Cutting my own hair. You should too. Resources and Inspiration
About 8 years ago one day I got sick of constantly having to make an appointment at my barbershop and actually going there and spending my time and money for a haircut, so I decided I'm gonna do it myself. I bought a simple 60 euro plug-in machine. On the beginning I was clumsy but after the 4th or 5th grooming I was getting used to it. I couldn't make my hair stylish, so I just cut it all to basic army style. Turns out I look even more masculine with that hair, and my friends and girlfriend liked it even more. 8 years in and I calculated that I saved about 3400 euros and 200 hours of my life just cutting my own hair. I also started cutting hairs of my friends after a while, earned me a lot of rounds of free beer.

I have long hair and have been cutting it myself for ages. I'm so used to doing it now that I sometimes do it in a rush and it still looks great.
I know it can be nerve-wracking to cut your own hair at first, but it is much more forgiving than you might assume.
