Does anyone cut their own hair?

i would rather go to the dentist than the hair dressers atleast at the dentist I can't talk so won't be a gibbering nervous wreck, Going to the hairdressers I am allways frightened of making small talk and the conversation drying up making me feel alkward.

Guess I'll be stuck with this eighties throw back pony tail for a while Sad

Try one of those Flowbee things. I got one and it works really well.

Of course I'm a guy and I wear my hair real short. Its supposed to be able to do multiple styles, but I wouldn't want to try messing around with that myself.

I never really enjoyed going to get a haircut, but I always managed to get it done just the same. But, between the unpleasantness of the experience and the way they keep raising their prices to do essentially what I do all by myself with the Flowbee thing; its well worth it.

I hate going to the hairdressers, so last time I needed my hair cut, I got my mum to do it. I even got her to attempt to style it... I really hate my hair at the moment, so I need to get it done professionally soon. But am dreading it. If I get to feeling any worse about it, I'll just do it myself though. At least it'll be different to how it is now.

I cut my own hair too. I used to get professional hair cuts, but they are just getting too pricey. Plus my anxiety problem does not help me either. Cutting my own hair saves me unnecessary stress and waste of money. Those people charge too much for a little trim. I can do it myself just fine and spend my money on something else that I really need or want.

I'd never cut my own hair, to risky. Far safer to go to a Barbers at least that way I know it will come out alright and I don't have to worry about it again for a few months.

I am bald now recently cut hair to short with new clippers.

I dont like going to barber shop always went on week day when it would be slow.

I didnt go bald over that. I did used to have a few drinks first before going there and sit quiet with eyes shut.

I know what u mean.

my hair is getting longer and longer. I really want a nice hair cut but am putting it off. My head shakes, or I get these little tremors. So I try to avoid getting short cuts, fringes or anything that requires them to be really close and focussed on my head. I sit there talking about boring stuff like the weather, and I feel like a boring drone.
The shaking comes in spurts, I wonder what they think when it happens. No one ever says anything, but it would be noticable. I mean, what would you say!? lol, gotta laugh or the other option is cry, right!!?

I hate going to the barbers and I'd like to be able to cut my own hair, but I just don't see it happening. I'd make the most disastrous mess of it, unless I went totally bald and just buzzed the whole lot off with clippers. That really wouldn't suit me though. I guess my vanity outweighs my anxiety.
