Anybody on here do this? I usually just get a buzz cut anyway so seems pointless spending £8 a pop on a basic haircut every month or so.

Anybody recommend any clippers/techniques etc.

I done it for years. Just went over myself normally then got someone to tidy round the edges for me.

If it's all one length you can't really go wrong.

I recently started doing it.

Had a major fuck up first time and cut back of my head to 0.5mm, so had no choice but to do it all. Just make sure if you clean the clippers, if is adjustable like mine, make sure you put it back to setting you want.

Who pays more than a tenner for a haircut

Paying close to a tenner is bad enough

I have been cutting my own hair for 20 years.

0.5/1 all over, cut mine once every 3 weeks.

I do go to a barbers once a year to get it cut just for a change.

I do it to save time queuing up on a Saturday morning
To avoid idle chit chat about shit to eachother
It's also a bonus that it saves money.

First two reasons are enough

I keep meaning to give it a go myself. I go the barbers every fortnight and it's just a ballache.

I have a chavvy 0 back and sides and trim on top, is there any way you can blend it in yourself lol?

You couldn't be any more wrong.

I go to a place called de'milia who charge 15 quid, cut by an italian man called Antonio who has fantastic hair. Usually give the guy a quid or 2 also.

why would I cut my own hair?

30 minutes is around the same hourly rate, my barber is obviously just faster than yours

All other same number, that's what people are talking about here. Not Harry styles.
