I've cut my hair at home 2x now and I cut my son's hair 2x as well.

Saved us about $100 so far.

Not sure I'm going back. There's no line at home. About once out of every 4 times I go get a haircut I'd end up disappointed anyway, and I paid somebody to screw up a really easy/basic cut.

My hair was always pretty short... I usually asked for a #2 (1/4") on the back and sides with a #4 (1/2") on the top, and then the front a little longer. A #5/#6 or cut with scissors.

The first time I cut my own hair I got my wife to do the longer hair in front part and touch it up. 2nd time I didn't bother and just used the #4 for the whole front. I was about to do about 99% of the cut myself and she just cleaned up the edges in the back.

You do have to clean up the mess yourself, that's the only thing.

Long hair is super incompatible with cycling IMO. This latest hair cut was basically I went for a ride, long hair was unbearable as the weather had started to heat up. Got home and immediately got out the trimmer.
