Doing HAIR On a dead person. email this discussion to a friend?

Could U DO IT?? I was a hairdresser for 47 years & when my customer's would bring up me doing their hair when they died i would tell them i was not going to do it. If they felt like they were going to croak they better run by & let me get their hair done. It was a bog joke to us all when they brought it up. THEN IT HAPPENED, one of my customers was killed in a car wreck & her daughter called me & ask me to do her hair. How could i say no to her. One of the girls i worked with said she would go w/me. It was a very hard thing for me to do for more reasons than one. Over the years i did a bunch of them. I felt like if i could do their hair for years when they were aloive i owed them to do it that last time, Could u do it??

I am not sure I could....that would be a bit freaky....but then again like you said its for one last time.....and probably ment alot to the families!

Thanks for your response. I never thought it was freaky but could be very disturbing. I felt i owed it to them.

You must have gathered the bravado out of love for your customers. You are such a great person. happy I don't think I could even enter a morgue. I could not even look at a dead person in a coffin anymore. Too much imagination afterward.

I thought about doing make-up on dead people as a side job on the weekends, I am an Esthetician. I don't know if I could do it on someone I personally knew. My friends mom was a hairdresser and her clients were old ladies and she did their hair for them. I am afraid of dead body, I don't know I think it might be scary for me to do that.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11407)   ranked 32 out of 1,040 in death  2 months ago

Good morning, if u are afraid of a dead person don't see how u could do that job. U know a dead person can not hurt u. Hope u have a great day & thanks for your response.

Happy Halloween...dear JO! (Will PM you later!) How timely your discussion is..as it is quite "spooktacular!".....and boy will you and I have a lot of cups of tea over this one! I can relate, somewhat! Being a paramedic on this Island for 13 years, several occasions I was in the presence of deceased! Our mandate was that we could NOT pronounce death (only a Dr. or the RCMP) and those days we did not have a full time DR. nor Police. So, CPR must be performed UNTIL death pronounced, even tho' rigor may have set in! Very eery! Also waiting for the Coroner to arrive by boat from another Island, one could be waiting for 5+ hours, and that was a real lesson in learning, as to the transitions the body goes thru!
MAY ALL YOUR GHOSTS BE FRIENDLY...TONITE! luv & hugs!

Happy Halloween to u my friend, now u must know by now i don't drink hot tea but i will make it for u. I have been surprised by how many people said they were afraid of the dead. It wasn't my favorite thing to do but was a neccesary to do. That was a bad experience for u to i'm sure. We have had some times in our life but we are both survivors, thank heavens. U be careful today.love u.

I would feel more comfortable doing the hair of a dead person than a live person. This way they wont be disappointed if it turns out in a way they don't like.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11407)   ranked 32 out of 1,040 in death  2 months ago

Thanks for your response. I understand what u are saying but most of the ones i have done i had fixed their hair for years so i knew how to fix it to please everyone. Happy sunday to u.

no i could not do this but i guess more you do it it might get easier i think it would be better with a stranger than someone you have knowed for years


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11407)   ranked 32 out of 1,040 in death  2 months ago
