At our old hairdressers I paid about 20 quid for me+2Cubs to get trimmed. Then she stopped work, and for about a year we just got scruffier. Fortunately we managed to find a new hairdressers about 18 months ago which is close to home and which both boys like - the eldest (13) is Aspie and not brilliant at either haircuts (personal space and sensory stuff causes anxiety) or change. He found the first visit a bit stressful but coped and has been absolutely fine ever since - I think he'd even cope with going on his own these days. I usually book appointments for the boys at the same time but mine separately when the kids are at their dad's to avoid them having to hand around long enough to get fed up. Having a hairdresser opens late on a Thursday, which fits this brillaintly, and who copes really well with my boys is well worth the 30odd quid it now costs for the three of us!
