It's.easy to spot the self clippers, they miss the crucial.stuff like trimming eyebrows etc and all those places hair is growing where they shouldn't be...
Mrs Old Shep?You won’t spot me.. eyebrows on No9 and nape of neck without a guard.
Think on I clipped ~2000 sheep a year for 35 yrs Im no stranger to cutting. Should also add it’s our 50th wedding anniversary next year and Mrs Shep has never been to a hairdresser since the day we married. I’ve cut, styled and dyed it in all those years.
Besides the financial consideration it’s also the time involved in visiting a shop. We have a hairdressing night around every 6-8 weeks. The whole job and floor swept in little over 30 minutes. It takes us 30 minutes to drive to civilisation.
Short story, I've got long hair....yes I know that's my fault, but while I was waiting to have a trim I picked up a magazine like you do and there was an article on cutting hair and it said “ if you have long hair don't waste money on hair cuts, just wash hair put it in a pony tail and trim the ends."
A couple of months later I tried it and yes it works and haven't been to a hair dresser since.
