Seriously- I've looked. I love doing it by myself. Though my neighbor was joking that she wanted to "put her stamp" on my haircut as well and kept threatening me with her dog shears (!!!). I do a very mathematical approach learned from many, many "salon games" that me andmy sisters would play. 1) separate head into quadrants, use clips to pin up 2) cut bottom back hair. This is the hard part. 3) lower each symmetrical quadrant and even 4) I like to thin/layer as I go 5) do the top hair/bangs 6) Check for even-ness Granted, I'm really not the most critical customer in the Salon de Bains (bathroom).

1) separate head into quadrants, use clips to pin up
2) cut bottom back hair. This is the hard part.
3) lower each symmetrical quadrant and even
4) I like to thin/layer as I go
5) do the top hair/bangs
6) Check for even-ness

Granted, I’m really not the most critical customer in the Salon de Bains (bathroom).

It sounds like something I would just hate to do, but I'm glad someone else tried it.

I was almost pickpocketed in Beijing but thwarted it effectively by doing a basketball move. A dodge and sideways jump into traffic (3 tiny guys had triangulated me) I actually think it's a good exercise to try to go cash free occasionally- to realize how much money we really need to get by day to day, on incidentals.
