I cut my own hair all the time for the past few years now. It's easy to do. The hardest part is making the back even, the shave line. I got tired of spending $20 plus a tip for a haircut, a simple haircut at that and then make small talk to someone all up in my business. I actually did shave my head once like an insane psychopath similar to that movie Natural Born Killers when he shaved his head. Except I was drunk, going nuts do to personal family issues, and left scabs on my head. It did feel like a giant weight lifted from me though when I did that. So, beware a skin head with skabs, they are going through something.
