Covid Hair Cut - Amateur / trimming cutting own hair

Should I stay or should I go ?

So lads you have bought the trimmer and now decision time ....

Leave as is and look like a bear

or

ask someone to cut it who hasn’t got a clue and risk having to stay indoors until
Barber shops open again?

Does a # 3 all round with no gradient look better than letting it just grow ?

Or worse cut it yourself with your new trimmer

I got herself to give me a mohawk 3 weeks ago, always wanted one but finally got to try it out without fear of having to go in to work with it

I've cut my own hair since I was about 15 when I just rarely got haircuts. Cannot stand someone else doing it because of sensory issues. It's easy enough to do a short haircut with a trimmer. Not as difficult as you'd think to do a less simple style, if you spend a bit of time doing it carefully and are prepared to fall back to a trimmer all over cut in the event of a **** up.

Worst possible effect of a number 2 all over is you look like eagle eyes action man with flock hair & Kung fu grip (could be useful).

Personally I’m growing mine out right now. I was about three weeks overdue a cut when everything closed and my hair grows really fast. Usually have to get done monthly, now three months in & can no longer style it the way I like it as too long.

Also haven’t shaved in five weeks so going all lumberjack.

Im pondering giving myself a 3 or 4 all over. My hair is currently longer than its ever been in my entire life and is really starting to annoy me. Even if it looks a state Im going to be working from home for at least another 6 weeks so it will be well grown back before i have to face the public.

Bought a trimmer and got herself to cut it.
Last night was the second cut of the lockdown. Very happy.

I think if herself is happy to keep doing it I’ll not be going back to the barber at all.

I think the barbershops are saying “don’t risk it” and “your safer letting it grow” are really just afraid people will realise just how easy it is to do simple cuts at home and know they will loose business.

Simple cuts are easy. I was a #2 all over guy for years.
If you want anything more complicated though a trained expert is a safer bet.
