Do You Cut Your Own Hair ???

Here is a passage to put you off cutting your own hair (though not if you are cutting it all off, like the OP):
"Did you notice how queer his hair looked?"
"Now you mention it, I did think it looked a bit odd."
Beesley began eating toast and marmalade. Chewing angrily, he went on: "He's bought himself a pair of hair-clippers. I found them in the bathroom yesterday. Cuts his own hair now, you see. Too sodding mean to pay out his one-and-six, that's what it is. My God." This, then, was why, from the back, Johns appeared to be wearing a blatant toupee which had slipped over slightly to one side, and why, from the front, his face appeared to be surmounted by a curious helmet. Dixon was silent, thinking that Johns had at last done something he rather respected.Kingsley Amis, Lucky Jim, ch. 17

Is this you?
I didn't click on Curious Angel's link until now. I just want to say that Moe Howard is one of my buffoon heroes, along with Basil Fawlty and Al Bundy.

Curly did not at all like having his head shaved. He shaved it to get the act accepted by a producer who thought on first viewing that he and his brother Moe looked too much alike. After he had a stroke and stopped making shorts, he grew his hair back, as you can see from his cameo appearance in Hold That Lion.
Ya...I only get my hair cut when I'm looking very shaggy too, which is about every two-three months. I got my hair cut locally in January and April, but in July I got it cut in Minneapolis, August in Toronto, and October in Austin. Each time the hair-cutter asks how to cut it, and I always encourage them to do what they think is best...there is no set style. It always grows back, so I like to change it up each time. I can't imagine cutting it myself, I'd slide off an ear...

I leave the tonsorial arts to those who have training and licensure. I am glad to pay for their skill.

I don't mind going to get my hair done... it's kind of a therapeutic in a way in that I take a batch of cookies or brownies (I've been going to the same hairdresser for years) and we have coffee and chat and I read trashy magazines that I would under normal circumstances never buy; and when it's all over I leave looking fabulous.

I am in the phase of cutting my own right now, trimmed to about 1/8" all over. In a couple years, I'll be in the mood to let it grow longer on top and have the back and sides shaved.
