Yes, I think I'll have it done.
Gesture & etiquette
Sit at eye level, conversational tone. Have a calendar visible to confirm the date if they agree. If they have favorite photos of past styles, look at them together.
訪問理美容 (visiting barber/hair service) is a standard option for low-mobility seniors in Japan. Schedule monthly or as the senior prefers. The honorific potential 切られます (will get cut, respectful) honors their agency in the decision. Have a photo of past styles on hand if they have a preference. Allow time after the cut for them to relax.
