If you have a hairdressers, repeated clients are ideal. But, the chairs are not always occupied, then a steady stream of new customers can reduce downtime. In a day of autism in your lounge, people on the autism spectrum may get a more pleasurable experience of haircut. You can gain some new customers for the future, and you can enjoy the feeling of doing something good for others.
More often, people with autism have sensory processing Disorder (SPD), which is the difficulty when entering into a sensory stimulus. Sensory processing disorder affects how the brain processes sensory information, perfume, visual and sensory input audio.
People with SPD are capable of processing sensory information because the brain decides what sensory information to ignore and which to focus. For example, when you cut your hair, talking with customers and hear them easily not really realize the background noise.
To understand what a person with SPD experiences, imagine you're in a coffee shop, chatting with a friend and all senses is ablaze with the bombing of stimuli. The stimuli do not get filtered, so they increase your stress level that builds almost a fight-or-flight response.
You would notice things like this and they disrupt around in your brain at the same time:
What you would smell:
CoffeeThe aroma scent of coffee flavorsThe fresh air coming inThe scent of perfume or Cologne as a client spends his perfume tableThe hair products his friend
What you hear:
The door opening and closingCustomers of orderingClattering of dishesYour's grindingTraffic noise talkingOther talkingMusicBeans friend of people of outsideCustomers shoes at the door of bathroom floorThe, opening and closing
What would you feel:
The handshake or hug your friendWhat the Chair feels likeHow your slide shoes in the temperature of the tiled texture cupThe floorThe your coffee table
What you see:
Personal moving rapidly to serve customersCustomers move aroundThe colorsEvery sign up to read many times in the movement of feeling outsideThe chalkThe colorful people and cars of durum or calm friend lightingYour move your hands as she is talking
The sensory input up into a coffee shop presents the same problem in a hairdressers. For people on the autism spectrum, it can be very stressful to go for a haircut.
A salon usually have a large amount of stimuli happening constantly with lighting, multiple conversations, phone ringing, blow dryers whining and much more. This environment can make a person with autism to flee. Often, they will avoid getting a hair cut for as long as possible.
For customers who have autism here is what you do:
Reduce the noise level, turn off the radio, avoiding hair dryers, not wearing loud jewelry and banning high heels or other noisy shoes off that day. remove a buzzer or Bell.
Keep the odorous stimuli to a minimum. Use hair products without smell or lightly scented, including shampoo. Do not use perfume or scented products that day.Reduce Visual stimuli by turning some lights or dimming them. If possible, hang solid tissue between stations to reduce Visual stimuli.Encourage people to bring their blankets weighted or fidget toy to make the experience more calm feeling.Since some people may not want to touch a hair wash. Ask the customer if they would like their hair shampooed. Otherwise, use a spray bottle.
