VelvetVoices Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Do you cut your own hair? or have you in the past? What was the outcome? My last haircut (at a salon) was truly a letdown, I told the gf that I'll just shave it all off myself during summer time. When fall comes I'll grow it out a little and was thinking I'd just buy some clippers and do it myself, don't know yet. So anyone else cut there own hair? http://www.mrcheapstuff.com/images/bad_hair_cut.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I had a truly terrible haircut at a salon a while back. I went home and cut it myself, which turned out ok, but decided to just clip it. It turned out good and have done it a couple times since. So go for it. Oh, heres progress pics right after a buzz I did myself. viewtopic.php?f=48&t=21303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I used to trim my own bangs. But now the salon I go to as a free bang trims so no. I'm not the most dexterous person ever and I'm pretty sure I would butcher my hair. But I'm a girl with curly hair. I would imagine it might be easier for dudes? I don't know.

VelvetVoices Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 Haven't cut my own hair in years, I would just do a buzz cut which was pretty easy. But the style of cut I get at the salon is both sides/back shaved and top of head is cut short finger length, which is a little more difficult to do when I let it grow back in the fall. Hoping to pick up a hair trimmer this weekend and give it a shot again. If I screw it up, I'll post pic's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im Your Man Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Since many years I almost always cut my hair myself. I go to a salon once or twice per year and the results are not so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcina Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I've cut my hair many times. I even shaved my own head once. It takes longer, but it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinVegartin Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Yes. I have been cutting it for the past few years. I make an excellent job. Better than any barber or hairdresser I've ever been to. I might not be Mr Teasy-Weasy but I am a dab hand with scissors and electric clippers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoidangel Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 When Underworld first came out I was so in love with Kate Beckinsale's hair and for some reason got the brilliant idea to cut and dye my own hair to look the same. I threw my hair in a pony tail and chopped it off...the out come was okay. I wasn't too disappointed, but I definitely wouldn't do it again. I had a lot of really uneven parts Oh well...It's just hair, it grows back This was the outcome...http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/AmyHouse/19236_650186379393_27213555_3806331.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sosso Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I shave mine or get my sister, who is a hairdresser, to do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb123 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I'm a hairdresser and I usually cut my own hair. Sometimes you just can't trust a hairdresser You could most definitely do it yourself. If you're going to buzz it all over, there should be no problem. Just invest in a decent pair of clippers and take your time. If you're planning on keeping the top a bit longer then you'll need a set that includes guides or is adjustable. Start out with the longer guides or settings and if it's too long you can always go shorter. Just make sure any attachments are secure before you start.....don't want to find out the hard way that the guide wasn't secure. Good luck with your cutting endeavors!

Cold Fission Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I've cut my own hair for the last 8 years. I need a haircut now but i hate doing it but i hate the way they cut my hair at hair cut place even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snivelingchild Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 The last time I cut my hair (8 years ago) It was all horrible and uneven and I had to go have a professional fix it. I can't be bothered with all that. Now I have dreads, so no cutting, and my boyfriend's going bald so he has me shave his head. Easy peasy.

xjohanx Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I cut my own hair for maybe 4-5 years but last time I went to a pro and I will probably do that the next time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adena Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I always cut my own hair. I've cut it in a couple different ways. Sometimes it doesn't turn out so great, but it grows really fast, luckily. I've cut it a bit like Amelie's hair (if you've ever seen that movie) and it looks ok. I've had the Chelsea, which is all shaved or buzzed except for bangs and side flaps, and it actually looks pretty rockin' on me. Right now it's getting quite a bit longer and I'm hoping to grow it out before my wedding. I always have bangs, and somehow usually manage not to get them too uneven. It took a lot of practice, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
