Not enough hair to cut.....
My wife trims the wild hairs once a month or so
Decent hair clippers are $30-40 so they pay for themselves fast
This time of year a hat of some sort is always in use

Self cut w clippers. Wife cleans it up when needed which is not often.

I bought one of those Wahl hair trimmer kits about 30 years ago and I never looked back. I do a no. 2 guard on the sides, no. 3 on the transition area and then I free hand it on top... all with my eyes closed.
I haven't paid for a haircut since my wedding in 1993.
Remember, the difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is only about 2 weeks.

Yeah ... I've fallen back on that old adage more than once ...
FWIW, I've had my Wahl since around 1972 and it's still going strong. I still have all the pieces to the kit, too.
No surprise that bitogers cut their own hair...
Self cutting my hair since the pandemic.
Haircuts here are about $20-30 with tip. Plus the drive time and wait. I look at it with the same self-reliance philosophy as an oil change. Takes me actually less time to do my own OCI and own haircut, as the time it takes to go and pay someone else.
A small change in life, doing my own haircuts and oil changes, saves me probably a mortgage payment every few years. That's not a small amount of money for what is a trivial inconvenience.
Long ago I dated a hair stylist, and she's actually nationally renown now. Anyway, the money women waste on hair styling is staggering. It's nothing for a woman to go blow $500 on a hair day.

Being work at home and not having much of a social life makes it easier to take the risk of a bad cut.
My wife buzzes my eyebrows with Wahl clippers.
Since I meet with clients I need a quality hair cut and she’s not qualified.
$40 with $10 tip included.
I think it was $25 at my old place and that included a shampoo. Since it's gotten balder, I switched to clipping it myself. I was shaving my head a for a couple years but got tired of doing it when I bought some better clippers. Was at the barber a month ago hoping to get a full shave head and beard but I'd never been to this barbershop before and they're not set up for wet shaving. So, just a baldy with clipper and a lame beard clean up was $25 with a senior discount.
The only reason that I went to the barber is because my FiL needed a haircut. He didn't want to go because my MiL couldn't get her haircut due to medical reasons. Well, she could have but didn't want to. She can be a little stubborn. I knew he wanted to go but didn't want to ask me to take him so I told the family that I wanted to go to the barbershop and asked if he wanted to join me. He can move pretty fast when he wants to. LOL.
