I’m autistic, I’ve had one haircut since covid because I hate the sensory aspect of haircuts. I’ve been searching online of how to cut hair and it doesn’t look that hard, but a lot of people seem to advise against it. I think that if I fuck it up it’s not the end of the world, I can just go to a professional. But I have very long hair so I have a lot of opportunity for trial and error. I think that if I get some practice, it’s something I can continue to do going forward. I also don’t particularly care how it looks, I just want it to be shorter.
Been cutting my own hair for a decade. It wasn’t pretty at first, but I got better. Have done several different styles over the years, too. Now it is easy, quick, and looks good.
I’ve saved so much money and, more than that, time and stress. I can cut my hair first thing on a Sunday morning or late on a Monday night. No appointments, no idle chit chat, no leaving the house… just 20 minutes and a shower and I’m good for another 3000 miles.
