You ever try to cut your own hair?

Post Reply New Topic

I usually get someone in my family to cut my hair...
three years ago I cut my hair short like a boys because I could not be bothered with long hair...my hair is now shoulder length.I cut it a month ago.

Yes, but it's not a exactly a refined method: I gather it in a fist under my chin and chop off what hangs out below my hand.

I really dislike strange people touching my head and the snipping noises right next to my ears. Also, I could never describe a haircut well enough to end up with the same one twice.

I sometimes get this terrible urge to tidy up the hair of strangers who sit in front of me on the bus. I think it might cause trouble.

Several times during childhood - once, notably, during school hours. It didn't end well.

i cut my own hair all the time, since the early 90s, using a flowbee. this wonderful invention has paid for itself many many times over. i use it, a beard trimmer and a good pair of barber shears plus 2 mirrors. i cut my hair just the way i like it, without having to fight with a barber/hair stylist with their own ideas on how it should be cut.

Yes, a couple times when I was around three or four years of age.

all my haircuts this year have been self applied. Usually its good minus the top back corner which is hard to get.

Last 3 years ive only self cut... or shaved

When I was younger getting a haircut was torture. Some random stranger who I'd never met before would try to wrestle me into the hair washing sink with the neck thing that made me feel like I was being strangled. Then they'd get me with the hot noisy blow dryer, then pull my hair trying to brush out the tangles they made with the blow dryer . My hair used to be really long, like down to my butt, when I was little because of the whole traumatic ordeal of getting a haircut. When I was in 3rd and 4th grade my mom worked as a massage therapist at a hair salon, so I got to know the ladies who worked there from hanging out there all the time. From then til this year Julie was the only person I'd let cut my hair. And she'd do it for free too since we were close friends. I looked at her price list once and what I usually got done once I was in junior high and high school would've cost $150+ . Recently her husband was injured so she's been home taking care of him. I'd usually only get a hair cut 3 or 4 times a year, and I was due for another one, but Julie was busy, and I can't afford, nor do I trust anyone else to do my hair. I've been cutting dog hair for 5 years now, so I knew I had the technical scissor skills, it was just a matter of if I could get the style right. My mom offered to pay for someone else to cut it or to do it herself, but I don't trust anyone else, and I knew she'd try to make it girly and with those straight across bangs that I think look ridiculous on me. So I just did it myself a couple of weeks ago, and I really like how it turned out. I don't think I'll ever go to a salon for a haircut again (eyebrow waxing is another matter lol). I'll have to post some pictures soon if I can get my camera to cooperate again.

i give myself a trim once per year, whether i need it or not.

I usually have my mother or oldest sister give me a buzz.

I look bad with a lot of head hair (in guy terms) so I prefer really short hair or just bald. Facial hair for me looks better if I trim it right but I prefer not to have it and it looks better with short or no hair on me.

i never cut my hair so short that you can see my scalp, i always leave it at dutchboy length at least.

YAY!! ! i am now officially in the 5-digit club!! !

I don't have a cute or baby face, so a rougher look complements my facial structure more.

In the proper attire and hair length I would look like a skinhead.

if macho-faced fabio can carry off long hair, you can, too.
