This video is sponsored by Extra. Brew. When Jacksonville resident Cheryl Taylor arrived at her regular hairdresser, she thought that it would be like any other haircut she’d ever received. Little did. She know that this would be a trip that she’d never forget., As Cheryl reclined back in her seat to allow her stylist to wash her hair. She suddenly felt very dizzy. She’d never had any problems before, but this time was different.. Her hairdresser immediately sat her back up and called up her client’s husband. Cheryl told her husband that she was coming home to lie down to get some sleep, but her condition continued to deteriorate.. She started feeling nauseous and her daughter who accompanied her to the appointment, insisted that she go to the hospital.. She was still skeptical that it was totally necessary, but when medical staff told her that she was suffering from a stroke, the reality of the situation came crashing down around her.. For my own personal peace of mind, let’s find out what could have possibly happened. That turned a simple visit to the hair salon into a stroke Let’s get into it Sound engineer, Dave Tyler was in desperate need of a haircut, so he strolled into a hair salon and asked if they had a spot for him. Before long. He was in a chair and the hair stylist was asking him what he wanted.. They offered him a hair wash and bent his head back over the wash basin.. He felt a twinge of discomfort, but nothing he couldn’t handle.. It would be over soon anyway., Not two days later, the 45 year old was sitting in a business meeting for his work when he felt a splitting headache rocket across his skull.. Soon the side of his body went numb. His “eyes went ping and started rolling”.. He said that he started feeling nauseous and “took a swig of water without knowing I’d lost the ability to swallow. The water wasn’t going anywhere, and I couldn’t breathe'' Because of this Dave inhaled some vomit into his lungs, eventually giving him pneumonia., But that wasn’t his most Pressing issue. Soon after trying to take a sip of water, he collapsed and was taken to the hospital. There. Medical staff found that he was suffering from a stroke and moved quickly to get him the treatment he needed.. Doctors noted that this was the result of a blood clot that had burst, sending many smaller clots into his brain.. Just thinking about it makes my head feel weird. ... Dave was stabilized in the ER and spent an additional 3 months in a hospital before moving onto recovery for another 5 months to develop the strength to walk with a cane. He has since convalesced, but he’ll never be able to drive or sail with his family. Again, because of double vision, he developed after his stroke., While in the ER, a consultant with London’s National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, asked Dave a surprising question. “Have.

Scottish nurse Adele Burns also Suffered a stroke just one day after getting her haircut at a salon. Californian woman, Elizabeth Smith, aged 48, visited a hair salon in December 2013 and only spent 10 minutes getting her hair shampooed. Just a week later, her entire left side was weak and a week after that she collapsed after a massive stroke.. To this day she still has a clot in her brain and each night she says: “I go to sleep, wondering. Will I wake up tomorrow, ?''? As for Cheryl from our introduction she’s doing alright now., She managed to avoid the majority of the negative side effects of a stroke and she still regularly visits her old hairdresser.. What the heck is going on in hair salons that keep giving people strokes, Don’t panic yet.. Just getting your hair cut, isn’t dangerous aside from the whole y’know razor sharp blades in the hands of a stranger.. According to Dr Sarah Jarvis clinical director of website, Patient.info says that it’s washing your hair at a salon that carries some risk. Jarvis, continues saying that “‘beauty parlour syndrome’ was first described in the early 1990s.”. When “US doctors found several women who had sat with their neck stretched right back over a hair salon sink had strokes.”. You won’t believe how much just asking for you to like our videos and leave a comment below helps us out.. If you really enjoy today’s episode. Hit that subscribe button and click that bell to get updates every time we upload What exactly is a stroke. A stroke is basically what happens when blood flow to your brain is cut off or interrupted, preventing your brain from getting the oxygen and nutrients it needs.. Blood clots are usually the cause, since they can break off elsewhere in your body and ultimately flow to your brain and get stuck.. It is crucial that a person suffering from a stroke gets IMMEDIATE medical attention.. I am dead, flipping serious right, now., A stroke will give you permanent and crippling brain damage.. Generally speaking, a stroke will affect one side of your brain, so any numbness or paralysis on one side of your body is a really bad sign.. If you have trouble speaking or seeing out of one or both of your eyes, that could also be a giant fiery red flag that you need to get to the hospital.. If you’re trying to identify a stroke in another person, you can ask them to smile, raise their arms or repeat a simple phrase.. If you hear that their speech is slurring, one side of the person’s face or body consistently droops or they can’t move, it CALL