I bribe my son. Then I machine cut it. He has a bath afterwards. Cutting his nails is even worse.

I hate haircuts. Same problems. Someone has to wash my hair and get water in my ears, then keeps bumping them when they are mercilessly scrubbing my scalp. Then conditioner then the towel covered beating they call 'towel drying'. THen there is the COMB!! ! and the snip snip, talk talk, snip snip, talk talk. well, you get the picture. I like to keep my own hair trimmed and go in for an actual haircut maybe twice a year.

I am still suffering through another horrible drastic hair decision where in a state of depression, I went from really long hair to a bob...and it was so depressing...now it is this messy grown-out medium length thing, and i can't put it in braids yet because it was layered short in the back. I sometimes cut my own hair, particularly my bangs, but I have sorta let them go for a while. Maybe i am growing them out.

The trouble with haircutters is they are difficult to communicate with and don't generally seem to care about whether or not their client is making the best decision.


Ooh, I hate that ugly medium length period. Have you tried making two messy buns on either side of your head? That sometimes looks good, maybe with some sparkly clips. :wink:

As a kid I could not stand having my hair cut. As an adult, I get it cut as short as possible (to my likeing) so I have to go through it less times a year. Although it does not bother me as much now, but still don't care for it.

Even worse was cutting my nails, that I would run and hide every time I saw nail clippers.

I don't like having mine cut. I have a barber who is quick about it. I'll compromise quality for speed anyday where haircuts are concerned. I don't like having someone hover around me and all that touching.

I've never been a big fan of haircuts, mainly because I hate small talk with the barber, but I HATE long hair because I hate the sensation of my oily hair on my forehead (I wash it in the morning and it's a greasy mop by bedtime).

I don't mind getting it cut, but I would rather cut it myself or let my dad cut it, because barbers like to talk a lot and that really bugs me. :(

I like getting haircuts cuz I love looking clean with a fresh cut. I hate having a bad looking head. Only thing I don't like is having to do small talk with the barber. Once I leave the barbershop I feel much better.
