I haven't paid for a haircut since 2001. Anyone else?

I haven't paid for a haircut since 1996 and I also haven't owned a comb in that time.

I've never owned a comb ever b/c I'm not the Fonz.

I started using a buzzer without any of the attachments (I think this is referred to as "0" setting) in 2000, when I started thinning on the top. Just wanted to get it over with after doing the baseball cap thing for about 8 months.

By around 2003 I gave up on the buzzer and started shaving it in the shower every 2 days. Been that way ever since.

I cut my hair twice a year. 8 bucks at Great Clips if you can get a coupon.

Girls have it so much easier than guys as far as haircuts go. A bad haircut barely looks any different from a good cut on medium or long hair.

Yes that's a "0". I used that blade too but more when I was single. My g/f would prefer the "2" blade but it grows back too fast, so I use a 1.

good move. You have saved mega dollars which would have been wasted.

The buzz cut at Famous Hair here used to be $7 not long ago. About 3 years ago I believe.

Today the buzz cut at Famous Hair is $14.25.

I had no choice so I had my hair buzz cut. It took about 3 minutes.

I felt ripped-off.

not certain why the massive price jump in 3 years.

I have a full head of hair, and want to look like an adult, so spend money about once a month to let a professional cut my hair.

Not so fast. Most guys don't have medium or long hair.

Women struggle more with hair style than cut and they are their second worst enemy when choosing a style.

I have paid for four hair cuts in my life and three of them earlier this year.

The other time was before my wedding.

I don't usually buzz my hair, but sometimes.

I cut my hair guiding clippers over a comb on top and a 2 guard on the sides and back most often.

It was nice having professional haircuts for a bit but it's a hassle to make time for it and it's not much better.

When I get hookers, I only get crack hookers.

I save a ton of money that way.

I made it from 18-39 yrs old

I made it 1998-2015 ...now I get it cut

I haven't paid for a haircut for at least the last 50 years.

I use scissors, and my fingers for spacing.

I used clippers for a short time but much prefer using scissors.

One word: Flowbee

Nobody touches my hair but me. Clips it every three months almost at 0. Then let it grow for three months. Seems so stupid to me to waste money on a barber.

Haha. Sound like me although I usually clip it once every 6 weeks. I agree. Waste of $ to me. I'm glad some people don't see it that way.

My g/f cuts hair at SportClips and she'd have no customers if we all felt this way.

Lol, if my wife or friends saw this thread, they’d probably think I created it.

1985 was the last time I went anywhere, paid to get my hair cut.

I make $190k/yr but cut my whole family's hair including wife & daughter. I'm good at it and we actually save time over having to drive to a barber/stylist.

I also change my own oil and do my own home improvement.
