I've read or heard for some years that salon sinks are bad for the neck and back. Those sinks really are so uncomfortable. Just recently, the salon I go to replaced their sink chairs with some that provide even less support for the back & put much pressure on my neck. The chairs are too low for the sink leaving a gap between my back and the chair backrest.
I thought that I had defeated the headaches that I was getting for a while in the middle of the night or very early morning. Since October, I've been waking up with headaches very frequently. Right after my hair appointment, I began waking up daily with headaches. Just before the next appointment, I get them less frequently. I'm beginning to wonder if those darned uncomfortable sinks could be contributing to this. My hair gets washed each time before my haircut or if I get it colored. I think I will have to wash it myself before my appointment. And, I will have to color my own hair.
I have complained & there are cushions that provide some support, which may work for those who haven't had head surgery. Post-surgery we are more susceptible to pain or injury & we need to be more protective of our necks.
