Five Reasons To Buy Hair Clippers And Be Your Own Barber September 15, 2009
With the economy in question, people are finding creative ways to ‘get back to basics,’ be more self sufficient and, ultimately, save money. Buying good hair clippers is a great way to do these things, and more. Here are five reasons to buy some hair clippers and learn to be your own barber.
- Save money. Of course this is reason number one. Some hair clippers are pretty expensive, but you can get plenty of quality by spending just $20-$50. If a men’s haircut costs $10, that’s just a few haircuts and you’re already saving money. If you have kids, even one round of haircuts will pay for the clippers. If you do your family’s haircuts at home for a year you could potentially save a couple hundred dollars.
- Save gas. This also goes under save money, but in a different way. With fuel prices in flux, the last thing you need is to drive across town for yet another errand. Cut your family’s hair at home with some affordable hair clippers and that’s several trips you’ll save. Every little big helps.
- Save time. This is huge. If you go to a “walk in” barber shop, you never know how long you’ll have to wait in line. And even if you make an appointment at a salon, everyone knows you’ll still have to sit and wait to get into the chair. Save time by eliminating the variable factor, and set your own haircut schedule. Plus remember, when you don’t have to drive to get there, that’s time saved, as well.
- Regular touch ups. Especially with kids, the difference between “you’re shaggy” and “you got your hair cut” is pronounced. Every time you take them in, it costs money (and gas, and time), so it’s understandable that parents tend to put it off a little. Using hair clippers to trim their hair at home means you can do regular touch ups whenever you like. They won’t be the shaggy kids, anymore.
- DIY Fun. Simply put, it’s fun to do things on your own. Just like baking cookies or building a deck, it’s a fun hobby and pass time to use hair clippers to keep your family looking great.
