Its like electricians and vets though innit
They know everyone needs them, and cant do the job themselves, so they basically have a licence to print money |

Like a car mechanic once said to me .... If I charge £50 to adjust one screw that will fix the problem with your car, then it's only £1 to adjust the screw and £49 for knowing which screw to adjust |

Thats a fair point
But you cant deny that some tradesmen charge extortionate prices
Just look at vets, as an example. |

We used to do each others hair on the way home on the school bus with a comb with razor blades attached to it. Feather cuts were all the rage, god knows what we looked like and what the bus cleaners used to think.  |

Mr N does his with clippers very successfully. I do the back. We lent my dad an old set of clippers during last lockdown. It all went well until my mum said she thought he should take the no 8 guard off  .
Hats are de rigeur you know |

And then there’s the banal conversation to sit through, though 5 minutes of it is probably tolerable! |

I pay about £50 each visit for a trim and root touch up, I'm more than happy to pay it and don't mind spending a couple of hours chatting to the stylists and other clients. I know some salons charge a lot more. |

I've cut my hair twice in the last year. My hairdresser wasn't impressed when I told her I was going to do it but needs must. Luckily it's quite curly so if it's not straight, it doesn't show
My son had the clippers put over his by his dad because it was such a state, he came back with no hair |

I gave myself a "trim" 2 weeks ago now. Took about 6 inches off. I still need to see an actual hairdresser tho as it's been 3 years.
I was in the cupboard under the stairs a couple of days ago, saw the dog clippers and was SOOOOOOO tempted to give myself a shave down the one side. |

I gave my partner a lockdown haircut last week when he asked if I would.
Though no formal training I have cut hair for some male family members in the past.
I have a decent pair of hairdressers scissors, patience, a steady hand & confidence not to make a hash up of it.
Both of us were pretty pleased with the results too! 
My lockdown hairdressing skills may need to be brought out again soon for my Mum and Dad! They will not be happy to wait much longer to get the chop I am sure! |

I’ve trimmed my ends. Only a slight trim. My kids won’t let me touch theirs 
I don’t colour my hair but I did attempt two blonde streaks at the front but they turned ginger so I’m just embracing that. |

First DIY cut during first lockdown was ok. Second and third cuts, not so. Waiting until Monday for word of when barbers might reopen before I do further violence to my hair! |
