I use to cut my kids hair. My FIL cut my DH's hair while I watched. I wanted to be a barber in my younger life, but that was unheard of then. When my FIL passed away my DH went to a barber, and when he came home I told him it didn't look like he had gotten even a trim. He said maybe that's why the barber told him to come back in a couple of weeks. Needless to say I started cutting his hair. The only difference between a good haircut and a bad one is 3 days. LOL Now my DH doesn't have to worry about that , he can wash his face, and his head. BALD.

I've been cutting hair since I was 15 YOA. My mother was a beautician and didn't want to pay anyone to cut her hair. So she taught me how to cut hair, I cut her hair for many years. I also cut my 2 sons hair until they got married and then their spouses cut their hair. I still cut my husbands hair, and a few friends - I have saved them a lot of money, and they love the way I cut their hair.

Along the lines of cleaning up after the do it your self folks... My husband is a handyman and I always have answered most of the phone calls. One time a lady called up and said she REALLY wanted to make her husband call but he was too embarrassed. Well it seems their sky light had a leak. So the man fixed it himself. With duct tape. The duct tape failed.

I have cut DH's hair for over 40 years now. I also used to cut my son's hair up until he was a junior or senior in high school. I remember the first time he went to a barber to have his hair cut. I did not know he was going. I was sitting in the high school auditorium, and he walked out on stage to play in the band concert and I saw that he had his hair cut by someone else. Not me! I just about cried right there! The school principal and his wife were sitting with me, or I probably would have cried.
Son went to a barber after that for a couple years. Then he started cutting his own hair.
I cut my own hair most of the time also.
It sure does save a LOT of money over the years!

I cut the kids hair when they were young. Now, they do it themselves! DH has gone to the same sytlist for almost 20 years, and I cut my own hair all the time. When the boys were in high school "frosting/tipping" hair was really "popular" but so expensive. I used to buy one box of blonde dye for $5.00, my sons would have their friends come over, and I'd "tip" their hair for free....I could do 4-6 guys with one box!! My SIL was a hairdresser so she's give me extra bonnets to use!!
