Man we been telling y'all to learn to cut your own hair. It's easy as hell to get started and get competent with basic cuts.
I'll still throw $30 on a cut every couple of months just because I like being in the chair.

Repped for posting thise vids. Second one is exactly what I get, just shorter length. Cut mine a few days ago. Moved to a different city last week, so I'd be driving 30 minutes every two weeks for a cut. Plus his prices went up. No thanks. Had an appointment scheduled for this Saturday, but I'm going to cancel it.

Been cutting my own hair since 04 never looked back. I usually let it go two weeks before the next cut with a shave and taper every week.

The second vid is nice too. I usually get the same cut but I need to take more time getting the loose hairs because after a week or so it starts to look messy and I don't wear du rags

Finally got around to trying out son son. He had those two parts from a previous cut. Brought the fade up maybe too high. And blending was a bia. Bout to finish up. Much respect to barbers
Few more times I should be better. I don't think I could do myself tho.

It's not too late... you can still make it look better by going back over it with your shorter guides in the open position to remove some of that bulk. Start with a #1 open and go up another inch or so, then use the 1/2 guard open and go up a half inch, then close it and go up a quarter inch. Should thin out some bulk and make the fade appear smoother.Finally got around to trying out son son. He had those two parts from a previous cut. Brought the fade up maybe too high.

Here's a really detailed tutorial using Wahl clippers and guards:

Yea first cut. Appreciate the feedback. Yea definitely started the bald line higher than I would have liked too. Also, vid I used had those little guidelines, will use wider as you suggested. Felt good to break the ice tho. Was a lil scared to blend with the edge of the clipper. Didn't wanna take a chunk out. But kinda got use to it. Will check out that vid. Thanks.

Fellas I had to cut my Hair low. Barber is precise with edge but has a tendency to push pack. Sometimes I don’t mind mind a slight pushback b/c my hairline is like PG. Plus his iffy on my beard. Hairline growing back nicely. Now I just need a good barber in Midtown Atlanta. Really trying had to find one.

Baldy is more high maintenance than waves or any other style. I can't even kick it basketball leather smooth (other than where the bald spot is, its easy to feel). Joint grows back in shadow in minutes and I'm not bout to be reshaving everyday or even every couple of days
