Never ever follow a cutting your own hair advice.
My mom was a stylist. She showed me all the tricks, so I can do skin fades and the like. The back gets tricky sometimes, so I'm glad mullets are currently trendy.
Yeah, this response is pedantic as fuck but y'all can't make blanket statements like that!
Unless you're bald, then it's the greatest one
im a baldo - it's the only benefit. I've spent ~$100 on clippers over the last 20 years. Being bald will enable me to retire like one day early, so it's been worth it overall.
Now I wish I was bald.
Me and my wife cut each others hair, it works well and we both get compliments on it ... but yeah, I can imagine there's a lot of people out there who couldn't pull it off
Why not? If you're fine with a simple haircut, it's really quite practical. I'm a guy and do a simple taper fade from 1" on top to 1/4" on bottom (similar to this).
My brother did it for years and he got to a VP level role at a large insurance company. If he did a bad job, there's no way he would've gotten that kind of role because it's as much about personal presentation as it is about competency.
I have my wife check it each time, but I don't have her do it because I think I do a better job.
Same here, but a bit shorter than in the picture. I haven't been to a hairdresser for at least 35 years.
Yup, mine is shorter on top and a little longer on bottom. I've never been a hairdresser, but my mom always did my hair and taught me, and I've had hairdresser friends.
The only time I'll get mine done is if it's a friend, otherwise it's a waste of time and money for me. Yeah, a hairdresser is faster than me, but not with transportation to their shop, and the quality difference isn't high enough to matter for me (I don't care about my hairstyle, as long as it's presentable).
Speak for yourself. I have long curly hair and if it's all irregular, no one can tell. Every time I wash my hair it curls differently anyway.
No, wait. Let's see where this goes.
