I can't see shit without my glasses. The person in the mirror getting their haircut is just a flesh colored blob.
When they finish up and I put my glasses back on, it's a surprise every time.

I started doing my own haircuts during the pandemic and I’ve probably saved thousands of bucks since then. And even then, I still don’t speak up until afterwards. You know when you’re halfway through it and you can see it’s not looking good but you power through it anyway because then you’ll end up with an even worse mess if you stop midway.
I just start making the same noises I make at the dentist when something isn’t right. There’s nothing in my mouth at the barber but the sounds are important. Words? No thank you.
They know better than me anyway. That’s why I hired them instead of doing it myself.
I thought so too, and it was true until my last cut which was so bad I teared up as soon as I left the salon. Cut my bangs to about an inch and the rest was long, so they just went straight out. The person was newer and I should have called it out, but they just kept cutting thinking they could fix it. They couldn't.
I used to go to a hair cut every 3ish months. The last 3 hair cuts I got went along like Them: what do you want? Me: 3 on the top, 7 on the side* Them: What? Me: Sure
Its been 2 years since my last hair cut.(*I may have forgot the numbers by now) Tell my friends and family I'm trying something new. I'm just too lazy/annoyed to go back in the chair and just smile and wave...
I have been gathering strength for about 6 months now to tell my barber to go a bit easier on my ears when he’s folding them back to trim hair behind. I may speak up one day.
I learned to cut my own hair during the COVID lockdowns. Been doing it ever since.