PARAMEDICS. Immediately. Having a stroke is a legitimately terrifying concept, so it makes sense that people are concerned about how to prevent them., Especially from something as mundane as getting a haircut.. What actually is giving people strokes? The prevailing theory for each of our cases is that one of the main arteries to their brains were damaged.. Dr Jarvis says that “If the lining is torn blood, clots can form.” And, of course, blood clots can lead to strokes as we just learned.. But what about the salon could damage an artery? Dr Jarvis, in an interview with The Sun, notes that, since the early 1990s doctors had found ``, several women who had sat with their neck stretched right back over a hair salon sink had strokes.”, Though she adds that'' It’s very difficult to establish if this sort of Neck stretching over a salon sink actually causes a stroke.. For instance, other injuries to the neck, like a whiplash from a car accident or bungee jumping could damage the artery.”. If you ask me, the worst part of getting your hair washed at a salon might be the fact that a stranger has to touch your head- Eugh…. But while leaning back over a washbasin isn’t the most comfortable position in the world, how could it possibly damage an artery, Dr Richard Bernstein, the medical director of the Comprehensive Stroke Center at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, told journalist, Katie Heaney that “Beauty Parlor Syndrome”, while eye Grabbing isn’t the scientific name. In reality, it’s a “vertebral artery dissection from hyperextension of the neck ”.. Basically, you tore up an artery in your neck by leaning back too hard.. The problem Dr Bernstein says with the label “beauty parlor syndrome”, is that an “artery dissection” can be caused by getting your hair washed, but also things as simple as getting out of bed in the morning stretching or even sneezing.. He continues saying. “It is so rare that it’s a waste of time to worry about it.”, Well, it’s, probably not a waste of time to worry about it, but what else can cause this kind of injury? According to Cedars Sinai hospital, an arterial dissection can be caused by swimming skating, dancing, sports yoga, rollercoasters, trampolines, childbirth, s*x, sneezing or seeing a chiropractor.. The risk may be so low that we might as well not think about it, but my anxiety, won’t, let me. So let’s figure out how to avoid dissecting our arteries and giving ourselves a stroke.. Dr Nima Aghaebrahim, an interventional neurologist at Baptist Health, says that unfortunately, there isn’t much we can do to prevent these injuries. However, “The only thing that we can do is to avoid any extreme neck movements that could be sudden”.. Dr Robert Coni medical director of the stroke program at HCA, Healthcare’s Grand Strand Medical Center, adds that, while avoiding lengthy periods of hyperextension, you can also request neck support like a towel to rest. Your neck on during a hair wash at the salon., Dr Coni, continues saying “Really. The best advice is to request a shampoo with your head bent forward, rather than backward”. It’s, also useful, to mention that not all salon washbasins are made equal.. There are dozens of differing brands and types of varying complexity and comfort.. Ideally, all you’d need is one that can adjust height and angle in order to make sure your neck is aligned safely.. If none is available again, you can ask to put a towel down.. Most importantly, don’t feel like you need to push through discomfort. If something hurts or feels strange, just ask them to stop.. I still want to know what I should look out for y’know. Just in case., Dr Bernstein says that neck pain can be a symptom of arterial. Dissection, however, it is unlikely to be the only symptom nor the most prominent one.. He continues saying that “Neck pain can be caused by a great number of things. That’S almost never a cause for concern”, but the more universally recognized symptoms of a stroke should be dealt with immediately. Getting pain in your neck. While getting your hair shampooed at a salon, doesn’t mean that you’re going to have a stroke. Facial slackness, paralysis on one side of your body and loss of vision are giant flapping red flags that you could be suffering from a stroke and those symptoms should be monitored Closely by medical professionals in a clinical setting.. In the end, Dr Bernstein says that we’re no more at risk of damaging the arteries in our necks getting up in the morning than we are at the salon, but I’m still probably gon na ask for a towel. Next. Time. The reality of being alive is that even the most innocuous things can end us in a snap.. Luckily, humans have been living and dying for a long time and we’ve seen a lot of ways that we can bite the dust.. The important thing is that we recognise the dangers in our everyday lives and take reasonable steps to protect ourselves.. The key to this story isn’t that you shouldn’t go to the hairdresser anymore.. In reality, only 2 % of all strokes happen due to dissection of an artery and even less are from the hair salon. They’re much more common in whiplash injuries. You’D get from a car accident. What’s important is that you talk about your needs with your hairdresser.. If you’re really anxious about it politely asking to wash your hair facing forward and a gracious tip to show your appreciation will be all you: need.

