And it came out good! I watched a few YouTube videos for technique ideas. I am so happy I saved myself the stress (I hate getting it cut, I’d rather visit the dentist) and about $100. Who knew it was so easy

Wow. You must be very talented and have long arms! Good for you.

I do that too! I hate going and hate getting disappointed. One day I just watched and thought, I could do that!
And I must say, my cuts have come out better then when I've gone to any salon, expensive or cheap.(If I do say so myself!) And I get compliments.
I try different things.
I've watched videos and also my neighbor who used to be a hairdresser said you can do this for a simple and quick result-
put hair in a ponytail-turn head upside down and cut the ends of the ponytail.

I have no talent at all! I put it in two pony tails, banded the ends and snipped below the bad. Then I had to work on the back part by brushing it straight up and snipping it between the fingers. I’m shocked it wasn’t a giant disaster.

I totally agree, I’m always disappointed by the mediocre job they do. Tired of wasting all that money to look so so. I’ve tried so many stylists and must have a curse on me they all stink and they cost so much.

I've been cutting my own hair for 25 years and love how it looks. I create the style, tinker with it as needed, and enjoy being my own stylist. I get compliments on my hairstyle very often and asked where I get it done.... Ha. My very own bathroom!

I like too that I can control the look and the results!

Same here. I've been doing this off-and-on since my 20s - and that's (OMG) about 50 years. And for the last 20-30, it's just been me.
It seemed each time a hairdresser cut my hair, I'd have to "fix" it. Not to mention letting it grow since they could never understand the phrase "1/2 to one inch" and never failed to interpret that as 2-3 inches.
I call it going to CHEZ MOI! I love my stylist.
(I take the credit when it looks good; and the responsibility when it doesn't.)
Just fyi, for most years it's been between chin and shoulder length, often with long layers, plus bangs.

Ex Hairdresser here ... from the 60's ....yes I used a metal teasing
comb on my clients ... Yikes .....I aways have to tweek something
when I have stylist do it .... also ... I show them a photo of a do a
would like and it looks great when I leave the salon .. but I can
never do it the same myself and never seem to get the same hair
do again ... not to mention the price ....
I have very fine hair .. so if I wear it short like I like its a cut every
6 weeks and it adds up ....so I do cut it myself ....
Also ... I think some medications I am taking are effecting my hair ..
or maybe its just being 72 !!!!
