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 haven't paid to have my hair cut in years, maybe 8. I cut it myself (45F). I cut my daughter's (20F) hair when she wants me to. She actually won't go to a hairstylist anymore. She has really thick but fine hair and it always looked chopped when we paid to have it done. I groom my standard poodle and style his hair too. I've been dating my boyfriend for 7.5 years now. I always told him I could cut his hair too. He's very picky about it but it's a fairly simple style. During the pandemic he finally let me have a go at it. Now I cut his hair too. I've saved a lot of money doing it myself.