Comments
Brew: Start re/building your credit safely with the Extra Debit Card! No interest rates, credit checks, or hidden fees. https://extra.app/brew
MsJoyMaeda: This is so strange to me. The workers at the salons I went to growing up _always_ put a towel under my neck when washing my hair. No need to ask, they did it every time. I'm surprised that it's not a common practice.
Diana Kosianka: I usually wash my hair at home before a haircut to save me time and money, but now you've given me even more reasons to avoid a hair wash at the stylist's
Diamond Blade Gacha: "The risk might as well be so low that we don't think about it. But my anxiety won't let me." felt that
Bunny Cottage: This happened to an old woman at beauty school. While she was getting her hair washed. I remember vividly. Happened about seven years ago
Blight Vondrake: "While, leaning back over a wash basin isn't the most comfortable position in the world-" I guess my salon has really comfy sinks then, because I've never felt an overextension of the neck, nor any discomfort. I'm usually lied mostly back with my neck resting in the neck divot. Honestly, before you said that, I was just thinking about how much of a comfortable, relaxing experience it is, imho.
McCool117: I think it's careless for that doctor to say it's nothing to worry about. As someone who's worked in warehouses and other labour intensive workplaces, I've never seen someone being crushed by a heavy load, skewered by a forklift, or had their eye taken out by flying debris. However, we wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and follow strict operating procedures, in order to protect myself and others in the unlikely case of such an event occurring. So if people are aware that certain injuries are being caused by a specific action, and know how to correct it, I see that as gross negligent behaviour.
Amma Okami: Am I the only one who has had pleasant experiences getting my hair washed at salons? It's like a complementary scalp massage to me
BleakDestiny: My daughter does hair. I doubt she has ever heard of this. I'll send her your link. I am going to look into Extra too, hope it's as good as it sounds. Thanks Brew!
XrunswithscissorX: As a Stylist of 16 years I do have to say that the chances of this are positively minuscule to the point that this is alarmist. The only reason this would happen would be if someone had a pre existing arterial occlusion or some kind of thrombosis of one of the arteries in the neck. Many states including NY where I reside “technically require” a clients hair to be washed in salon for sanitation reason. (Although many salons do not enforce this rule understandably)
Boop Snoot: I always hated getting my hair washed at a salon. It hurt my neck sooo bad and was never comfortable. Just wash your hair before this to avoid it. Unless you're getting your hair colored or any chemical process. Putting a towel underneath to support your neck definitely helps but it's still not fun.
レイ·ライト -Raylight: *"The risk may be so low that we might as well, but my anxiety won't let me."* The most relatable thing xD Well now I'm convinced not to getting hairwash in salon, even if Brew told us not to be scared
smilla edqvist: I love how u keep talking about ur anxiety it makes me feel less alone feeling anxious while watching videos like this haha
Tetsuo Shima: Thank you so much for the portraits with noses this episode, I hope you continue doing it, the missing noses always weirded me out. That's fine on the chibi cartoon characters but freaky on real people.
