Haircutting when times are tough.


Feeling like Prickles the sheep waiting to get shorn?


There is an answer, without doing yourself (or others) any harm! 0:)


First off, decide on exactly what you need to do. It's best to aim at something you may be able to achieve rather than aiming too high. i.e. trim off a little rather than trying to create a whole new style; leave that to the professionals. And this is not the time to get creative, unless you are willing to live with the potential consequences!

Secondly, invest in a quality pair of hairdressing scissors. 

Or if you are planning on giving yourself a crewcut (or going all out bald), make sure you invest in the necessary equipment to make that happen.

Next, do your homework! Preferably before you start cutting.

Then make yourself a cuppa and think through what you want to do and why. In other words, you have head shots and when the lockdown is over, you do not want to be going to auditions looking like something from a horror movie (unless that's your deliberate intention). You want to look vaguely like your headshot, rather than the Bride of Frankenstein!


And for those hairdressers currently sitting around wondering how long it's going to take to get back to your salons? I'd suggest you get your rest while you can. Because once you are back in business, you are going to have all those home job hair coiffure examples to fix. i.e. all those who didn't bother to read the instructions. 0:)

Have a good day y'all!
