Cut my own hair yesterday!

I used the instructions from this website: http://sherylcanter.com/wordpress/2009/09/easy-way-to-cut-your-own-hair-in-a-curly-bob/
It only took about 10 minutes! I saved a ton of time and money and I won't go back to a salon. Ever!
(I'm also growing out the grey. I'm at about the 4 week point.)
Do you cut your own hair too?

(20,546 posts)Opted to stay put yesterday. Will see urgent care later today or tomorrow. The aching last night eased up. The ER should've given me some pain meds. It's said that's how they're being lately. I blame the unmentionable in the oval office for EVERYTHING bad. Even my dilemma. And I don't care!
Grateful for your kindness and concern.

Will go to the urgent care in our insurance loop.
The hospital ER said I could come back there. $$$. Sure.
I appreciate your good thoughts, violetpastille!

(7,210 posts)One benefit of getting older & inheriting my dad's bald-on-top hairline is that I just set my clippers on the shortest setting & shave it off every 6 weeks or so.
I figure I save a ton on shampoo & lots of time blow drying. Plus it's a lot cooler in the Florida heat!

I've not been to a salon in 30yrs! I also cut my hub's hair.

(1,483 posts)I cut my husband's and my daughters hair also. Haircuts have gotten really expensive, $50 dollars for a woman's cut is pretty much the beginning price where I live. But the result is pretty meh and they seem to always play crummy new country.

You did a great job on your cut! You look rocking!

(24,013 posts)I wish I could chance cutting my own...but I have a ton of hair and cant seem to bring myself to let it go grey yet. Maybe when my kiddo is out of high school. 😏 I go to my stylist/colorist every six weeks. Hey, im a job creator! 😉

(92,665 posts)on occasion but would rather someone else do it... usually a trusted friend. But my hair is about three ft. long so it's not hard to deal with like it would be if it were short. Even with long hair, I don't spend a lot on shampoos and such, I spend about $60/yr on such things. When I can't brush it anymore is when I'll be keeping it short but not until then.

(251 posts)I didn't know that it was possible to cut your own hair that well! As a man who always has a high fade, I'm not too confident mine would turn out as well! And my face isn't as pretty as your's! 😂

(8 posts)Other than a few years, I've cut my own hair, probably badly to very badly, but as a computer guy that added credibility. Mostly it's just chopping an inch or two off my pony tail when the split ends make combing my hair to make the pony tail too painfull.
When some coworkers tried to remake my life, I found getting a cut pleasant with the wash, the comb and cut, plus the cutter explained what she was doing, the layered cuts and such.
I don't have the patience to even try anymore.
But hey, my hair and beard reinforces my now aging curmudgeon image.
But you did a great job!
Do you think about how you made some worker poorer, like I do when I think about all the people I don't pay to keep up appearances?

(32 posts)Youd look good though even if it had been choppy.
Ive never even trimmed bangs well, but Ill follow you link and give it serious thought. I think I need clever lines of a stylist to have a flattering hair cut though. Its the hair color thats a bigger expense and hassle. I like mixed colors, not one-color dies.

(658 posts)I got tired of getting a bad haircut every time I got it cut. I decided to get a set of clippers and do it myself. The cut is every bit as good as any I'd get at a barber shop or salon, and it's free. My wife does trim around my ears and the back of my neck, so I suppose it's a team effort.
