I remember you almost forcibly taking the scissors away from me when I trimmed my hair at yours several years ago :-) Probably for the best as I was beginning to have the 'table-leg' issue...

Agree with LoA on unfairness of pricing. When I lived with my parents I used to cut my mother's hair (she hates hairdressers with a passion) and since then I have (attempted to) cut both Skordh's and El's hair - I gave my mother a simple bob type thing which was *vastly* easier than the sort of layering your typical man's haircut seems to need.

I admit that these days I do go and get my hair cut and coloured at a fancy salon, but I suspect that my enjoyment of that is largely to do with it seeming a semi-legitimate way to get a couple of hours all to myself! (I went last week for the first time in about 8 months because I just couldn't find the time before that.) And they don't sneer and have a cool massaging chair and give me nice coffee :-) If I didn't enjoy it I certainly wouldn't pay to go, and there have been periods of several years in the past where I have just cut it myself like once a year or less, which having no fringe I can get away with.
