Maybe they think you have swine flu ?

Try washing your hair first.

Why not cut your hair in Issan...???????........I do

I don't seem to have that "problem"...

No, but TV seems to encourage that type of behavior with some posters.

The problem is obviously with you - maybe your breath stinks. Try flossing your teeth

Was it on a Wednesday. If so, its not about being farang. Most Thai consider it bad luck to cut hair on a Wednesday.

That is news to me, Eek. There is a hair dresser right next door to my friend who runs a laundry business. We are always talking back and forth. I'll have to ask her that question. Obviously, I don't visit barbers or hair dressers.

My understanding is that even though some hairdressers will open on a Wednesday, they will do all the other things but cut hair. Such as wash/blowdry, colour, etc.
