Does anyone know how I can find someone to come to my house

And cut my hair?

I’ve had long, straight hair for 50 years. With chemo, I imagine it will all fall out. I don’t much care, but I don’t want to deal with the mess.

I’m feeling weak and don’t want to have to go out in search of a beautician.

Thanks

1. Call some of your local salons.

Lots of beauticians do home visits. Also maybe if you have a senior center they might know someone.
That's how I found someone to come out for my Mom. They did the whole treatment, haircut, and manicure.
Good luck.

2. Call local senior center & American Cancer Society

I've read somewhere that the Cancer Society has a large volunteer group to help with rides to med appointments, etc. Perhaps hair care is a possibility too.

9. My dad was in a nursing home for rehab after a heart attack and they actually had a hair salon

But they also had traveling beauticians who would come and give the elders clips and curls -- for like $5.00!

I hope it is helpful info.

10. Thanks

I don't need a discount, just someone who'll come to me.

13. Well, a nursing home in your area might well be able to give you names and phone numbers of those professionals willing

to travel to client's homes.

Best of luck to you!

7. I would try a hairdressing school.

Surely there is a worthy student that would be happy to get the practice and made a few extra bucks. It is probably verboten for them to take money before they get their certificate, but I trust that framing it as travel expenses would work.

11. If your hair is very long, please consider donating it.

Google can provide many groups that will take it.

12. Sure

Once, a hairdresser gave it to American Conservatory Theatre to make beards with.

15. When MrsK went throuh chemo,

The haircut was free, the salon, donated her hair to a wig maker.
What goes around, comes around.
