      @@dcfolyffe882 Smart! The funny thing, just as he mentions in the video, you do start to get a feel for the awkward positions - like clipping the back of your neck. Its weird the first few times. Just cut my hair 3 days ago again. I have a routine now where I grab newspapers and drape them over the sink in the bathroom to speed up the clean up. The key part is blending the clipped sides and back with the top cut part. Small cuts/trim is a smart way to go at first. 👍

    Best tutorial ever! For people who want to try this but are scared of messing up. This is what worked for me : Go to your barber first, get a good haircut. After that use the tips in this video to touch up your already good hair cut every few days. It makes it A LOT easier and less scary, and after a while you'll get the hang of it and it gets much easier. I'm rocking the same haircut I walked out the barbershop with 3 months ago.

    GREAT video! I’m an older guy (63) and started cutting my own hair over 30 years ago. All my friends thought I was nuts even giving it a try. I used the same method you use but at first I didn’t use the progressively smaller guards - I think I just used a 5 and then trimmed around my ears and lower back. It took me a few months to feel comfortable, and eventually stopped using the mirror when doing the back. You are so right about getting the feel for doing this. It becomes very comfortable just like you said. Cutting your own hair not only saves you money, but a lot of time as well! And you can tidy up anytime. I’ve tried to get my son to do it but he won’t even give it a try. By the dude, you got some great hair there!

    This is the best beginners' hair cutting tutorial on YT, and I've been through hundreds. He starts with a #4 straight up to blend the top, which anyone can do, and then slowly transitions down to a #1. My barber does the same. It is hard to mess up #2-4 since no skin is visible, just be careful with the smaller guards. Most other tutorials here have you starting from a bald line and working up, or playing with the taper lever 4-5 times during the fade (half way open, 3/4 open, etc.), or something else ridiculous.

    Once you can do it yourself, your standards regarding your own hairstyle/grooming rise. I used to think it was normal to have the back shaped only when I get a haircut every 2 months. But now, I do it myself quite often, with the 'new' look available all the time. The standards have risen.

I figure I've saved at least $15,000.00 in today's dollars (figuring on a haircut every 3 weeks). I began cutting my own hair because I usually had to trim up a bit after getting a haircut. Finally, I said, "Why am I paying somebody to cut my hair when I have to cut it afterwards anyway." So, I haven't visited a barber since the early 1980s.

      Don’t fool us here 😂. From your profile pic, it seems you never had any haircuts all your life 😂

    After tip, my last simple haircut cost $34! Thanks to inflation! My next haircut will be done by myself. If I screw it up, I’ll just buzz my head and wear a hat for two weeks and try again!

    This video has saved me hundreds of dollars from the barber during COVID. Ever since I learned this, I haven’t gone to the barber shop for more than 2 years!! Thanks !!

    Looks great. Been cutting my own hair since covid and it has looked ok. You added the details I was missing. Well explained and shown. Great job!
