Autism Hair Appointments in Abingdon

Those with autism may encounter challenges during hair salon visits. Whether that is persuading them to visit the salon that is met with outright refusal or a dislike for someone touching their hair. The typical hair salon experience can be overwhelming, leaving those affected scared or unwilling.

At Wisteria Avenue, we understand the difficulties and regularly support people with autism who may find salon experiences challenging. Our approach to hair appointments prioritises building trust, ensuring everyone feels comfortable in our salon environment.

If you are new to the salon, have any questions or would like to discuss an appointment before booking we are happy to help. If there are challenges or issues you are facing, there are others who have found solace in our approach.

Is this you?

Wisteria Avenue regularly supports those navigating different challenges. We do this by offering support, a relaxing salon environment and in many cases, a separate area which allows us to offer a much improved and tailored experience where clients can feel much more at ease. We value the unique needs of each client ensuring the salon experience is stress-free and enjoyable.

How we can help you

If you feel that you need additional support, please do not hesitate to ask in advance of any booking. If it’s possible and we have the availability to accommodate any requests, we will endeavour to do so. In any case, we can help you to feel more comfortable to ensure the experience and time spent with us is maximised.

If you feel the day-to-day salon environment may be a hurdle too far, we dedicate specific time slots throughout the week to autism-friendly appointments.

Your Questions,
Answered.

Appointments can be made in a number of ways.

Either through our website, or by telephone, WhatsApp or social media.

We are a small salon and during busy periods we are not always able to control all sensory elements to the salon. To ensure we can best accommodate your appointment, reach out to us via telephone or WhatsApp for the best upcoming availability on 01235 534705.

Not at all!

We recognise that each person is an individual with their own specific needs. We welcome every client as an individual and are happy to work with you.

All we ask is that if there is anything we can help with to be as welcoming as possible is to let us know in advance of any booking.

It tends to vary from client to client. We would encourage you to make us aware the first time to ensure that not only your first visit is relaxing and enjoyable as possible. Additionally, this ensures that any following visits are as consistent and managed by Wisteria Avenue and your Stylist long-term.

Our salon has taken measures to support our clients gaining valuable insight from existing clients and the Autistic Society to ensure we can be as welcoming as possible.

We would also welcome feedback and most importantly if there is anything specific that you require for an upcoming appointment or you are considering a booking, let us know and we can adapt our service.

In most cases, yes.

Before booking let us know if there is something you are mindful of, concerned by or wish to ask to support your appointment.
