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.
Am Asian. Literally never went to a barber lol. I mean except that few times when I was a kid. My dad then learn how to do barber stuff. I think he might’ve worked as a barber for a short time, but not sure. Then I got older and just did haircuts myself. I keep it like very short, like the shortest timmer guard (is that what it’s called?). Idk why but hair gets veerry annoying when it gets long.
Saves a lot of money, you know… average Asian frugal tricks that parents teach you 😅. I never admitted that fact in front of classmates in the US since that’s kinda embarassing. People love to poor-shame.
(For context, I’m a dude, idk how girls/women does things, but my mother also never went to a barber, not to my knowledge anyways)
Idk why, but like I think many Asians just don’t really take haircuts that seriously, I remember a Malaysian-American classmate just joking about his mom doing haircuts for him… so relatable lol. I hear like white kids or black kids talk about haircuts and “hairstyles” and I’m like… 👀

My Filipino wife and her friends pay each other a few bucks to do each other’s hair. Works great!
