Anyone else cut their own hair?

I've recently taken to cutting my own hair rather than going out to the barbers. This was purely a time saving measure (driving + queuing), but I've also noticed I can do a better job than the person who cuts my hair because I know exactly how I want it.

I guess it also saves a tenner every month.

I get the back of my head by feel only. My mummy tells me I look very handsome afterwards.

I got some decent scissors for Amazon for £12 and they've helped a lot too.

Anyone else cut their own hair then? Presumably I'm about to get loads of comments about being tight, gay, etc. Which is fine.

Ps the mummy thing was a joke.
 
As much as I hate getting my hair cut, I don't think this would end up well :D

I don't because i dont trust myself not to mess it up. At the rate my hairline is receeding i may just clipper it all off in another 5 years or so and start doing it myself from that point on (if you can call removing all hair from your head a haircut). I actually enjoy getting my hair cut as i find it relaxing but it does cost me ~£100 a year to get the same 'boring' haircut i've had for the last 15 years.
 
I wasn't really talking about the clippers all over crowd as it's hard to mess that up, more scissor cutting your own hair.

The 'I've got lots of hair so I can't do it' comments are interesting. I don't have lots of hair, but I'm not bald/ing either; I'm not sure that having lots of hair stops you having a go...give it a try and if you mess it up that badly because you're a spastic, you can always get it fixed at the barber.

It's really not that hard with a good pair of scissors. Best tip is to not cut it dry or it'll look bad. Always wet it and comb so you get even cuts.
 
Only when I get bored and decide to shave it all off, if it needs styling it's off to turkish barbers.
