Wow, in the closet hairdressers!! I am a hairdresser, a cutter and a colorist and I cut my own hair because hairdressers don’t always get it. What I mean is people like me don’t want to be told “oh, you don’t need a haircut or a hair color” I say ” ok, well then just fake it” because I need the attention!!

Most people need attention , a little kindness and my advice to hairdressers that are rufusing services is this— don’t make quick judgments like ” you don’t need a haircut or a color because you la dee dah don’t need one…..the only hairdresser I go back to is the one who does not give me this grief if I ask for a service….she knows I just like to hang out with her, and the hairdressing makes herself available to me.\through this and the hairdressing is an extra perk— Gotta Go Go…j

Cutting hair is a simple chore. I have found it painful to give another, usually a stranger, the right to take blades to my skull. Once the the required materials are purchased, haircuts are free after about the third cut. It derives one a sense of power and lets one manipulate and maintain the look of the hair on one’s head. Great fun, great cut, good luck!

i ve been cutting my own hair for almost 2 years because the hairdressers were quite awful ..and i did learned some styles abt cutting my own hair it took me about at most 30 minites ..at first it really pay off because u got wat u want,u save money , and traveling cost but u get bored ..now i just moved to china where the people cant speak or understand english..am going to be here for one year so i think i might have to still cutting my own hair because of communication problem..
but ive always wondered wat do people think abt my haircut ..
but my guest is sometimes u have to go to hairdressers and sometimes u can just cut your own hair by yourself ..the reason y u should go to hairdressers at least twice(depending on the length of your hair) is bcuz u have to keep in touch with humanity, so that people do not doubt u

I’ve found it is much easier to cut the back of my head through feel rather than using mirrors. of course I use clippers instead of scissors so your mileage may vary. I just go back to the mirror to check how is looks every once in a while to see if I missed something

One advantage to having a receding hairline and just accepting it is having a buzz cut. I must be an asshole because I cut my own hair and I am getting pretty good at it. I used to just use one guide on the trimmer for the whole thing but I have since mastered fading the sides into the top. I think that it actually looks better than just the one length all over cut. Anyway, it saves me about $20 a month and that’s another fringe benefit.

I’ve been cutting my own hair for the last 2 years now – and I’m pretty successful but it does take about 50 minutes using nail scissors. I don’t know why I do, just didn’t like the way my hair was being cut by the hairdressers where I live.

Most people are shocked when I say I did it myself, then they scrutinise it until they find the long hair I missed. Shouldn’t really tell anyone, but that’s no fun.

I find it’s best to have a really simple haircut and style it yourself. That way you can go to really cheap barbers and they get it right every time. On the other hand, the most expensive haircut I have ever had was probably my worst. That’ll teach me to not pay bottom dollar for my haircut.

And on that note, why are regular barbers; the kind that charge about $15 per haircut, the best at cutting men’s hair? If you go to some kind of “salon” where they “style” instead of cut, you always come out questioning what you just did. I don’t want flock of seagulls going on, I just want it an inch long, is it that hard?

I find just the opposite–the longer I stick with a haridresser, the more they seem to take me for granted, and the sloppier the cuts get.

Man, this is some very elaborate kind of masochism.
