There will be those who feel differently, but I do not agree with hypnosis being a good stepping stone into BDSM. It is, in my mind, more along the intermediate-to-advanced level. One's introduction into living BDSM should be with eyes and ears wide open, all senses receptive, and feet firmly on the ground, making conscious choices of consent every step of the way until you know and trust yourself well enough to start to say with confidence what you like, what you don't, WHY, and what you are able to offer, and what you are looking for. But that's my personal philosophy.
On hypnosis itself, different people respond differently to it. Your reaction to hypnosis may not be what you expect, it almost certainly would not be like the Vegas magician shows where a bunch of people go on stage and are suddenly squawking and yowling like ducks and dogs. It is unrealistic to expect a stranger to "hypnotise you" and reprogramme your mind and habits completely from there. In most cases, an established relationship of trust is required to even put the subject into a hypnotic state, and this is even more true for "mind control"; the trick of it though is hypnosis only puts you in a more relaxed and receptive frame of mind and cannot be expected to work when used to direct you in ways you would consciously or subconsciously reject.
