Leaving my hairdresser to go back to an old salon. So awkward. Help.

I've been going to a hairdresser for about five years.
She's self-employed and works by herself in a small unit.
She's good friends with one of my friends.
I have an appointment booked with my current hairdresser for later this month.

I want to change hairdressers.
Specifically, I want to go back to a salon I used to go to.

It's awkward all round - leaving my current lady and then going back to where I used to go.

I've got the ball rolling. I'm booked for a consultation at the new salon tomorrow morning.

What do I say to my current hairdresser when I cancel my September appointment?
And what do I say if/when the new salon recognises me?

Bloody hell. I know this is epic first world problems and I'm overthinking it. But you know...

Thanks for the last few years but I’ve decided to mix it up a bit and try somewhere new. I will miss our chats though! Take care xx
