Cheap Barber

I’ve been cutting my own hair for over a year now. I started doing it myself mostly because I was never getting the haircut I wanted from the cheap barbers I’d go it. The thing they do is cut it the perfect length in the first pass, but then make another pass and cut it a little shorter. And then a little shorter. And then a little shorter. And before I knew it I looked like I’ve just enlisted.

I tried everything to get them to do it right, using the correct lingo, or, embarrassingly, showing them pics of what I wanted, but they never seemed to get it the way I thought was possible.

Welp, after today’s carnage, I’m pretty much an official cheap barber, and the Army should be contacting me shortly:

A bright spot in that pile: It still looks fairly dark & not yet all grey!
