Anyone still going to hairdresser?

I have cancelled, the salon is in the gym , so it will probably close soon anyway.

Heaven knows what I will look like, a badger like old hag I expect......who knows what my hair colour is now? Well, we will soon find out.

No, I will be cancelling. Not worth the risk, my hairdressers can be very busy at times.

Had mine done 3 weeks ago, I won't be going now for the duration. So will be back to my old look of scraped back pony tail

Callistemon I think a lot of people panicked and travelled south, taking the virus with them.

Sorry, have to say this; you are all so concerned about what you might pick up in the hairdressers! Did you consider what you might actually pass on to the hair stylist??? Don't go! Simple!

Why not do a Joan Collins? We haven’t seen her own hair for years?hats, scarves, and WIGS. My idea of extreme sport is seeing how long I can go without washing my hair, so not bothered.
It’s all rather unimportant at the moment isn’t it?

DD arrived with flowers before i proofed and I couldn’t read for the tears

Sorry mistype 14 days ahead

Call what we should have e learned from Italy us to go into lockdown more quickly. Given that they appear to be 24 days ahead of us and went into full lockdown on the 9th, that’s the equivalent of our locking down tomorrow - for Italy, it appears much too late, if we’d learned from them we could have locked down at least a week ago. BJ is far too fond of quoting our wonderful liberal democracy and far too much of a coward to make any decision until forced to do so. He’s a child in a job that needs an adult. Cometh the hour, the man hast not come

DD said she was going to facetime me this morning so I spent extra time on my hair, made an effort with my make-up and got dressed rather than slob around in my PJs.

She rang me on the landline.

suziewoozie we could have learned from Italy but now we are becoming Italy
Did they not go into lockdown in the north after the first two deaths? But the cases and deaths still are rising.

Plus if I am not going anywhere and nobody is going to see me - who cares?
Bad attitude, but why stress over it?

My hairdresser of 25+ years is also a friend and her partner is undergoing treatment for cancer so I cancelled my last appointment as I had a cold and didn't want to pass it on. I would not go now even in the unlikely event she would make an appointment for both our sakes. I've bought a colour kit and will attempt to do my roots myself - I usually cut my own fringe anyway. I have it tied up most of the time and as we can't go out or see anyone it doesn't really matter what it looks like.

I shall be cutting DHs hair and he will NOT be cutting mine even though he kindly offered!

I am going into work tommorow, as I said upthread, I am sitting at least 5 feet away from my nearest colleague. I will not go to any take aways to eat and will bring in my own food, I will also not be sharing biscuits or anything like that.
For my own sake I am letting some of the comments go, the bit about me being irresponsible like a drunk driver was spiteful though, and it really upset me. That remark was totally uncalled for and designed to cause me maximum upset.

I think we need to keep as up to date as possible with the advice.

Now the NT is closing all its open spaces and we are being advised not to go out into the country for walks. We should all pay attention and only see absolutely essential others and even then keep our distance.

Hairdressers are not essential anywhere, including your home.

None of us know if we are incubating CV19 or acting as carriers so we have a duty to everyone else not to infect them unknowingly and not to put ourselves at risk in order for the NHS to cope with those who need it.

It really is that simple.

I have bought some root touch up stuff and some hairdressing scissors on ebay and will set to on myself when looking too bad. Would be interested in getting utube links from anyone re; cutting your own hair. Fortunately, when over 70 hair growth is not so active (I think?).

just - can never type that for some odd reason.

Hair only juts occurred to me this morning and I have only juts read this complete thread. I managed to order a hair colour from Boots (they didn't have much left but there are some on Amazon) but heaven knows what it will turn out like - I may be purple for the coming months which I shall juts have to front out. I understand from a Facebook post from a local beauty salon that decisions are being made tomorrow about stopping all salons and hairdressers from operating.

haha, Ellanvannin. I like it, I haven`t washed my hair, its flat and looks thin. I don`t care either. Hairdressers will be shut down soon, I see it being talked about by an mp.

Back to my happy gardening in the sun, kneeling down, sun hat on, back to nature

I don't care how I look. Why should I, I'm on my own anyway and cats only notice when they're getting food in their bowls.
I haven't even brushed my hair yet and it looks like a burst mattress----see if I care

If you don’t like the word ‘criticise’ GG3 substitute the word ‘challenge’.

I’m sorry Raf feels angry and upset but I think all the comments challenging her actions have been perfectly valid.

Well GG3 if we can’t criticise what other posters have written, how are we to disagree with them or to draw attention to the fact that their behaviour may be compromising the well-being of others?

I'm not sure why you feel the need to do that. Why not make a general comment and not a personal one?

There is disagreement, there is advice, there is criticism and there is being downright rude.

I think many people were surprised to be suddenly classed as elderly and vulnerable when up to a week ago we were the people who were running and assisting many voluntary organisations, because those younger and fitter members would not do it.

Of course we are accepting and following the advice given, but give us some credit for attempting initially not to be a burden on others, and not to give in to panic in a crisis.

I did not give false Informstion, my mo bile hairdresser is a friend who has done my hair for 20 years she is younger than me and was in her twenties when she started I admit that I should have said my work is over the telephone but I did not think I needed to go into that much info in a style and beauty thread. If it was a politics or health thread I would have. My mistake I will know next time to give all the information.
I have to say this thread has caused me alot of anger and upset in equal measures, although I will accept my part in it as I did not give all the information.
