These two seem sort of contradictory. In the first, you say you feel you should get to choose her hairstyle and then next you don't which is why you asked. I don't get this. But in general (and I am no big defender of therapists by any means) I don't think anyone gets to choose how anyone else (no matter what the relationship to each other) dresses, wears their hair, etc.
If it is as Hankster posits, then I would think exploring this by talking with the therapist rather than acting upon the therapist -as to why you think you get to tell any other adult how to dress or style their hair and why how others do it can upset you - might be a prudent course of action.

I don't see anything wrong with trying to figure out if a poster is teasing or not. It did not seem un-nice to me to ask.
