Everyone expects 20% no matter what. Especially those stylists who are working as independent contractors for a large company like Great Clips. Prices went up kind of fast in 2020, so I asked my wife to learn how to cut my hair during the lockdown, and I haven’t gone back to a professional since.
After a while you get pretty good at it. I just run over it with the buzzer multiple times and run my finger tips over the back of my head a few times looking for longer strips I missed. Also if you’re out in the win you’ll feel those longer hairs you missed waggling around. I trim once a month or so but if you do it more often you’ll be likely to catch it the next time you buzz. I understand some people just don’t like the buzzed look, but I wear hats most of the time anyway and couldn’t imagine spending 20$+ to have my hair done.
I started shaving my head just because I hated getting haircuts. I had a few times where I missed a couple spots but now it’s second nature and is faster than shaving my face.

I’m between wives at the moment but I picked up a clipper and have been cutting my own for the past year or so. Otherwise yes 20%.
That’s brave! I would never cut my own hair. Well, I guess I would shave my own head. But I’d still be nervous about missing something.

Bro, you obviously do not look good like that. People can tell you cut your own hair. You do not spend enough time doing it for it to look nice.
Yeah, they all know. Even barbers trade haircuts with other barbers. You can afford $20 once every 3 weeks.
Respect yourself. A good haircut (and working out) is like the cheapest way to look nice.

Sorry I’m not so vain that I have to be out impressing everyone all the time.

i lean over the bathtub and rub my scalp raw with the damnable clippers… so nervous to miss a spot.
I do the same thing but I have my wife do the edges on the back of my neck because there’s just no way I can feasibly do that part myself.
It ain’t easy being cheesy. It’s an act of contortion but I get it done.
