Hey there, men! 💇♂️💇♀️ We've all been there – staring at our hair in the mirror and thinking, "Should I go to the salon or try cutting it myself?" Well, today, we're diving into the art of DIY haircuts and exploring just how much money you can save by taking those scissors into your own hands and cutting your hair at home. Spoiler alert: it can be quite a bit!
The Rising Costs of Salon Visits
First things first, let's talk about the cost of professional haircuts. Salon visits can put a serious dent in your wallet. The average cost of a haircut in the Europe can range from € 20 to € 60 or even more, depending on where you live and the type of salon you visit. And if you're someone who likes to keep your hair short and needs frequent touch-ups, those costs can really add up over time.
But what if I told you there's a way to break free from this cycle of expense?
I use a simple hair clipper. Yes, a simple hair clipper, which helps me make my hair look tidy and clean.
Tools of the Trade
Imagine a device so advanced that it can keep anyone, from birth to beyond age 100, looking trim, clean, and handsome for life. It can sculpt, trim, shape, or completely remove any hair on your body. It will save you hundreds of dollars and dozens of hours of time EVERY YEAR, forever. Over thirty thousand dollars over a lifetime. But yet this device costs less than € 50.
"Is such a thing possible?", you may ask. Well, thanks for asking, yes it is!
This marvelous gadget, often overlooked in the sea of grooming products, is a game-changer. It's a buzzing hair trimmer machine that's been available in stores for years. Yet, many, like myself in the past, didn't even know it existed. Once I discovered it, I started cutting my own hair immediately and frequently. From that point on, I never had to lose my edge! I never had to waste time sitting awkwardly around in the barber shop, watching the old dudes talk about hockey. I had gained control over my own 'Stash of hair.
For us males we don't need a complicated cut, in fact the simpler it is the more tidy we look. I'm sorry for women, but society has also given us this advantage in addition to the other unfair ones that advantage us at work.
Sure, cutting your hair at home can be intimidating at first, but with a bit of practice, anyone can become a proficient amateur hairdresser. There are countless tutorials and guides available online that can walk you through different styles and techniques. Start simple, and gradually work your way up to more complex cuts. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is hairdressing mastery!
The Savings Accumulate
Let's get down to the nitty-gritty – how much can you actually save? Well, let's say you were getting a haircut every six weeks at $40 a pop. Over the course of a year, that's about $346 (factoring in some additional costs for tips). Now, if you opt for DIY haircuts, you're looking at spending just a fraction of that on scissors, maybe some hair products, and the occasional replacement blade. You could potentially save hundreds of dollars each year.
Of course, it's not just about the money. DIY haircuts also offer convenience and flexibility. No need to book appointments, drive to the salon, and wait for your turn. You can trim your locks whenever it suits you, even in your pajamas!
One important thing to note is that while you may save money by cutting your hair at home, it might not always be perfect. Some complex styles and precision cuts are best left to the professionals. But for basic trims, maintaining bangs, or simple styles, you can definitely achieve satisfactory results with a bit of practice.
Remember, it's not just about the money – it's also about the satisfaction of mastering a new skill and having control over your own style. 💇♂️✂️💇♀️