Heaven ly Starboi: Me: *Watches the video like normal.* Brew: 0:04 4:26 5:17 8:13 8:21 9:29 9:45 Yes, we drew noses Me: *Wait, that's illegal!* ️️
The Egg in the Pantry: Thank you for giving the people noses ! But also, more seriously, thank you for using such an accessible font. It was large and legible, I was able to read it without my glasses.
Autumn Wuffy: This is a great episode well done @Brew ! I think it’s also wonderful that you emphasized over and over again that this is a very rare injury to get and you can get it doing anything else as well! We shouldn’t discourage people from doing one thing if the risk is very very small.
Roy Hughes: So in all these admittedly rare cases, there were no underlying conditions? Hardening arteries, high blood pressure? Congenital issues with the persons blood vessels? Seems like there had to be something other than just I stretched my neck a little... not doubting Brews research, it just seems like the medical community would have provided more details than "just don't do that thing"
NekoMaster Youtube: I've never had my hair washed at a Hair cutters, I just have a shower or wash my hair before hand and let them spritz water on my hair as they need to. Though now that I have a decent sized beard trimmer I just use that for a fairly quick buzz job on my head (and maybe use a razer for the rest though I havent done that since I had an accident in the shower that was gruesom and shouldn't be talked about in detail)
ᄂDEADSOONᄀ: I have hypermobility in my spine so this is extremely weird to me. I can push my head completely back onto my shoulders with no pain and I've had my hair washed plenty of times at a hair salon without any towel under my neck. At worst it's always been uncomfortable. Guess my loose joints aren't such a bad thing.
『Trickster』: *Brew:* _talking about how a person got paralyzed while on a haircut session_ *Chill:* _proceeds to give Brew a haircut_ *The Viewers:*
DavixDevelop: Heh, I'm 23 and this is the first time hearing about this. All my life, whenever I went to whatever hair salon, I always felt comfortable when I was getting my hair washed and they always put a towel around your neck here. I did a quick search on how the wash chair looks elsewhere, ex. in USA, and I can see how they could be uncomfortable. Here wash chairs almost look like sofa chairs.
Sam Schmit: If I opened a barber, then I'd ask and warn visitors about neurological health issues, no matter how personal it felt.
Sheba Metaluna: My mom has always used a neck cushion while washing customers hair, it helps make it a lot more comfy. Most salons should have those tbh (less towels to wash and a better seal to keep water off the client) , I've seen them in a lot of salon supply shops.
PrincessCelestia19: I always hated getting hair washed at the salon. It's very uncomfortable. There's got to be a better way.
Jen RS: Hgnn. Why, Brew. You learned about this, and had to go sharing it with the rest of us. Now it's always going to be in the back of my mind when I go to a hair dresser.
Sylveon :D: Thanks brew!your the one teaching us what schools should always teach us but they don’t!im sure you’ve helped atsleast a few people and actually making some of us feel smart..:3
CeresTV: Wow, thank you, you actually started doing noses again. I actually wasn't expecting it, but I appreciate it, it looks a lot nicer
Rae Rae Badfingers: Something similar happened to my grandma when I was a teenager when she had her hair washed at a salon. I didn't realize it is more common than I imagined.
Andy Saldivar: That's crazy, I recently had my hair washed like this for the first time and it was very uncomfortable. I was using my full range of neck muscles lol
Rannie Manangan: That is why my aunt, which is a hairdresser would also do the haircut first then ask the client to wash their hair after the haircut when she does home services... But if they need to wash the hair of the client, they do it when the client bow their head forward instead of leaning their head back, just like when we wash our face...
Wolfy: I've always hated getting my hair washed at salons. A few years ago was getting my hair washed and I was literally vibrating and tearing up from the pain. My parents and everyone there just kept joking about how I was so sensitive.
Jackie Crone: I always had my neck carefully handled when I had my hair cut and washed as a kid. I have a shunt in my head down my neck, and it can be seen under the skin. So I was very gently handled throughout my childhood when my head and neck were handled, always by a specific stylist.
