Cutting my own hair. You should too.

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 buzzed my head for the first time a few weeks ago (I'm a woman whose had shoulder length-long hair my entire life) and it's been amazing. No hair tools or products, no salon, no time...... I thought it would be a one-time thing but I'm not so sure about that now.
