      Except for special occasions, I'd been cutting my own hair for 10+ years. (mostly just a simple semi buzz cut...and the Mrs would help shave the neck) Just figured there wasn't enough to make a fuss about.

      Last summer, an old classmate was online, almost begging for people to come by the new "Hair Cuttery" place she was working at, so I figured, what the hell. While there, I made some lame crack along the lines of, "As thin as it is--do I get a discount!?"

      She said, "You're lucky I don't charge a fukkin finders fee."

      Been going ever since.

      (until the shutdown)

        Clippers only. I don’t have scissors. I ordered some styling shears but they won’t get here until next week

        Only non-witches get due process.

                  When you guys say "hair" I thought you meant, like, HAIR. Lots, thick, John Travolta when young, HAIR.

                  You are making a mistake. If you wait, soon the plaid sportscoats will come back into style, bell bottoms, platform shoes. It's just around the corner, and now you went and cut your hair. Boy, are you all gonna stand out. Square, man!!

                      Cut my own hair today.

                      Not bad from the front. I can't really see the back, so probably not great.

                        I thought about it last night but stepped away from the scissors. Jealous of all the bald dudes who have no issue with zoom video calls now. They are having their moment.

                        I will be sharing this with hubby. He's not completely bald, just some hair around the sides. I use an electric clipper on him. We've been doing that for a while now.

                          I generally cut my own but my wife helped me a few days ago due to my hand injury. It looks amazing as always.

                            Jon, maybe you should ask your wife to even it out a bit. Otherwise....it looks great.

                                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!

                                  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.
