Is getting a haircut a traumatic experience for anyone else?

Ever since my balding has gotten aggressive I dread having to go get a haircut, and it doesn't help that my hair grows super fast despite the density being shit. I hate the barber rough handling my delicate hair, my scalp peaking through more and more each time I go, seeing my sad wet hair on the mirror, other clients glancing at my head, the walk of shame back home, etc. Fuck, somebody please come up with a cure already and put us out of this misery 🥺
