I was about to cut my hair, as I do about once/month or so, and figured I'd share some of my techniques. Cutting my own hair for roughly the last 10 years now has saved me time, lots of time, money, lots of money, and is way more custom. I have run into issues of bald patches here and there, but it's always fixable for the most part.

    lol... This was really funny Glenn.

    It's true too, though. I've been cutting my own hair for about 6 years and it is a big time money saver once you get the hang of it!

    you know what i'm finding? i'm finding this: i actually watch this video because of the audio. i cut it out/stop it halfway because what i like to hear is early on - by Ratatat - the first song is called Mirando. Soo many applications! Ratatat is bad 'a' fun stuff. Feel free to bust me Ratatat. Sue me with edit/camera work. Suckas! But that's not the point.

    LOL! Funny video! Hippie. Wait, wut- if you were a real HIPPIE you'd not even cut it ever; you'd just let it grow and keep it in a ponytail in the back.

    I actually just stopped cutting my own hair. The ladies at the salon have that oh so special combination of dumb and hot.

    Prepare for flood from the TF interview.

    I watched your video this afternoon and thought, "hey, why not". Didn't quite turn out the way I hoped it would. I looks decent from the front. Perhaps even better than it did when it was long. But people tell me I have noticeable clumps missing from the back. Guess all that's left to do is wait for it to grow out and try again...

    haha, yeah the back was pretty crappy! haha, but the front and sides looked good.

    I've been cutting my own hair since I was about 15. Really helps to have two mirrors.

    I definitely think paying for haircuts is silly. Sometimes friends/family get so fed up with my long hair that they pay for me to get a hair cut.

    I've been cutting my own hair for yonks though.
