Cutting your own hair

Sam, I cut my own hair but I am not sure if I am the right person to give you tips based on your hair type and what you are saying you want. I keep my hair pretty shaggy, which is really easy to do yourself. Blunt cut or straight, not so much. Do you have a friend who can help you out at all with it?

I have a more elaborate hair cut now but I still cut my own bangs. It's frankly pretty obvious when I do this and my beloved stylist gives me a little shit for it but I don't care. If she wanted me to get my hair cut professionally more often, she shouldn't charge $60!

This reminds me, I desperately need to at least trim up my bangs.

lauren, I'm extremely lazy.

the last trim I had I went to this place near campus that advertised "$8 haircut". I only wanted a trim so thought it was worth a shot. I walked in and an older man and woman were sitting in obv. underused chairs surrounded by piles of clutter and magazines. The woman looks up, annoyed, and says "yes?" Me, "uh can I get a haircut?" The whole thing took five minutes and I had to ask her to cut my bangs after she'd already whipped off the cape. I strongly suspected the $8 haircut was just a front for some other business.

Oooo is there a beauty school near you? That's a good way to get a cheap haircut.

this is all done dry too, btw, which I think is better for seeing the end results.

I'm just stubborn and entirely too diy.

I HAVE cut my hair with very disatrous results. I am still thinking about the 1999 incident - I got crazy with the scissors, and ended up looking like a drunk lesbian wannabe. Bangs AND a mullet! Do not drink and cut. Wine, scissors and a mirror do not = anything but the fun you had in the moment. You have to live with it. For a very long time.

i have given random people haircuts in random places. i think it is the best way.

th only time i have been refused a haircut was when i asked them to cut my bangs into an off center point. it seemed like a good idea.

I also did "Locks of Love" once. I'm considering it again because it's so long.( my hair) They request a lot of locks!

welcome back C. When I asked for above eyebrow bangs, they gave me below eyebrow bangs, when I asked for short bangs, they gave me regular above eyebrow bangs. If I ask for Ceasar bangs, perhaps I will get what I want.

I'm at a "what do i do?" stage now. Blah.

hahaha, I share your self-image angst, beth.

I think I'm just crabby because it's raining here and I'm having an attack of the frizz. This could anger me enough to go at it with scissors when I get home.

On the other hand, if the haircut you request is going to make you look (in their opinion) ridiculous, or just not suit you, then they're not going to want you telling people you got it from them.

I cut my own fringe once and my hairdresser laughed at me. Now I get my hair cut three times a year in a fancy Aveda salon, where I pay loads of money but it looks great for four months.

We can tie Ed down and do funny things to his dreadlocks.

ACtually, I haven't showered today due to the powercut, so maybe no one should be cutting mine hair.

She came pretty close, just left the bangs too long.

bollocks i didn't see this til now! ohwell.

To this day, I still regret getting a home done st00ges cut by Ron Asheton on the grounds that we were "too wasted".

I found the opposite true. When I had short hair I was able to cut and style it into a killer graduated bob all by myself. Now I have long hair, it's too difficult to cut straight and have all the layers and crap. But I do actually really enjoy going to a salon, so it's not that bad.
