Does anyone know how I can find someone to come to my house [View all]

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
