Its lockdown time and no salons are open. my sons were walking around with shaggy hair and the first request came from one for a hair cut, Two youtube videos were enough to get me going. I cut my older son's hair soon enough requests came from my younger son and husband. Now my neighbor has been throwing hints around. Well I am clearly not interested but there are opportunities all around. A friend of mine who has lost her job made face masks for herself and her daughter and now she is so busy selling face homemade masks that she has no time to for anything else. There are opportunities all around, we need to look around and find something that suits us. This is a picture of my son's head after the haircut LOL

That is so true. My neighbor has been whining about how his hair is annoying him.

@Jessicalynnt I cannot stand for long, I have some serious back problems. But I do take food for my son's team every weekend.

@sofssu maybe you should do some cutting, could even charge and pick a charity or use the money to send food to some nurses or something

Wow, you did an amazing job! I used to cut my ex-husband's hair and I did a good job but it took me an hour or more

My husband took me about 40 minutes, my older son's cut 50 and my younger son's cut took me more than an hour. His hair is thick and curly.

@sofssu I can see how thick and curly would take more time.

Well done. It looks good. You reminded me that I have to cut the hair of my husband. His hairdresser is close.

@sofssu That is great. I do not cut my own hair. I know I would make a mess of it. That is great what happened to you and your friend. The haircut looks good.

Wow! You learn fast! Well, all mothers can do anything for their family, and that is for sure. My Mom learned to do hair cut for my father too haha. And it is so sweet to watch them together that my mom is giving an extra effort and my dad is giving her extra trust. Hahahha Happy MOTHERS' Day.

Nah, Its okay to do my son's hair as an emergency service but not as a profession. It could come in handy some day

I am not sure if my boys would go there even if they are opened for some time now.
