I hate going to the barber and sitting under harsh lighting then he sprays water over my thinning rats nest (making it look even worse) then he says “Your getting a bit thin on top won’t be long now “. The icing on the cake is him holding up a mirror right up close to your thinning crown and says “Happy with that” you look around and notice that everyone in the waiting seats looks up at your hair because the barber was talking so loudly and having a good laugh at you under their breath.

This was my ritual until I met a girlfriend that used to be a hairdresser now she cuts my hair thank god I don’t have to enter a barber shop for a while.

What do you guys do for hair cuts?

Every now and then I go to a place and see how it turns out, but usually I have my mom cut it at this point. I've never quite gotten past the anxiety of going out and getting it cut since I originally realized I have male pattern baldness

However I just decided I'm going to grow it out, so eventually when it gets to a certain length I'll likely need start getting it cut somewhere professionally for a cleaner look

Ha yes it sounds funny now but at the time I was beside myself with anxiety. I remember waiting in my car outside the barber shop until he had no customers.So if he made comments on my hair no one would hear.

Unfortunately the barber was very good ensuring many customers..

I went along time cutting my own hair - I chose the most simple of styles so I couldn't really botch it:

I cant pull off this style too well anymore so I now suck it up and go to the hairdresser.

Because I live in a foreign country I can never tell the hairdresser is talking about my hair loss, but that's probably a good thing.

I love that style, I would probably choose something similar if I would be NW1
You can easily do it as nw2 as well.

At nw3 it just starts looking like a combover and the only reason I had for so long was because I had toppik to help me out.

Now the hair's thinning too much around the temples to apply toppik.

i have buzzcut from teens so it isn't really a difficult to make even without mirror

nevertheless I go to a barber if price is cheap

in Asia I paid $8 for a simplest buzzing which is a rip off obv... Nobody balding there so buzzing is a rare thing

in slav countries price is $1.5-3 why even bother

Sounds like they conned you.

It costs between a dollar and two dollars here unless you get it cut by a westerner.

It depends. You can get it for a dollar or two in suburbs or tourist city bit not in Singapore or Bangkok central
