Wahl trimmers for 40 bucks. Shave it ever two weeks. Great investment.

The only person that cuts my hair is me and it's to my waist.

I have been cutting my own hair for years because the stylists wouldn't listen to me if they couldn't do a proper fade. I'd even tell them the exact guard sizes to use on the sides and top and it's like they gave a set way of doing things and refuse to vary from that.

I got pretty good at fading the back of mine but started going bald so I just shave it completely now. It's free and only takes a few minutes.

Just give me some whal clippers with the #3 and #5 guards and a shaving mirror.

Then... I guess a broom, a dustpan, and a trash can.

Getting my hair cut feels good, and my barber is a cool dude to chat with so no

One of my sons does a great job cutting his own hair. He uses a mirror and a clipper with various tips and also uses each hand, something I could never do.

When playing college baseball he made some serious coin cutting teammates’ and friends’a hair as a side deal. The Cubans and Puerto Rican’s were paying to get trimmed about every 4-5 day’s.

I use a baseball cap bill to edge the back. My cut is a 4,3,2 fade. Any longer and my cowlic makes it look like a fauxhawk on top.

I don't think I've paid for more than 10 haircuts since I got out of high school, and that was in 1970. I've been cutting my own hair for decades.

My preferred style is pretty much either a flattop or buzz cut. Hair doesn't matter to me all that much and the only difference between a good haircut and a bad one is about 2 weeks.

I cut my hair. Not bc I dislike waiting but bc I hate having to tell the barbers 7 or 8 times to cut it shorter. Pros want to play around for 20 minutes while they trim a quarter inch. If I'm paying for a cut, I want it cut, not trimmed.

The only thing I hate about the salon experience is the inferiority complex it inspires. :(

I use similar equipment as mor miles . Oil it and it will last.

I was one of those people who ironed their own uniform.
I'm.not paying 20 for something I can do with my eyes closed.
