Just wondering how many guys get a brard trim at the barbershop? I was maintaining a 3 mm beard length using my home clippers, but 3 weeks ago decided to let it grow out fully to see how bushy I can wear it. At some point, maybe 6 months, I'll want to get it shaped up under my neck and on my cheeks, but I'm not the best to do it symmetrically. I'll be looking for a good barber that does beard trims.

Never. I have trust issues and I own a nice pair of scissors and several combs.
I do not have a beard, but I do have a moustache, sideburns, and eyebrows. Although my barber gives a good haircut, they always trim my sideburns and eyebrows way too close. Since my hair is white, I have to maintain a certain minimum length for the hair to show. Thus, I won't let him trim anything other than around my ears and the back of my neck. I have a Phillips Norelco trimmer. It has a variety of attachments that are suitable for beards, moustaches, eyebrows, sideburns, body hair, etc.
The last time I had a barber trim my beard was around 1977-78, I have trimmed it myself ever since. They did do a very nice job scissors only.
I ways trim my own beard. Nothing wrong with getting it done, but I am not willing to part with the cash for something I can easily do myself.
Absolutely nothing wrong with letting a barber work on your beard imo.
The guy I go to will trim/shape my beard twice a year. I do have to be very specific on how I want it. He does a good job and takes less than I do.
He does require extra time, so i have to book it in advance. So I end up trimming it myself most of the time.
I would definitely look at their work though. I notice that many barbers want to trim beards short, and make very defined edges/lines.
I don't want that. I want to keep my beard as natural as possible, while still looking presentable. I work in retail, so I try to keep it neat.
