How often do you go to the hairdresser?

It has be over 25 years since I visited a Barber.
I have curly hair so giving myself an all over “Number 1” is simple
Buy my own clippers for AU$15 originally. Replaced twice, last pair costing AU$29.
Have saved many hundreds of dollars “Doing it Myself”

Same here except for longer ,I bought the clippers when my youngest son was born, he’s 36 now.

For most of my life I had a trim every 6-8 weeks. The virus and lockdown changed that. For good.

I trim the fringe and a bit around the ears myself, visit the hairdresser once every 6 months.

My wife still does mine but it’s getting more difficult for her these days, so about every 5 weeks when my hair is really long. It used to be every 3 weeks.

I’m generally happier with my hair fairly longish, which goes back to my school days. It is beginning to flick in my eyes on windy days now, so am thinking about getting it cut . . . or just wear a beany as weather is not too warm at the moment.

I did trim it myself during lockdown, but there were complaints about hair in the bathroom, so am happy to leave it to the professionals maybe every three months or so. There are plenty of barbers/hairdressers around here, so no excuses!

Probably about 35 years for me. I have been cutting my own hair for decades. I thought it was a pretty easy thing to do until I asked someone to help me once. I thought they were going to pass out. I had to fix it after that. My hair is wavy enough to hide any stray cuts.

I also learned not to tell people that I cut my own hair. If people notice my hair is shorter, they say, oh, you got your hair cut. If I add that I cut it, they always feel the need to inspect it. They always say I did a great job, but if I don’t say anything, they just assume someone else did a great job. Makes no sense, so I don’t mention it anymore.

Not since a schoolboy.The barber had old magazines and comics to read while you waited.I used to let others go before me and spent ages reading through them.

Yes the barber I used to visit had a selection of a certain type of old magazines for customers to thumb through.
It was very much a gentleman’s establishment.

Maximum three haircuts a year.
My new barber gives the best haircuts I’ve ever had!
Will be at least six months before I start thinking about another one!

Once a year, A bit unusual for a female I know. I get a few inches chopped off and unless I’m going to somewhere special like a Wedding when she puts my hair up in some fabulous styles that I can’t do, then that’s it. :smirk: I think that ladies with short hair seem to need more doing to it, always in for a trim, a dye job, a restyle ect ect. My hair is usually either in a plait over my shoulder or up in a claw clip on top of my head. I do leave it loose sometimes but not very often.

My Dad used to accompany me to the barbers to oversee the event…
The barber would ask me “How would you like it cutting?” Dad would interrupt with “He’ll have short back and sides”…
:flushed:
Now it’s Mrs Fox who intervenes…One day I’ll have my hair the way that I want it, but by that time I might not have a choice…

I spent nearly a year in Taiwan. I went to the ladies hairs hairdressers which was interesting/unusual - that all had black hair and they’d never seen my ginger stuff.

Never, I hate it worse than going to the dentist :scream:

My hair is long, below my waist

And I just trim it using the ponytail method

And the fringe by the twist method

I used to colour it myself, it took two boxes of dye

But I let it go grey during Covid and I love it, long grey hair is quite dramatic :rofl:
