Nice to read of all of the DIY hair cutters... Been doing my own for over 30 years, and the pile of clippings has really shrunk over that time.
For the ladies, if you really want to add to the savings, and you dye, GO GRAY! I have a gal I'm keen to (47), who I told would look great with gray hair a few years back. Her family said it will make you look "old", etc... Wrongola pal, she looks absolutely great with beautiful fully grayed hair, and she is so glad she did the change. Saves a TON of $$$, she says her hair is more healthy than ever, and can hardly go anywhere w/o people saying how great it looks outa the blue. Just one fellas opinion, that gray hair can be very sexy, and attractive, and it just might be the perfect shade for you.
