That's horrible luck. blitzkrieg wrote:
Cutting one's own hair sure saves money, but is the cut as good quality as having it done by someone who cuts hair for a living and has a 360 view of a persons head without the use of mirrors?
I have heard of autistic folk who avoid the hairdresser or barber due to sensory reasons, which seems perfectly reasonable.
I hated having my hair cut as a kid partly due to anxiety about others in my personal space & touching me. I once had a huge meltdown when mom brought me to a haircut place so mom had to bring me home. She was angry with me so I decided to try cutting my hair myself. It looked like cr@p & mom was even more upset. I hid in my closet & the door-knob broke so the door had to be taken off the hinges. I didn't put up much of a fight about getting my hair cut since. I also never tried cutting any hair myself, not counting shaving my face & crotch. I'm probably lucky I don't have claustrophobia I have heard of autistic folk who avoid the hairdresser or barber due to sensory reasons, which seems perfectly reasonable.
My girlfriend has been cutting my hair since Covid. Buying a razor was a lot cheaper in the longrun & easier since it doesn't involve having to go out. Cass doesn't do a pefect job but it gets cut short so it's not very difficult to cut mostly evenly. Plus I have a bit of male-pattern baldness so I'm def not expecting my hair to look perfect

Yeah it's a lot of money.
We used to have a 50 bob barbers here.
I think a Bob was 5p in old money so I think it was £2.50 per haircut if I'm not wrong.

In my area, you can have hair cut as a dude and by someone else - relatively cheaply, so I just do that.
If it was a substantial amount to have my hair cut though, I might consider doing it myself.

That seems like a crazy amount, even for a ladies cut.
