Update to this post about cutting my own hair. [More:]

I got thinning shears and a razor comb and hair scissors from Amazon. No pics, too lazy.

It really worked. I washed my hair and combed it all forward, and cut it straight across. Then I used the razor comb to comb through the last two inches or so. When I flipped my hair back, it was layered and tapered. It's magic, I tells ya. Magic!
i chopped off a couple pounds of hair from the back for locks of love. Two foot and a half long ponytails about an inch thick. i was gonna wait on what to do with the rest until after halloween. Now i don't know. The rest is still annoyingly long but it's easier to deal with a third less of the mass.

Woot woot, you go. I'm getting a haircut today, but not from myself- from the salon.

I'd love to be able to cut my own hair; as time moves on and I have less and less of it, paying for haircuts feels like some sort of racket.

I keep thinking that I should do this too since I'm in my mid-forties and am still waiting impatiently to go bald. An informal poll of my co-workers seemed to show that many of them either cut their own hair or their wives do it for them. I don't mind the $12 at Supercuts, I just never seem to find the time to get there. I'm semi-afraid that I'd poke my eye out or cut an ear off as I'm a huge klutz though.

You've got skillz, ico! I'd never have the nerve to even attempt that.

I cut my own hair, but then using a trimmer with a #3 spacer isn't all that challenging, so I guess I can't be too proud.

Two words: buzz cut (#2 for me). I got sick of paying full price for half a haircut, bought a hair trimmer kit for the price of two haircuts and haven't looked back. We use it for my son as well, so save doubly.
