Hello, I have a question for the ladies - how soon after your THR were you able to go to the hair salon? I'm concerned about sitting in the chairs where you lie back to have your hair washed.

Thank you,

Betty

    hi betty, 

    for me around 6 weeks post-op ... but only because there was no one to take me . 

    I asked for a big cushion to put on chair - 

    To be honest, I was a wee bit disappointed ... my hair needed to be colored (cut and washed) and sitting in a chair for a long time was uncomfortable - I had to go to the bathroom quite often (low toilet .. be aware) - make sure you get up and move around - but it was all worth it !!!  they could not have been sweeter and more accommodating - and ... I was not there first hip person ....

    big warm hug

    renee

      Hi Renee,

      Oh those low toilets! I forgot about that sad    I suppose it can't be much worse than it is now though. I can see too, how uncomfortable it would be sitting so long. Like you say though, it is all worth it to feel "human" again!

      Renee, my daughter and her husband were in Amsterdam last week and I told her about you and wished she could have met you on my behalf smile

      This was her second time there and she loves it!

      Take care, Betty

    Betty, I didn't get to go. I was so excited I could drive, I just went to work with me crew. Well not really work, but watch them work. I guarantee you though, once I get the crew going Monday morning. I am headed there for THE WORKS! My hair looks like one of my customers out control gardens before we fix it up! Good Luck!
