does it, would be if I could take my head off my shoulders and stick it on a pole!
Beginning to wish that that was actually possible right now , so I could send it along as soon as they open !!!

I've had texts from mine offering appointments, but no dates yet, just a list. The latest was for beauty treatments, but I'm not risking it yet. I've been colouring it myself and been tempted to take the scissors to it, but resisted. It's had a rest from all the heat treatments and it's actually in better condition, although a bit woolly mammoth in style.

4.00 pm 6 July, brilliant. ?

Yes my hairdresser works from home so there will only be the two of us, but as I said I will watch the R rate carefully before I make the final decision.

Me too.

I had mine cut 2 weeks ago. I felt so much better after 14 weeks of it getting more and more out of control.
My hairdresser works from home so there are not a lot of people there at the same time even in normal times. Other than cleaning everything between clients and having people there for a little time as possible, there were no other precautions.

I have an appointment booked for 16 July. I am hoping it will feel safe to go, though if I have doubts I won’t. I am pretty sure DH will not want me to go, and to be honest, I have not been anywhere apart from solitary walks, in order to protect him. He is not on the official shielding list but has health conditions which make him vulnerable.
I am longing to get my hair cut as it is normally quite short and has lost its shape. As for the colour, I was thinking of embracing the grey, but it is white underneath, not silver, and reminds me so much of my mum who died aged 92. I am twenty years younger so no way do I want to look or feel that old yet. I think I should get my hairdresser to help me make the transition somehow, but it looks awful at the moment.

My last cut was 23 rd Jan. It was short and layered but I think I will continue to grow it out into a bob. Already grey!

Can’t wait; my last cut was due the day they closed so haven’t had a trim since 17 February. I look like Dougal in a wind tunnel!

I understand the longing to go to a hairdresser and if you don’t touch anything there ( and take hand sanitiser) wear a mask, and the hairdresser wears a mask you should be fine.
I am leaving it for a while longer though, as the salon I go to is really tiny ( but she is the best hairdresser I have ever come across).She will also be really busy for the first month I imagine.
My grey doesn’t show ( highlighted) and it’s it’s now a long layered bob, so looks ok.

Nope, there’s no way I will be setting foot in any hairdressing salons, until I feel it is safe, I don’t care what they are wearing to help protect, my hair is now in a bob style I quite like it, just cutting the fringe, but I will say even if I hated my hair I still wouldn’t venture in any salons or shops, I’m high risk

Actually I’ve just realised that the R rate is increasing???.

I shall be watching that very carefully and cancel if it doesn’t improve.

ginny I too am so pleased I gave up colouring. Think of the money we’ve saved too.

I have always had short hair,but it’s growing into a bob and I really like it quite happy to wait another couple of months before going to hairdresser.

Although DH has tidied it up a bit.

I am soooo jealous! My hairdresser rang the other day to let me know I was on a waiting list - but she's not making appointments until they have all the government rules in place. Can't wait - my fringe is half-way down my nose and the rest is a shaggy uneven mess where layers have grown out - it used to be a pixie cut!
To all those struggling to embrace the grey - I kept putting it off and dyed my hair every six weeks for years. I stopped over the summer holidays in my last year of full-time teaching and had a short pixie cut just before I went back to work full-time in the September. So now I am proud and happy to be a silver vixen!

I shall keep snipping it myself for a while yet. So glad I stopped having my hair coloured a couple of years ago. No duel stripes for me.

Sharing all this info about hairdresser appointments is just rank showing off ... ?

Not sure if things will ever be totally safe Luckygirl. Hoping mine gets in touch soon, then I will be off like a long dog!!!

I agree with Luckygirl. My long grey bob can simply grow longer!
