AIBU to be annoyed at this woman brushing her hair in my office

I manage a small nursery and the lockers are in my office due to space constructions.
Moving them is not an option. Bags have to go in because of safeguarding and mobile phones
One woman is obsessed with combing her hair and does it several times a day
I have never liked people combing hair or pitting on makeup on public. I just find it gross.
But is it me or should I ask her tostop or while iI come across as a weirdo?
I nearly asked her yesterday but part of me thought it was petty.
It does bother me though
Would it bother anyone else?

I do brush my hair in my open plan office. If I went into the toilets as they are individual rooms I would block a toilet for no reason surely. Don't most people brush their hair? Hard to say as the people sitting round about are guys.

A mixed response.
You lot are no help :)
The lockets are in my tiny office because its the only place for them
I need a bigger nursery
They can't go in the loo as it doubles as a nappy changing area and its a safeguatding issue to have lockets, bags and coats in there
It was my office first before the lockers were purchased
I don't like seeing people brushing their hair on the bus either
I will have to just look the other way when she does it
Like I do when dh flosses his teeth or cuts his toenails when sat on the sofa the weirdo

I don't think it is at all unreasonable of her to brush her hair by her locker, whatever room it is in. It would be petty of anyone to tackle her about such a non-issue, providing she is doing it during her break time and not when she should be on duty with the children.

Similarly, I would have no issue with people putting make-up on in public either. They are hardly stripping off and changing their underwear before your eyes.

There are limits though. I'd draw the line at people flossing their teeth, clipping their toenails anywhere except in a bathroom. I don't want to see that or find the mess from it.
