re: Anyone in here cut your own hair?

For about 5 years I have. Got tired of paying someone $20 for 15min of work.

Gotten pretty good at cutting but I don't do anything complicated obviously. Only use a buzzer and no scissors.

I divide my head into 3 levels. Bottom gets 1/2" to 5/8" depending on my mood. Mid level gets 5/8 to 3/4. top gets anywhere from 7/8" to 1 3/8".

The most difficult part is edging/shaving the neck. This is done with just the bare buzzer. I tried using multiple mirrors but that made me feel like I was on mushrooms. Now I hold close to the head of the buzzer and feel my way around. Edging ears can be tricky too but at least you can see them.

I started clipper cutting mine in college in the late 90s and haven't stopped since. #6 (3/4") on top #3 (3/8") on the sides. Blend with a 1/2" between the two. I use a Remington clipper that has a small vacuum attached to it. Makes cleanup easier.

I used to cut mine. #3 on top and #2 on bottom. I'd fade the #2 as I got close to the top. Getting the neck and ears was always difficult. Got tired of the mess everywhere so I pay $20 every two months for someone to do the same thing and wash it after.

I've been cutting my own hair for almost 11 years now. I just use the no guard and cut it all off
