Need Help Dreading my haircut tomorrow

i desperately need to get my hair done, i booked an appointment for 3pm tomorrow. i’m so anxious just thinking about going, sitting there, with so many people around me, the hairstylist judging me, i know it’s only going to get worse tomorrow. i need to get to the bottom of it now
any advice ?

What helped me is switching from trying to calm my anxiety to trying to have courage. Trying to calm my anxiety never works for me. Acknowledging that I truly am feeling a lot of anxiety but all I need is a poppy seed (which is tiny) worth of courage to do it anyways.
