Who Cuts Their Own Hair?

[gueser]

yessir BIC'd havent paid for a haircut since 93':.

 

[deezyvsop]

Zero all the way around for a while now. Takes about 10 minutes tops.

At first I thought I looked kind of stupid, especially cuz my ears stick out a bit.

But I got used to it and everyone said it looked good too. My bro paying like $20 every two weeks, eff that. And lucky me, even if I didn't want a buzzcut, wifey took cosmetology courses and could practically work at a salon.

I cut my own hair. Been doing it since freshman year in high school, but over the years i learned how to do my own fades, back and everything.

 

[madkicks]

ive been cutting my own hair for a few years.

i use the wahl super taper. grade 2.5 all over then 2 on the sides. i shape up using the edge of the clipper (no guard). then i might use a razor. i use thescissors alot near and above the ears. but i always need help doing the back. saves me alot of time and money. i cut every week so i dont care about fades,just keepin it shaped up and clean.

Go to the barber the first time for the shapeup and then when its growing back you'll know where to cut it.

I've been giving myself line-ups since HS. It was rough learning.

I had that cancer patient look from time to time after failing miserably. I'm good now though...

 

[ac4three]

I get my Mom to.

 

[dabuddhawitjays]

I do my own line-ups. Imagine how much money we save though.

:O

 

[crobers 78]

Yeah i do...going on like 8 years now

 

[extraordinary swag]

I been cutting my own hair for maybe six years now. Saves a ton of money, but you gotta practice. It takes time to get those line ups looking hood barber shopfresh. And you need multiple types of clippers, I use a Andis T-Outline for the shape ups and an Andis Headliner for the rest of my hair.

I got a question though how do yall fade the back out? I been too scared to try it so I just keep it even length all around.
