I received an email from my hairdresser stating she had not seen me in a while and she was looking at her books and id get first priority!
I havent been since October and find this really awkward. There's reasons I havent gone back. One being money and not affording it but also whenever I went she would soak my back and clothing when she washed my hair (only realised when i left as i was quite damp) , she would often leave my foils on too long on the bottom and not enough on the top. She had external hair suppliers come in through my hair appointment and left the bottom of my hair too long so it was a much different shade to the top.
She works from home and her husband would frequently come in and out. She would tell me personally things and that they had split up which made it awkward for me. They were just some of the reasons and now shes sent me a message saying she hasn't seen me in a while.
Do hairdressers do this?
Should i reply or just ignore?

Ignore it

Ignore and block.

Ignore. You don't have to explain yourself - you have found another hairdresser because you're not happy with this previous one but unless you're actually friends you don't need to engage with this.

Ignore.
Shes touting for business not looking for your friendship.
(i mean that nicely)

Ignore.
You are not her friend. Or owe her anything.

I would assume you won't be her only customer that wasn't happy with her expertise and service and that has decided to go elsewhere. So she has probably sent similar emails to other people.
As pp have said: just ignore her message.

I had a hair dresser like that. She chatted with me the whole time. Personal stuff that I found awkward. In the end I dropped her for a lady who simply professional. I had to block the other on my phone as she was always texting and calling. I liked her but it was just uncomfy

I just find it so awkward that I havent been there 7 months. Surely she knows there's a reason I haven't come back

She’s engaging in fairly standard (but still poor) marketing because she doesn’t have enough custom. Quite likely because your experiences were not atypical. Tell her to take you off her marketing lists, or block her. What on earth is awkward about that?

It’s just a business, it’s not like you are ghosting a family member. People switch hairdressers all the time
