@skinnylatte In hindsight, it was a lot of sensory issues combined for me. I hated the feel of the cold wet on my skin. The snip-snip of the scissors drilled right into my brain. Plus, I was terrified if losing an ear (thank you, Struwelpeter!).
I have a mole on my head, and the stylist always tore painfully over it with a comb. He also wore too much of a cologne that assaulted my nostrils. And afterwards with less hair, everything felt colder.
I couldn't begin to explain that.