Tired Gardener: Goes to show how frail the Human Body can be at times. Also, thank you for giving people noses, now your videos are free of nightmare fuel.
Pumpkin Butter: Always avoid washing your hair in a salon that only has basic basin+seat without neck support to wash hair. The comfortable chair-wash basin combo always has neck support, and there won't be problems because you're reclining in a very relaxing way that there won't be pain at all even if you're sitting for one hour or more.
Michael Amado: I've only ever had my hair washed a few times before a haircut, but each time I was given a towel to support my neck. This should be commonplace and common sense.
CheesecakeLasagna: I love getting my hair washed at salons though. It's the only time my hair is thoroughly clean because I just couldn't be patient enough to do it myself everytime. I think one should just be aware of their own neck stretch limit. If the angle is uncomfortable already, then do push it. I never have troubles with it. I'd just cover my eyes so I don't need to have to stretch my neck as much. Also, there's cushion on the portable sink so it can accomodate individual shapes more.
heyou: Brew, I don't know how to articulate this. I love your videos, this one included. I want to talk about a weakness of mine; when I listen to medical stuff, I kind of shut down rational and dramatically empathize such that listening to experiences that I've never even had, they feel real to me. It is a mixture of imagining it happening to me, and a heavy dose of existential dread that instead of a fellow human, that could be me or someone I know. It sounds commonplace and benign, but I simply can not put words to how immensely I feel this. Jut thought I would open up, and kind of put feelers out to see if there are others like me in this regard. Suffice it to say, I hated shows like House. Funny thing is, if medical trauma happens to someone, I have no hesitation to helping them, even if it is gory, I kind of just do my best at what needs to be done, it is only listening to it that triggers my reaction.
Becca A: I always hated having my hair washed at salons because it just hurts having your neck against a hard plastic tub. I’ve been showering right before my haircuts for years to avoid it. That way the hair is already clean and ready to go.
Rei the Zombae: Brew I love you and your well written and researched topics... From one Coffee lover (addict) to another keep up the wonderful work~
Eric Fabian: This sucks. Getting your hair washed in a salon when you get your hair cut after a long day of work is one of the best things
Lequicha Rishbish: Dear Brew You have given me chiclephobia (fear of gum), tepidophobia (fear of tea), Xenoglossophovia (fear of language and accent), and now tonsurephobia ( the fear of haircuts). Anything you would like to say?
ChristiRich: I have always insisted on having a towel pad during the hair wash. The way that beauticians push and pull your head and neck in that basin HURTS.
Rapidashisaunicorn: My grandmother had a TIA a few years ago and the FAST acronym was the reason I was able to identify that it might be something more serious than it seemed and took her to the hospital
Storm Cherry: In muscle therapy, when doing head stretches, especially with the head bent back, we make sure they keep their eyes open - that way we can see if they roll back from improper blood flow ~
Nick D: I had a blood clot in my brain in 2020, it was august 13’th i had a seizure at work, took me to the hospital and ran tests, had a blood clot that had hemorrhaged, it was a intraparachymal hemorrhage. Still healing, blood clots are serious business guys, always go get checked out if you have any symptoms you can’t explain.
bdbgh: Pretty wild seeing a nose being drawn, keep doing it, it looks good
mishamoo !: Brew: *Talks about people having stroked after washing their hair* Me: *Went to a hair salon and got my hair shampooed 2 days ago*
Sen's Sword: BTW thank you for adding noses to people. The illustrations look great now. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Great work!
Stephen Bouthot: I've never had that kind of issue with hair salons. My head and neck usually fit into the hair washing sink comfortably and they don't force me to bend my neck backwards.
TheBiohaxor: "I know this is a complete waste of my time, but yeah, anxiety" is probably something I've said way too much in my life.
Stevi Roy: I never understood why people go to salons just to wash their hair.
MINGO-mingo: Good to know this. I have a ruptured disc in my neck so my hair dresser just sprays water from a bottle on it to dampen it. You don't have to do the sink.
