    Oh if it matters, this is how I got my clippers:

    • Bought trimmer set at grocery store, didn't come with hair guards necessary
    • Bought hair guards on amazon, didn't fit the trimmer I bought
    • Tried returning trimmer, no refunds allowed at this time
    • Bought clippers on amazon that was supposed to work with the hair guards, they lied
    • Amazon issued full refund for those clippers since they would not accept a return
    • Ordered a pair of clippers (with hair guards!) from JCPenney, order ended up auto-canceling a few days later
    • Ordered the same pair of clippers from Conair directly, they arrived yesterday.

            Copper I’m glad you’re here to remind me that you play golf every day (I wish I could) and have clippers at your local Target (wish I did).

              How funny, I finally cut my own hair today too. Just used clippers and hair guards #3, 6, and 8. It didn't turn out so bad, but I definitely would prefer not doing that each time. Heck, the hair cleanup alone was a PITA!

              Yeah. Thinking of moving it to my back porch next time. Still would sweep it up, but wouldn’t worry so much about the little stuff I missed.

                I use a pair of scissors I also use to open Amazon packages and cases of chicken fillets.

                Just kidding. I of course use a box cutter for the Amazon packages.

                Please love yourself.

                    I’ve been cutting my own hair for years. My method is to remove the bath mat, take the dyson stick vac in with me, strip down and just vacuum it all up before getting in the shower. I don’t let it fall into the sink.

                    If you need to wet your hair to get an even cut, then it doesn’t work.

                      Good feedback. I used an old bedsheet to cover the bathroom and then a dyson stick to vacuum anything it didn’t catch.

                        I cut hubby's hair out in the yard, with a towel around his shoulders then he shakes out the towel before he goes inside for a shower.

                        Supposedly, human hair clippings will deter some animals. I'm not convinced that works around here.

                          How many elephants have you had in the yard since you started cutting his hair?

                              I dunno. Might be kind of fun. But even when it was quite long - past my shoulders - I couldn't do a pony tail. Maybe I just didn't know how.

                                    Sure did. George would be SO samurai in a man bun. Especially with that big bird on his shoulder. And an eyepatch.

                                    Oh, wait.. now he's a pirate.

                                      I actually bought the clippers last August. Been buzzing the head since then, it makes hair care so easy.
