    I started loosing hair in 3rd grade lol. I have some up top still, But for the last year or so I just cut it myself. Cheap, Don't have to wait or have an appointment, Just a mess to clean if its cold outside. If warm, The garage and either a shop vac or the leaf blower. I keep it short, 1/4 or less, But wont shave it, Not into the chrome dome.

    I get mine done for free. I cut hers. She cuts mine.

    Women are charged more because it usually takes longer to cut womens hair plus there is extra time with styling and usually more styling product used.

    I charge $35 for my womens cuts and $25 for my mens cuts.

    Haven't Cut Mine For About 8 Years, After Years Of

    Buzzcuts I Decided To Let It Grow, Then After 3 1/2 Years Had Passed

    It Was Well Past Shoulder Length And A Continual Source Of Grief

    Every Morning To Patiently Comb Out The Matts, Then In A Flash

    Of Vision..:bulb:..I Realised What It Was Trying To Do Was Dread, So

    I Did Days Of Research On The Internet And Decided To Let It Do

    It's Own Thang, And Do It's Own Thang It Most Certainly Has...:).

    Wouldn't Cut, I Think They Will Bury Me With Dreads...[​IMG].



    Cheers Glen.

    My mom is the only person who has cut my hair my entire life. I cut my own bangs, but that's it.

    I've been cutting my own hair for like ten years. I've gotten pretty good at it, and it takes like 5 minutes.

    In the past every once in a while I'd get in the mood to cut my hair after a night of drinking, and I ended up with some pretty weird haircuts. :biggrin:

    Crap On Me For It So After About 8 Inches I Finally Gave In To

    All The Pressure And Cut...:(.

    Every time I go to the hair dresser:

    Me: "I want something low maintenance: something I just need to brush. No blow drying, no hair products. I won't use them. Please don't use them on me, because I won't use them at home."

    Hairdresser: *Brain explodes*

    Then they always try and sell me expensive hair products. I've found maybe one stylist who doesn't do this. But I forgot who it was.

    It just annoys me that they make my hair look so nice in the chair, but then I know it will never look that way again! I don't even own a hair dryer :(.

    So to answer the question...I just like low maintenance haircuts. Sometimes, when it gets too long, I just chop it. Every year or so.

    I used to keep my hair to my waist or thereabouts.

    When I turned 52, I began keeping it cut to about shoulder level, to mid-back. I need it cut now. I'm not judging other not-young ladies for long hair... but for me, after I got older, I find I want to keep it shorter.

    I have very thick straight hair, and you would think I was asking THE WORLD when I've tried to get a simple, blunt (which is straight) cut. WTH is so hard about that?!?

    My hairdresser cousin usually cuts my hair, but my brother-in-law likes to cut it when he visits once a year. He is from California...I NEED to get it cut soon, before they visit. :eek: The last 2 years he has cut it with the sides longer...I know y'all know what I'm talking about...its supposedly a popular cut. :rolleyes: (He KNOWS I just want a Plain, Straight, Blunt cut!) I've had to cut it and fix it myself the last 2 years. I never say a word, but last year he quizzed me like the FBI about my 1200 hours in cosmetology school, and if I like cutting hair. :D

    I pay my cousin $20 for the cut and pay him nothing...he doesn't charge family (and I couldn't afford him anyway lol)

    I go to the same person here. She understands my hair and knows the hair cut and she is excellent. I would have to follow her, if she ever moved, but she says she never will. I just got it cut shorter a couple of weeks ago again. It was getting too long.
    In about another month, it should be the length I like the best.

    my neighbour cuts my hair. She also shows me how to make my food into actual tasty things. And walks my dog sometimes. IF it weren't fer her, I'd be a nervous wreck.

    I've been getting my hair cut from a guy from Ukraine that owns a barber shop down the road from me for a couple of years now.

    He's the best barber in the world.

    He has two other people working there, and I've let them take a whack at my hair once each. Thumbs down.

    I'll just sit there in the parking lot and time my entrance so I can get into his chair, lol

    I never thought of that.

    But wouldn't that be the same as telling the other barbers they suck?

    Yes It Would, But If They Really Suck, I Consider It Your Duty To

    Inform Them Of This Fact...[​IMG].
