I wish I still live near that place! (There's a different school near where I currently live, but, while the haircut turned out fine, they were so unprofessional in how they operated, I decided the cheaper price wasn't worth it.) I would love to be able to cut my own hair. But I don't think I'll even be able to cut the sides straight, let alone the back. I do trim my bangs between regular cuts, though. |

I've cut my own hair now for about ten years. It usually takes me an hour or more. It's not that I'm too cheap to pay for a cut, it's that I usually want a cut at 10:00 PM ... and I want it NOW!!!

I don't like to pay a lot for my hair either. I recently was going to Supercuts for about 2-3 years and was perfectly happy--the haircuts were only $12 (cheaper with coupons), and it was quick. But there is a turnover in stylists, and several that I liked left, so I got frustrated with changing. This past year, I started going to a new salon that I like a lot. They charge a range of prices depending on who you see--the stylist I see is $25, there are some who are $30, $35, $49...all the way up to the owner, who is $59. (I actually lucked out and had the owner cut my hair for $25 today b/c my regular stylist had to cancel.)

I was in shock and furious. I had to fly out for some consulting work the next day, and my haircut was impossibly freakish. I did a quick google search for salons, and the closest was a Supercuts. I called them and told them I had just gotten a horrible haircut and needed someone to fix it. The woman on the line said, 'Come on down. I'll see what I can do, and if you hate it, it's free.' She became my stylist until I retired and moved. She was also the manager. When I moved out here in the middle of nowhere, I knew I would stop coloring my hair, so I did another google search and found a Great Clips fairly close. I'm in love with my stylist. She gave me such a great cut while my color grew out that I didn't bother trying to hide the weird two-tone. I took in some pictures of Ellen Burstyn, and now I have this The haircut is 12 dollars. I always give her a 5$ bill and add 3$ to the tip line because she gives me a better haircut than that exclusive Tucson stylist who charged 10Xs as much as Great Clips. |

Thank you to those who recommended the creaclip--looks like a must-have tool for self-cuts, especially for medium-length or long hair. I'll most likely let my hair grow again, but for now, I'm enjoying the wind on my bare neck for the first time in 40+ years. Demeris, that Ellen Burstyn cut is stunning! (So is Ellen.) I'll check if there are Great Clips salons in Seattle--and what their rates are here. |
