Cruisers with well cut hair

Philips trimmer goes all the way. Nothing fancy but practical and neat.

In my family age seems to solve the problem of haircuts for the males. I'm still having mine cut, but only in selected areas.

I cut my own hair...there's nothing to it!...........What?

Last time I went to a Barber - haircuts were $1.75. My wife cuts it and she also trims the dog but for some reason she won't let me cut her's anymore (once was enough).

I picked up a home barber set back in 1999 or 2000, and have been cutting my own hair ever since. Best $40 I ever spent. Since I'm losing my hair anyway I just attach the 3/8th inch rake and cut until nothing more comes off. On board I'll plug it into the inverter and it takes about 10 minutes so the draw isn't much.

I hate it when I sound like my mother..
…..but I do believe first impressions are important…..

Since that is usually with customs and immigration, maintaining a smart professional appearance goes a long way to solving problems and getting information and acceptance when travelling.

Also, it is nice to be pampered by a good hairdresser which is easy to find in most ports

Thank you to all who posted. I agree with Pelagic's mother, and as such, there is no magic bullet, especially for a girl with hair that needs to be cut well to look decent. So it's still either

• Learn yourself and teach your partner how to cut each other's hair

or

• Find a hairdresser when needed and risk a bad haircut

Sometimes the second option works great. I can say this about Turkey: I found a hairdresser, who cuts my hair for about 6 USD. She is a fifth generation hairdresser, learnt from the early age, and she does absolute magic - better than any salons I tried in North America. And that, considering that my hair (VERY fine) is very different from regular Turkish. [You should've seen me after I attempted a haircut in China... ]

And it's even better if you're a guy in Turkey: as far as we understand, there's a tradition for guys to go to a barber, who would wash, cut, and style your hair, trim your beard/shave you, remove nose hairs, and trim your eyebrows. And all of it for a ridiculously small amount of money (unless you go to a fancy place). And barbers in Turkey are open late, very late. We frequently see places still open at 10 or 11 pm. And with lots of customers.

I think when we cast off I may consider this as a little income maker.

I started cutting hair when my daughter was a tiny little girl with so little hair that paying for a few wisps to be snipped seemed crazy. As her hair grew in my abilities improved. Once I talked her into a salon, but she hated it and so I am still doing it.

Last weekend I cut hair for the whole family, 4 guys and 2 girls.

My scissors were smoking ; -)

I will need shingles for haircuts and canvas work!
