The other day I was doing something close to nothing (but different than the day before) when I got to thinking about how quick and easy — and free! — it is these days to manage my hair.
About ten years ago I bought a fancy professional-grade hair cutting scissors that, believe it or not, I have never once used for anything other than cutting my hair.
As time has passed it has become more and more obvious that I almost didn't wake up from the erroneous belief that hair should be cut by a professional.
I did the math and it turns out I've probably spent around $10,000-$20,000 since I left for college and started paying for my own haircuts.
It could be more.
That's not even taking into account all the time I've wasted over the decades, thousands of hours travelling to and from barber shops and hair salons, arriving early, then vegetating while I wait for the barbers/stylists who are always running behind.
Not to mention making small talk when I'd rather not, and listening to that around me.
And paying for parking.
But the cherry on the sundae is that never have I been happy with my professional haircut, not when I first look in the mirror at the shop and not the next morning and thereafter at home.
What was I thinking????
I love cutting my own hair: it's super-fast and fun when I'm done and look in the mirror it looks just the way I want it to.
Wait a sec — what's that song I'm hearing?
