Cutting my own hair - Chapter 4

The story continues.

Tip number 2 - Work with decent tools. There is no need to spend a lot of money on top end professional hair cutting scissors. At the same time, it will be easier to get good results with something better than the kitchen shears that you used to dismantle a chicken last night. A basic pair of home hair scissors can be had for under $10 and a home clipper kit is under $20. Basically you can have good tools to work with for about the cost of one bad haircut experience. You own the tools. With proper care they will last a good long time. Look at it this way. Your first home cut is break even on the $. After that they are all really FREE. Any Sally Beauty Supply store can get you hooked up with good tools inexpensively.

Of course, I own some of the best hair cutting tools in the world. This was a natural for me. But be sure, I was thinking, “all the great tools in the world and I can still mess this up”.
