Do you visit a Barbershop or cut your own hair?

My wife is a hair stylist and she does a mighty fine job if I do say so.

Barbers use other barbers to cut their hair. Unless you use a trimmer, it is nearly impossible to cut your own hair.

I go to a Barbershop everytime...and I hate it. There isn't a single barber in the state of North Dakota that knows how to fade.
Barbershop. Self cutting or using a Flowbee was never, ever considered.
My wife cuts what little hair I have left and she does a better job than most barbers I patronized.
I went with the Jason Statham buzz cut 3 years ago. SWMBO hits me with the trimmer every 10 days. Fast and easy.
I was shaving my 'nogging' once a week (Sundays), using either my Merkur's 23C OR 38C using Shark SC blades, but now have changed to using Bic single-blade disposables for speed and convenience and actually get a BBS headshave (and saves me lots of 'moola' too...Yeah Baby!!!), without any problems, nicks and bumps.

In the Navy so just buzzing my head with clippers keeps me in standards 24-7.
I cut mine myself with a #1 guard on the clippers. Before I would get my hair cut very 2 weeks @ $12 a pop. Bought some $25 Wahl cordless clippers from Walmart and saved a boatload of money.
Bald by choice, so I guess it looks like I do it myself. For some reason I just hate going to the barber shop, so this works good for me.
I started using clippers on my hair about 5 years ago and have switched to shorter guards every couple of months to now where I don't use one. My clippers are starting to dull and not cut as well so I'll be getting one of those Wahl Balding Clippers and having a go at it.
That is probably because no one gets fades anymore except for people in the military
I have had the same barber for 30 years. She retired about a month a go. The barber who bought her shop does a good job too. My hair is thick and grows fast. If I go too long without a haircut the ends of my hair start to curl up. Altohough my hair has gone grey I still have a lot of hair. If I tried to cut my own hair I would be embarassed to go out in public.

None of the above - I go to a salon in the little town I live in. Friend cuts my hair in exchange for fresh-roasted coffee.
I cut my own for 4 years! this past summer I started growing it a bit longer and that makes a trim a bit more difficult.

I get a fade three times a month. I love a fresh fade. Nothing better than a nice cut followed by a st8 shave. I rotate between three barbers all of who are amazing at giving fades.
The problem here is that there are very few barbers around, so I usually end up going to a unisex hairdressing salon and paying $30 for something a barber could have done for $14. The only barbers I know of are on military bases or in country towns these days.
Barbershop. Consistent cut every time and I can get a straight razor shave if I want.
