I do, just buzz it when it gets to long. Much cheaper. I don't need a fade or a nike sign.

:roll: but it looks like a lot of work. i cut my own hair. i dont mind being patient using 2-3 mirrors, its like a 15 min job to do the back (no homo). #2 fade on the sides and back, blending it in with #4, and cutting a little on top. it works for me.

:roll: I wouldn't have even thought of anything gay if you hadn't of put "no homo."
And i don't use a mirror at all. If your going for a simple one all around, its not too difficult even without a lot of mirrors. One, in the bathroom, max.

lol that's a crazy set-up.
I'm growing mine out now but I usually do a number one all the way around and usually don't even look at the back till I'm done. I have been doing it for years so it's pretty easy and a lot cheaper too.

I've been cutting my own hair since I was 13, so I do a pretty good job.

i just do a clipper with no guards on it. Easy as to do yourself, you can feel any high spots, just re do the area, works everytime. I used to get mine cut, but ish started getting thin on the top (think slightly better hairling than Bron) so I just shaved the whole lot, one of the best things I've done.

I've been cutting my own since I was 15 (39 now), so I've been at it for a while. I prefer cutting it standing up though, with a decent mirror with a handle on it, to make sure it's precise while using the main wall mirror to check the back of my head. Lighting is verrrrryy important also, especially when doing fades.
I'm way past the "Funky Fresh, High-Top Fade with the multiple designs and a tail" era of the late 80s-early 90s though. A simple fade with a hair trimmer lining is enough for me.

i have been cutting my hair for the last 10years. when i was 14-15 i use to cut all my friends hair. to do mine takes me about 5 minutes maybe 10 if im picky. i usually do a 2 on the sides, 1 to fade the edges and 0 to clean up and then just trim the top alittle.

I cut mine. Don't shave it though. started out just trimming the fringe when it got in my eyes then started just cutting it all with scissors. Usually have my girlfriend check the backs done right. That set up is pretty crazy
I taught myself how to give myself a fade. I save tons of money and always look like I just got a cut (because I did). Just watch some vids on youtube and start practicing with a bigger clip at first.

I cut my own hair. I do the old USMC high and tight so it's not too hard.
Nice set up you got there. I should try that.

Cutting your own hair, you miss the experience of the wonder that is a barbershop.

buzz it myself also
Yepz.
I just trim the sides, work the fringe a little, thin out the top a little. It's not that hard. Most barbers here operate during business hours, so I never have time to go anyway.

I can't fade correctly though. I only buzz it if it's going to be one length. If I could taper my neck and fade on the sides I'd never pay for a haircut again.

Nope. I've had the same barber for a long time. He does my hair perfectly. No way I'd be able to do what he does without a lot of practice. Which means probably ****ing my shit up a couple of times. It does get expensive though, so being able to cut your own hair is great.
i do. my hair is thin as hell now. i'll be really balding in another 5 yrs or so.

Yeah I shave my own head. No point paying 12 bucks + tip for something I can do myself.

I taught my wife to cut my hair. #1 on the sides faded to a #3 and #5 on top....every two weeks. This saves me about $24 a month.

cheap niqqas.
I only pay $5 ($7 or $8 with the tip) to get it buzzed down like once a month.

thats moronic, you can just hold a handheld mirror, and do the back of your head. Technology makes people retarded.

I have one of those thick hair that it feels like it's long after a month even though it still looks somewhat short in the mirror but I usually always have to buzz every 30 days or so.
I buzz my own hair with a 3/8 inch guard. Then, I use no guard to try to fix the back, but it never looks good.

Is everyone on this site either bald or buzzed?
I don't cut my hair. I have a hair style and I can't trust myself with scissors.

I have a Hitler Youth cut going on, so I could never even attempt to cut that on my own. I'd **** it up so badly.

Mom's a barber so I get them for free and whenever I want. :lol Usually just a slight trim on the top and 0 on the sides every 1-2 weeks. Hair grows crazy ****ing fast and my fingernails too. Gotta clip them bitches almost every ****ing week or they become claws.

I cut mine. Just cut it shortish with scissors and have my girlfriend do the back. On the odd occasion I have seen a hair dresser in the last few years they've never done it how I liked so I just stuck to doing it myself.
