Does anyone else absolutely hate a head massage at the hair dressers?

[PersonalBest]

I get so cross repressing the urge to tell them to just fucking wash my hair that my blood pressure goes through the roof. God I hate it.

Hate it.

God you lot are miserable!

I like having my hair washed,including the head massage. But as an adult, if I didn't, I'd ask them not to do it. YABU.

Hate it. Luckily my hairdresser knows me so well she knows not to do it, and the juniors do too.

I don’t know where the trend for head massages in hairdressers first came from. I’m in the “this is so cringe, I want the ground to swallow me up” camp. And all those on here advising us to just tell them we don’t want one. Have you even met a British person? We’ll walk out the hairdresser with a bright pink mullet and say “thanks, lovely” rather than say what we really think.

Love it . If my husband could learn how my hairdresser does it he would be treated to more frequent sex 😂

Another hater here, I ask them just to wash and not do it.

I hate it and just ask not to do it- it literally makes my skin crawl- I am ND tough

I love it. So relaxing.

Haha, now I'll start over thinking this too

Definitely this. And tip.

I don’t like it and I once also had one where the hairdresser then did a load of feathery stroking over my face which made me more tense than anything else that’s ever happened to me.

I know. I would feel churlish though. Maybe I'll try. They never ask, just do it. So I would have to raise the issue. Awkward!

I always wondered why they ask - I thought everyone must want a head massage! Now I know. Can't imagine they'd care if you say no - less work for them.

Oh yuck. I can’t stand anyone touching my face, particularly the feathery stroking . I think my worst was once having a massage they put their fingers in my ears - I was almost sick on the spot.

I hate it too. I just say no head massage thanks. Mind you, I've been with the same salon for a few years now and they know my preference, so I don't have to bother any longer.

I love it

I've never had a head massage and, judging by the comments, it doesn't sound great. But I'd happily pay for someone to brush my hair for hours. I love that.

I told one to pack it in as it was fucking painful..exact words!!

Yup hate it. Hate any kind of massage to be honest. Stop fucking touching me

Oh what book is feathery stroking from again?? Is it a Marian Keyes??

You are overthinking this. It is really not churlish to ask politely for a simple hairwash with no massage.

Do you struggle to communicate with people in general?

I never thought it possible to cringe so badly for a person I don't no about an event I never witnessed but yet here we are

Well, I obvious struggled to communicate that this was lighthearted!

Oh my God. The horror.