Edward Hisse: I feel so validated hearing that Brew hates having his head being touched by strangers
Jess Frey: My dad purposely does a thing where he bends his neck back over hard chair backs and stuff because it stops his migraines, he found out in his 20s that was the best way to stop the pain. I've also done this a few times because I had a headache, and I bent my neck over a chair backwards to relieve it. I always knew that you're not supposed to press your neck against things too much, but it's like the headaches force us to bend our necks weird to get rid of them, probably because we're cutting off the blood to our brain and the blood pressure is making the pain more noticable so cutting it off relieves it even though you shouldn't do it. But I've never had my hair cut by anyone, I always cut it at home with two mirrors angled so I can see the back of my head lol the only time I ever had my hair washed in a sink was when we were at a hotel and my dad held me up so my mom could wash my hair in the sink.
sbatou87: Funnily enough, when I was having my hair washed, I started feeling dizzy, so I asked to be sat up at a different angle. Headache went away.
Innocently_Insidious: I always hated getting my hair washed at the salon. I'd get dizzy because I would feel I was upside down the whole time. And hair dressers always ask if the water is uncomfortable rather your neck position being uncomfortable
cactusq: In every single hair salon I have ever been in (and that’s around 5 salons) in all of them my neck would cramp up and I would be in the most painful uncomfortable position. I don’t know why, but the sinks are horrible.
Mr. liminalspaces: I always had a gut feeling that those hair salon sinks had something wrong with them, and in fact I was right!
Lizzy Williams: I love your videos! I would love it if you could do an episode on Fibromyalgia- I suffer from it and I can provide a primary source if you would like to!
Sophie Robinson: And that's the most relaxing part! I don't remember my neck being put in such an awkward position, either.
Voicelet: In my country salons use a specialized bed for shampooing which rest your neck in a natural position. I think many countries in east asia use them. Going to a salon around here is an experience, albeit rather expensive.
Macy Granger: I usually ask for a dry cut. I straighten my hair most of the time so it’s just easier to know what I’ll look like that way. I also always hated getting my hair washed at the salon
Seraphina: Honestly this just shows why we should never overlook pain especially any unexplained pain. While yes our bodies do sometimes protest issues we really cannot stop pain is our own body protesting "You are injuring me please stop". Generally this is best headed as you know our mind runs on the brain our body provides so injuring our own body generally wont end well for any of us.
Ghost Rat: Oh god those sinks. They have always hurt my head and neck so bad, and almost made me pass out a couple of times. That pain is one reasons I do my own hair.
Sarah Supernova: Thannyou for this!! My mother gets a migraine the day after her salon trip, every single time, without fail. Im sending this to her rite now!
Kim Kohl: Very good information. As to how to better protect yourself and others from dangerous situations. NEVER allow your neck to be hyperextend. This was reinforced in massage therapy school. So, this is one more basic activity to be aware of when giving or receiving a massage.
P: I got my hair washed over a sink once. It was so uncomfortable that I have refused it ever since.
Lisa Hoshowsky: When you suddenly feel relieved you haven’t been to a hair dresser in three years I’m never not going to be able to think about this now
Velopod: Now I have even more of a reason to avoid wash basins; they've always been so uncomfortable to me.
xVoltex: Love ur vids man keep it up
Ryan Davis: Yet another reason I'm very glad I've been cutting my own hair for the last eight years.
Anonymous Anonymous: *A person walks into a salon and sits down in a chair. Another greets him.* “Hey Kyle! What’ll it be for today?” “Just the regular for today, Justin.” “Alright, lemme jus-“ *Snaps Kyle’s neck* “Not again....”
Zack Markham: I knew it was a good idea to always keep my neck and head even with my spine when getting my hair washed at the barber, never letting it droop lower than that! I thought it was normal... apparently it's not?
JackAlope!: Seeing how I get my hair cut about once every five to ten years, I think I'm good.
