I need a cut...bad. Thin on top (like my Dad's at my age) and thick everywhere else (like (Grandpa's).
Plus it's white, resulting in "crazy old man hair" as soon as it dries. I'd let it grow and just tie it back like I wore it in the 70's, but not a good look when the top's so thin...

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.

2) since I am shaving my whole head to 0000 I just bend over a sheet of newspaper and buzz away. shake the paper into the trash an recycle the paper. I guess this works since we still enjoy the reading of a physical paper. 3) these days plenty of people are early white haired, receding or thinning. so none of that implies age but for me keeping it all really short just looks more even.

The whole thing with the line... it costs me about $30 after tip to get my hair cut at the "cheap" places around here that don't do appointments.
It's $40-50 after tip to get into a place that has appointments. It's a little nuts for a buzz cut, and again, the $30 type places have tremendous turnover and about 1/4 haircuts it gets subtly screwed up. For $40-50 it's not getting screwed up and likely no long wait but again, $40-50 for a haircut that is barely more than a buzz? The $30 places have a horrible thing where they do call ahead. But they will quote you 45 minutes on the phone, you walk in after 40 and they say it'll be another 30-45 minutes. The more the place targets men the better it is.. far fewer men are getting dye jobs and perms and such that tie up a chair for an hour+. But obviously none of that matters at all if it turns out I can get pretty decent at cutting it myself.

In addition to not having as much on top as I used to, it seems what's left doesn't grow as fast as it did BITD. I'm looking seriously shaggy over the ears, but I still don't have enough for a pandemic ponytail. I thought I might by now. I guess my last haircut was too close to the start of the shutdown.

My 29 YO son hasn't seen a barber in a couple of months now, and I think he's going to try the self serve soon...he's tired of wearing caps on zoom calls...
