Been doing my own for the past 30 years. Used to be every Saturday. Now every other Saturday. On my third set of Walmart clippers. $15 IIRC? Less than 10 minutes start to finish including sweeping the floor. Time and money well spent.

Stopped going to a barber in 1985 when Max my barber died of cancer.tried to have a haircut w/ barber that bought his shop, but this guy was slow,and strange. SOB,asked me if he could stop mid haircut to eat his lunch! That did it, have not been back to a barber shop since. Only difference between a good hair cut and a bad one, is two weeks anyhow Stopped going to a barber in 1985 when Max my barber died of cancer.tried to have a haircut w/ barber that bought his shop, but this guy was slow,and strange.

guilty. $17 bux for a haircut is BS.. I bought a hair shears and chop off my own.. I've already saved about $75 over the last year... When I was in Jr. High a haircut was $.50.... Adults were $.75..

A $10 haircut every 4-6 weeks is such a burden.

My haircuts cost a little more, but the gal is good, cute and has a nice rack.

During the scamdemic barber shops were closed so I bought a clipper kit online and learned. The back is the tricky spot but I hang a mirror behind me and it actually looks pretty good. Takes me about 15 - 20 minutes. The clipper kit has more than paid for itself and I don't have to go anywhere... Sorry I didn't start sooner.
I sure could go for some $2.50/gal gas and a mean tweet!

Did when I was in college (early 90’s), still in Army reserves so was similar to a high and tight. Started again during Covid, but I wear it a little longer now, still cut it every 2 weeks. I use a 1 on sides and back, 2 on top but leave it a little longer in front, hardest part is blending the different lengths - still faster than driving to a barber and back along with saving $25! Ladies at work were surprised when I told em I was doing it myself so must not be too bad. That and my wife would make me go somewhere if it wasn’t alright.

I worked with a guy that cut his own hair. It looked it too. The funny part this guy was loaded with money. Been single most of his life. Managment position with a large tech company. Looked like he put a bowl on his head and cut around it.
Thanks, Billy

I do. Couldn’t get it done during the shutdown, so I did it with an electric trimmer. #5 guide all over, then #3 or 4 on the sides. Turns out much more convenient than going back to the shop for it.

Prices of haircuts have been insane lately. I cringe taking my son.
