Question for hairstylists regarding chairs in beauty salon

Okay, I know how ridiculous this probably sounds, but please bear with me. I have long, straight hair and would really like to get several inches cut off. It hasn't been cut at all for at least 1-1/2 years. Why has it been so long? Because the last time I had it cut the woman who cut it (at one of those walk-in places at the mall) was rude, short and abrupt with me. In retrospect I don't know if it was me she had a problem with or if she just had a nasty disposition in general. The problem is that I was going through some really bad self-esteem issues at that time and it has stuck with me, enough to the point that I've not been back to a salon since. Now I have a little anxiety about going to have my hair cut again, and here is my main worry: I'm 5'5" and about 295 lbs. I've never had a problem fitting into the chair; it's a bit snug but nothing too bad. How hard is it for the stylist when she is trying to raise the chair up with someone of my size in it? Is it extremely difficult for them to do? Any other comments, suggestions, tips to help put my mind at ease would be appreciated. Yes, I know how "nuts" this is and on how many levels, but knowing it isn't helping me get over it. Thanks! Oh, and if anyone is in the north Kansas City/Gladstone area and could recommend someone, that would be great also! ;-)
