I have been cutting my husband's hair for 12 years now. It all started because my husband wasn't happy paying for a hair cut only (No. 2 with the clippers) only to go home and find the hairdresser had missed a bit. So he bought some clippers and I started doing it for him. Just over a week ago my 2 year old son was watching me cut hubby's hair and asked me to do his too. Seeing that he is now refusing to let the hairdresser near him with a pair of scissors, I obliged. At first I was nervous, holding electric clippers anywhere near his head, especially around his ears. However, he sat on hubby's lap and sat very still. I was relieved at the end as it now meant a saving in how much hairdressing bills cost us each month. Brendon's haircuts were costing me about $19 each 4 or 5 weeks. By cutting both hubby and son's hair, we are saving about $450 per year. That is quite a significant saving. (Think of what you could do for the same money!).
If you are considering doing hair cuts at home, here are some pointers. Buy a good quality pair of clippers and hairdressing scissors (if you are going to use clippers) from your hairdresser. Don't bother buying cheap ones from large electrical suppliers, in my experience they last one hair cut before they die. We paid about $100 for our clippers and No. 2 comb about 7 or 8 years ago, and they are still going strong.
The Workers Education Association also run home haircutting courses, which I might enrol in next time it is on.
Sweep up the hair that you have cut off and put it in your compost bin.
