I can't remember the last time I visited a salon and let a professional handle my hair. But I remember that having a haircut before was not that costly, and with $1, you can even get a change, lol. I'm curious how much a haircut costs now in a salon. I remember reading an article from @xanreo, and according to what I read, a haircut with some special treatment costs 800 PHP. How much is it again, Jammy? Did I remember it correctly ( ꈍᴗꈍ)?
When I was a kid, when we still had a bakery and Mommy D's store had a neighboring salon, we always let them handle our hair, we even had pedicures and manicures at their salon. That's where I started to learn to clean my own nails, because while they do mine, I will just watch them do it. I suspected that, due to having a manicure and pedicure at a young age, my nails become thinner. But of course, that's just a mere guess, who knows, maybe there is another reason why my nails are so thin now.
Anyhow, I started cutting my hair when I was in college. It's just a spur-of-the moment decision, and I'm sure some girls can relate to this. I'm just making an impulsive decision because I don't have anything to do. And then I see my hair as a way to divert my attention. I didn't know at that time that cutting and styling my hair would be this entertaining, and inside my head I was already like, "Why not?" You know, that kind of moment, and when finally done, it's like, it became a hobby that I find pleasure in doing, until it became just a normal thing to me, lol.
Now, I cut my hair because I find it fun, and at the same time, I can save money if I do it myself. I always have one hair style, so that's so easy. If I want to try something different, then I will just cut my front hair to have bangs. But I always ended up hiding it because I was too ashamed to show it to others. Especially, no matter how many times I experiment with my hair, I can't still find a hairstyle that looks better on me. I mean, how do I know what's a hairstyle that fits my round and chubby cheeks? Huhu
Cutting my hair even though I feel like I already know what I'm doing wouldn't give a hundred percent that it'll satisfy me. There are times that I wish I could attach the hair that I already cut back because, in my mind, it's not good. I always have regrets, just like what I felt about this one haircut I did in 2023. And this has happened a lot of times already, but I still do it. Blame it on my stup*d brain, lol. But there are times too that I'm satisfied with how I cut it and will admire my hair in the mirror and take a lot of selfies. Even though it's just a straight cut, the cut I did, which, by the way, is from a short clip I saw on Facebook with the hashtag, HAIRCUT HACK, and when it gave the same result as shown in that video, I felt really satisfied with it, and I feel like trying it again.
Now with the question, "Would I do it again?" I say, DEFINITELY! And even though I can't always achieve the style I want, I will happily do it again. It's really not just cutting my hair, you know, it's the satisfaction I feel whenever I do it. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who feels this, but I definitely love cutting my hair (≧▽≦). It's so addictive that if only a hair can grow longer just for a second, I'll cut my hair and experiment on it over and over again with different styles, or if I see another hair-cutting hack, I'll do that too and check if it will give me the same result. That would be fun, for sure.
