I cut my fringe and I usually bribe my son to trim the back.

I am growing the back but when its long enough i'm going to invest in one of these.

Hope I'm not too late - you might want to look at this:

My son's pretty hippy (except they call it "surfer dude" now) so I just take an inch off his fringe when I can no longer see his eyes. I do mine the same, just a bit off when I can't see out very well. DH never has his done.

Doesn't save us a fortune because we'd all be going for the cheapest place possible, as few times a year as we could get away with, but it does save us some.

Mrs. Bob the Saver has cut my hair for years and I cut hers. She sometimes goes to a poncy expensive 'Salon' where some moronic 18 year old who's 'done a course' hacks at it but always ends up asking me to sort it out for her. £10 quid on scissors and common sense sorts it. We both used to have our hair cut in India once a year (60p each) but now don't even bother with that. It's not rocket science, just look in any 'salon' - no rocket scientists in any of them.
(I still ask her if she's booked her holidays yet though and insist she calls me Tracey - but that's a different story).
Nobody has yet commented on our hair, and knowing our 'friends' they would if they could.

Such a disrespectful comment. You're devaluing an entire industry, one in which it takes a lot of time and skill to qualify in.

OH pays £5 each for him and eldest son's haircuts and £4 for our youngest. This is a small independent salon.

I pay £20 for mine, probably don't get it done as often as I should.

I disagree with the poster a few posts up. I can tell a trainee or newly qualified hairdresser a mile off. My hair type takes experience and practice to cut properly. If it's done wrong then it's a nightmare, for me and the hairdresser. It's a skill like any other. Badly cut or dyed hair can be spotted a mile off, most people are too polite to say anything.

I have always cut my sons (two of them) hair. After seeing my older sons father coming out of a barbers several times looking like he's been attacked by a hedge trimmer, I felt I could do a much better job. He agreed ha ha.

However, I will admit that because my hair is a bit of a pain and needs layers.., I go to a hair dressers to have mine done and have kttens every time convinced its going to be a disaster. More skills than mine are required to make it look good.

But I think, with practice anyone can do a basic trim of hair if care is taken. I certainly don't have my sons looking like a bowl has been stuck on their head.

So far, the only one in the house who needs a professional cut is my husband. The lads enjoy having their hair shorn by dad with the clippers & my hair is long enough for me to trim it (although I delegate sometimes!)
Whenever the lads get interested in whizzy haircuts, they tease each other out of the idea within minutes. (Eldest 14, not sure how long this can last!)

I'm so tight that I've decided to go bald to save on £££
