Anyone else cut their own hair?

CREATIVE!11 · 18 Mar 2017 at 13:55

I did at one point but I kept doing a terrible job. Got called out for it.

I've cut my own hair since it became clear that the only style option available to me was the No. 1 guard all over

I remember that day well. We all thank you for it!

If you are cutting your own hair with scissors, aren't you going to end up with a mullet?

We need pictures.

Grade 1 all over for me, got a cheap set of clippers but does the job.

Punt · 18 Mar 2017 at 14:41

Just finished my cut ten minutes ago. Number 1 all over for me too. Sometimes I ask the wife to finish me off

Clippers all over for me, without a guard so as short as possible without resorting to taking a Bic razor to my head. Been using the same pair of Wahl clippers for donkeys years and must have saved an absolute fortune on haircuts.

Sorted.

Sorted until the Russians blackmail with video of your regular activity.

I go with the safer option of trimming my own hair with clippers.

Clippers for the last ~25 years, Wahl set from ~2008 still going strong.

My wife cuts mine, clippers then scissors.

new boy · 18 Mar 2017 at 16:45

I've tried to tidy it up after I noticed the barbers missed a few stray hairs on my crown, and it was a nightmare trying to coordinate my hands to make the scissors go where I wanted when looking in the mirror, I kept going the wrong way

Fair play to those that do I guess

Just bought today the Wahl Clip n Rinse trimmer from Boots @ £22.99, This to replace my Remington Trimmer that is 14yrs+
Have been shaving my head since my hair started receding back in the 90's and does a good job on my beard too.
Lots of different makes and prices but all do the same job.

Been doing it for 10 years now, 3 around the side and 6 on top. Luckily my hair just kind of blends in and doesn't need grading.

Malevolence · 18 Mar 2017 at 19:56

Yep, I do too. Clippers (without guard) all over once a month.

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.

Sorted.

I don't cut it myself, but the front (I won't say fringe as I brush it upwards) grows significantly faster than the rest of my hair so I often use a combination of scissors and clippers to bring it back in line until I'm due another full cut.

ED209 · 18 Mar 2017 at 22:31

Mines simple, a cheap pair of cutters from Argos and number 2 all over when it gets too long and annoys me.

ten mins or so and all sorted, no waiting down the barbers for half hour or going back when less busy lol

Fuzz · 18 Mar 2017 at 22:53

another clippers guy.

Grade 3 in the winter, grade 2 in the summer..
DONE.
The most traumatic thing is hoovering the mess up afterwards
