I am so glad you had fun with your hair! My philosophy on that is we have hair because it's the only part of our body that is 100% fun. We can do whatever we want to it; it will grow back.
I so well understand the feeling of sensitivity to noise. Your description of the sound of the wrought-iron tables made me cringe as I read it.
I hope you did take a down time. Since you posted this yesterday, the Halloween celebration is today...all the transit changes sound rather overwhelming. For that reason I hope you are able to take Uber or Lyft if you've decided to go.
Keep us posted so we know how you're doing.
