In the grand scheme of things, probably not a huge deal, but I’m mortified.

It’s been a rough month at work. I’m (39M) stressed through the roof, not able to relax, etc. I’m getting ready to travel for work, wanting to look my best I decide to clean up the haircut.

I go to my normal Sports Clips, nothing fancy. Always get a cut and wash. Had a new gal cut my hair, she did a good job. She’s very personal, easy to talk to, easy to feel relaxed.

When the cut is done, she asks if I want a wash which I say I would and she takes me to the back to wash my hair. All normal so far.

I really enjoy the experience of a hot towel and a scalp massage and after a long day/week/month, it really hit the spot for a relaxing atmosphere. I didn’t mean for it to happen but halfway through when I really felt relaxed I let out an involuntary moan/sigh.

Her hands paused for a moment, I apologized and she went on with the wash silently. I swear I felt silent laughter as she finished up (my face was covered in a hot towel, so I couldn’t look, not that I could’ve looked her in the eye anyways).

She handed me a towel, I dried my hair, she combed it and I paid all in silence. I tipped her $10 for my awkward self and left.

Was it sexual? No. Do I think she thought it was? Yes. Should I avoid this place for the next 6 months? Maybe not but I will.

TL;DR I involuntarily moaned when the hairstylist washed my hair after a cut and now I won’t go back for awhile.
