Would you rather cut your own hair or....

Neither. I'd rather have my husband cut it for me. I haven't gone to the salon in years, but when I did the ones that cut my hair weren't blindfolded, thank goodness. LOL They always did a good job. Though then again I rarely ever went there just to get my hair cut. Before I got married my mom was usually the one that cut my hair for me, though she'd always do it her way, so I'd usually wind up with shoulder length hair, even though I just wanted a trim. I've also cut my own hair before (some years ago), and well, it didn't turn out so great. LOL Okay, so I did get the hang of cutting my own bangs (after a rather disastrous mistake the first time around), but trying to cut the rest of my hair is rather difficult to do, so I'd rather have my hubby do it for me. He does a pretty good job too, and heck, best of all it's free, so I can't complain. LOL Happy mylotting and Happy New Year!

It's a really interesting and hard question. I know, that in that case I would have advantage, because I will have ability to see. But on the other hand, I won't be seeing the back of my head anyway, and I would have to use the mirror, which can confuse me (the picture you see is reversed and this creates a conflict between your own senses and the sight in the mirror). I know that professionals are good at "feeling" the length of hair on both sides of the head, I mean, they take hair from both sides and equal positions and stretch them to see, whether they are of equal length or not. I don't know, whether you did get the point of what I wanted to say, but I think that blindfolded professional would handle this task better, because they can feel the length and form of hair even without having visual on it.

Years ago the hair dresser that cut my hair, may well have been blind folded as the hair cut that she gave me was awful, my hair at the back was not straight neither was my so called fringe.I tend to trim my own hair every now and again and i think that it is ok, however i do not cut it as short as what i would let the hair dresser cut it.

well... its a good question.actuchally im kinda xeperimental person n i got inspiration from so many scientist(told by teachers in primary grad school).honestly speaking its a quite difficult with boys but i can manage after couple of practice but i couldnt cut it fully.its partially from near forehead and round to ears nothing more.and its a money saving idea also i accept that.any ways more important is what,a self dependency.....

i would try to cut my hair on my own rather giving it to a blinfolded professional.because when the injury is caused own is less painfull than the others.because i cut my finger,leg in childhood and still but i dint feel pain or felt less pain than when i was hurt by the others. i will never let him to hurt me,rather i will hurt myself if i have to.and also in the head,the most sensitive area.never.

There are two reasons way i would cut my own hair. No. 1, its inexpensive actually its free but ok. No.2, When you in a rush, you can do it yourself as oppose to the barber when you have to wait in line for the others to finish their haircut.

It depends really. If he's a professional who's been cutting hair for a long time blindfolded and yields great results then why not? Better if it comes for free. However, if it's his first time to do so, I'd rather cut my own hair. But still, I would just rather let it grow longer than cut it on my own, or perhaps just save up to have a decent haircut.

I think that i would leave my hair to grow, rather than either of those choices.I think that with my hair being so long that sometimes when i have had it cut, noone seems to notice anyway,lol.I have a friend who is a hair dresser that comes to cut mine, so i save alot of money there.

well it might not be a bad idea. do proper research before you cut your hairs,like about hair cutting. i cut my bangs myself. never tried the whole cutting. But remember, cut your hairs wet(to avoid split ends) and wet hairs look longer than real length (so to avoid cutting them more than you need).

For me I would go to the parlor so that I feel good about it.

Hello, i would never cut my own hair again I laugh because i got memories from my childhood, when i was cutting my hair before every birthday i had And the result was always tragic so i don't think to do it again. I know it was because i was kid, but even now i don't find it as good idea, but hairstyling is not my passion at all I love to care for my own hair, with masks, products and stuff, but not to cut it, because i don't have that sense that cutting will be successful. There are people, who don't see with their eyes, but are sensitive. They have great smell, taste and senses about many stuff. Because they are blindfold they can't see, but everything else with their senses is much more developed than it is on people who can see. I don't know, if i have to be honest. May be i wouldn't cut my hair, but i wouldn't give it to someone, who doesn't see what is doing. Or if the person got experience in hairstyling and if the person feels and imagine the hair and specially if the person is good oriented around the result has to be successful.

I would not do that to myself. I'd rather go to my neighborhood parlor hair professional which charges a small fee than do it myself. First of all I am not qualified to do haircutting unless it is just on my own hair bangs. They also know how to trim my eyebrows as well.

i don't try it before i travel to study abroad When I went to the barber abroad for the first time I know the value of the barber in my country and how he does a good job From then decided to shave at home For the first time I know that tough, especially shaving and I try shaving my hair from behind And then I felt like I was handicapped in his movement heheh But with the rest of the students in the house we have decided to shave each other hair especailly the last area behind the head. We've provided a lot of financial aid in this way and have more stylish haircut :) have a nice day asyria51

I would try cutting my hair on my own. If the person who will cut my hair is blindfolded, I think that he can cut other parts of my head and seriously injure me. Cutting hair on my own may not be a great idea, but trying on your own will let you learn. You maybe a professional hair cutter someday if you learn how to cut your own hair.

I am not good at cutting my own hair. there are some people that are., my teen daughter is very good at it. In fact, she has cut my hair for mr. I am one ot thoser people who needs to have someone else do it for me.

For em not to cut in my owned hair I don't know it it is better for me to not cut it I wait and go in the parlor so that i feel good about my hair.

Many hair cutting professionals cut as if they were already blindfolded, and that's the reason why I haven't gone to a hairsalon in years. Hairdressers always ignore any customer's request, cutting however they please, and the results are mostly bad, so that's why I learned to cut my hair by myself, and the results are way better than when I have to pay. I would recommend to anyone to learn to cut his/her own hair, that way you don't have to pay for getting your hair way shorter when you only asked "just cut the tips a little".

Actually I would rather cut my own here even if the professional was not blind folded because my hair never comes out the way i would like it too when I go get it cut. It was hard growing out my hair to get it too be long like before because they messed up bad on my hair and that's why i will take my chances and do it myself because I know exactly how I want it. Still though I will never forget how they cut my hair and it was embarassing too because I bet a lot of people were thinking woah what did they do to that girls hair because I used to have such pretty hair it has been a while and my hair has recovered already. Still it hasn't grown long like it was before that was just the worst mistake I made going there and I don't think that I will ever go get my hair cut again. Instead I just watch videos and how to cut my hair certain ways and I personally do my hair how I want it so it all worked out.

If I am in such situation, I would prefer not to cut my hair. If you are saying about trimming of the hair, then I might do it. But if it is cutting, then I rather leave it to the professional.