The Poogly: It all depends on how the hair wash stations are set up, I didn't think about this but the place I use has cushions on the rest to hold up your head straight
TiaKatt: The portraits look so good in this one! The chibi and medium-detail drawings are perfect without the noses, but thanks for the noses on the detailed portraits. Please keep doing that.
Brett Zolstick: Man, it seems like everything gets you paralyzed these days.
Amy Carter: Hmmm...the sinks always have concaved sides for this exact reason. At least, in my experience.
It’s.just. Marvin: Love the attention to detail in your animations. (:
Venus: I've had extreme pain from this before. I assumed its because I am very short and my neck height wasn't compatible with the washing setup
Darkfireice: "The more you know, the more there is fear."
Alexandra Caceres: When u realize that this clotting stuff can be caused by literally everything
Michelle I: I think this would be fixed by having an adjustable chair as I’m quite short I usually need to sit on a padding and I can adjust to the perfect height where it’s comfortable.. but if you’re any taller i can imagine it being uncomfortable
dfpguitar: I wonder why this never happens in wrestling and Muay Thai. I've been ragdolled many a time from a headlock or face crank.
Peter Gao: The place i regularly went to back home had a padded section to the sink that propped my head and neck as i reclined. Didn't cause a clot so far as far as I know
Viorelush: Watch out! At 6:25 there's a mistake. The nerves that leave each hemisphere actually do a "zigzag" in your neck(or an "X") .This means that if you feel numbness in your right hand, something's wrong in your left hemisphere
Keisha Gunawan: The hair salon i visit has chairs that are shaped like beds and luckily, they always prepare towels before washing their customer's hair, quite a relaxing experience except for the bathroom that's underground, dark and with tall heavy doors. Also, nice Zenitsu haircut Brew!
Gene Z: I haven't been to a barbershop for over a decade since cutting my own hair. It's weird cause I Still remember the place I went to they tuck a towel around your collar and you lean back. The sink was adjusted in such a way that it was so comfortable I could almost take a nap. Seems like adjusting the chair more and asking if the person is comfortable would help.
Christian Baune: Ocular migraine can also be the cause for vision troubles and it can be very trippy as the brain try to make sense. I got one that lasted about roughly an hour at work. I started to see some phantom colors over letters, then as if I was looking in a VR headset, then I was able to see word shape, but unable to understand more than a word at a time (unable to read sentences) and at the apex, letters started to move! Then it washed away. I called a friend to help me during the experience and he quickly recognized it was an ocular migraine and that it can last hours... Also, you can only wait it goes over...

Micaela McRae: I love a hair wash at the salon if I want to treat myself, and I don't ever remember not having a towel down. Interesting vid.
Pearl White: Those sinks have always been so painful. Glad to know to avoid them.
Jackalboi444: The last time I had my hair cut and shampoos there I had to tell them to stop because my neck was hurting really bad and giving me a headache. I don’t know if it’s related or not but I had a tumor at the time in my abdomen. 3 days later I was vomiting blood and couldn’t eat got 3 weeks. I was force fed water and after 3 weeks I was taken to the ER. I had surgery within a week. I was aloud to go home because I lived with a registered nurse. Again, I don’t know if it’s related or not. If it is it’s probably just the stress of pain that causes the sudden worsening of my tumor. It’s probably not related though
MaskedWolfDragoness: It's uncomfortable, even with a towel, but it's worth it to feel gentle hands running through my hair and over my scalp.
Midi Music Forever: Doctor: "Don't worry about it" Everyone: "OK"
Living History: Suddenly glad ive never been to a hair stylist and always had my mom cut my hair...
ego-lay_atman-bay: Brew: if you can't see out of one, or both eyes, you should seek medical help Me who can't see out of my right eye, and has bad vision: **calls doctor**
Maestro Mike: There’s a lot of hair salons in my are. The chair goes down and there’s a tube. So our heads are straight and our necks aren’t tilted.
locklear308: You know honestly it will be a great idea to come up with some kind of preventative surgery to like extend these arteries or something so that way they would have extra length to not be pulled
