Salon/barber chairs & weight limit

So when I was at my heaviest, I had a really bad experience at a salon. Although the hairdresser didn't say anything to me, I am pretty sure I broke the hydraulic pump. When she was foot pumping me up, there was a pop and the chair went back down - then she just cut my hair in the low position. A lady next to me stared at me in disgust for the entire visit, which I tried to ignore.

Anyway, I'm sure I exceeded the weight limit at well over 330, though I never weighed myself then so I'm guessing. Now I'm in the 270s and I haven't dared venture to a salon since that experience a few years ago, but now I have a Groupon for a really nice place and I'm ready for a big change. My hair is nearly homeschool/sister-wife length, and it's weighing me down, man.

Any of you formerly or presently super or morbidly obese ladies had experience with salon chairs? My butt was a size 28 then, now I'm in a 22. Should I go for it or wait until I hit 250?

I may call the salon and ask, but that's so embarrassing.
