As someone who has shaved their head and not paid a barber for 20 years, not a penny.

    Another one that wants to scan my face...... You couldn't pay me to scan my face. You would have to force it like governments do. Go to a barber shop

    Not your face, just where your hair is. I think for all intents and purposes you could wear a full facemask as long as it doesn't obstruct your hairline for this

    I started cutting my own hair decades ago, and tapering is probably the first and easiest thing I learned. Blending different lengths on longer hair is much more of a challenge IME. That and specialised styles I guess, which I never really bothered with.

    TBF I'd rather pay a person to do it.

    Also, I'm confident a person isn't going to randomly go psychotic and remove an ear.

    ... You know a haircut costs 1.5 cheeseburgers (ish) right? I'll take a human who isn't going to hallucinate and randomly remove my face thanks.

    It's not AI, it's 3d scanning that has been done since the 60s

    I'm probably just going to go back to shaving my head. I have no trouble growing hair, but can't really be bothered. My wife doesn't care either way which is probably the thing I most care about

    If it did a good reliable job, 200€-400€ I'd rather just go to the bathroom, put something on, and wait for a short while, and then have a good haircut. Going to a barber and planning etc is a lot more work

    Rightt??? It's not about skipping the human interaction for me, it's just so much more convenient. Could throw on this helmet while brushing my teeth and get a fresh trim every morning.

    For me its about skipping mostly transactional human interactions. Like most efficiency gains for me, I get more time with those I want to spend time with, and hobbies.

    It is important to note that I am not a typical person in this regard, I spend a lot of time and effort to remove friction (save time) day to day.

    If no face scanning, and it was quick/convenient maybe £5 otherwise I'll stick to humans

    Do you mean £5 per cut or £5 for the machine? Because I mean if it were a product available at a store and you could get a quick decent buzz whenever you want

    I'm bald on top anyway I'm just going to keep shaving for free

    Zero dollars.

    Now if it could give me a perfect shave around my downstairs bits, then I'd be willing to shell out $200 or $300.
