Cicero posted:Relatively few of my dev co-workers are fat. I meant more in terms of a relaxed dress code and other parts of appearance (I can go 3 or 4 months between haircuts easily). I was including that. I think it's one thing to wear casual clothes to work and another to wear wrinkly, ill fitting, pilling or holey stuff to work. Which I know happens without notice on the west coast. My response to you was a minor comment anyways. I was mostly pointing out to n8r that you don't need to really spend money to not look like a hobo/trash.

Usually they are doing their own hair so if I like the way it looks on them and they have similar hair texture as me I watched it. I'd honestly do that instead of watching the ones I liked because if I remember correctly you are caucasian with fine hair. I'm asian with pretty high protein hair. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brmQhv6Uw1g

I cut my own hair (long, wavy w/layers) for the first time this week and really all I can say for it was it wasn't a total disaster. Seems like all the ponytail method tutorials I read and watched ended up with the back shaped like a V and I didn't much care for how that looked so I had to spend some time getting that even but the extra step was worth it. I wasn't doing it to save money, I just can't find anyone who can cut my hair worth a poo poo around here. Until she moved out of the state I was driving ~70 miles to have my cousin cut it and was also paying her instead of abusing the family discount, so that was probably bad with money but she did a fantastic job and I miss being able to have her cut it.

I feel you. The only person I found around here who could cut my hair properly was $70 per cut. v  v I agree that the ponytail method sucks. I don't use it. I find it easier to even things out if you cut off the length in one stroke on each side. Then layer and even it out from there.

moana posted:In the video I linked, she shows how the angle changes that V-shape. If you cut at a less steep angle, you get less of an effect. I agree, I like the more even style rather than the V-shape (looks too young for a fuddy duddy 30 year old like me). 'Not a total disaster' sounds perfect, I just don't want the split ends I get after forgetting about it. I swear to god, I do oil changes more often than haircuts Yeah I think as long as you're mostly just doing a trim nobody is going to be able to tell you just chopped on it yourself. Good luck! edit^^ I ended up using a combo of ponytail in a couple different positions plus pulling everything to the front like that to get rid of the extra length. Fortunately being wavy my hair is pretty forgiving of a haphazard trim job. Everything Burrito fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Jun 12, 2015 |

Secks Cauldron posted:You're missing the point. It's super easy to spread lice and other stuff around if you don't know what you're doing. Barbers and stylists tend to handle a range of different chemicals and they need to know how to use and store them properly. Which is a perfectly valid point until you compare it to the regulations around food which you actually put in your mouth and eat. No one ever died from head lice.

Best part is that my state requires no training or certification on safe food handling for restaurant employees, but if you're thinking about using scissors or clippers it's suddenly a big health issue. I'm not saying that some beauty schools aren't scams, though.

Dik Hz posted:Yes, because a hairdresser touches many people's heads in a given day, making the hairdresser a potential risk for spreading communicative diseases. Food-handlers are more likely to spread non-communicative diseases like food poisoning type stuff. I suppose you've never heard about Typhoid Mary, salmonella, or hepatitis A. There are many very deadly diseases that can be spread much more readily by people in the food service industry than the person who cuts your hair.

That if food service doesn't require a year or more of training to perform safely, it's pretty unlikely that other service jobs like stylists, etc. do, and that these requirements seem to be more about supporting the training industry rather than producing safe barbers. Really difficult concept.

Yeah, except state licenses can require a full year of studying to be a cosmetologist to be eligible...

If we're just talking clippers and scissors, sure - give someone a first aid course and some knowledge about blood-borne pathogens. But hair stylists deal with dangerous chemicals every day, with the risk of not just hurting themselves or ruining a batch of food, but seriously injuring paying customer. Everyday processes like perms, relaxers, and dye jobs can easily result in serious chemical burns.

Anyone you know ever died of AIDS? When I was in Nigeria, barbershops would spray the hell out of their clippers with a cleaning aerosol and then place them in a UV toaster-oven for an hour, rotating through multiple sets. They always encouraged their repeat customers to bring their own clippers from home.

And if you're actually licensed as a "barber" as opposed to a "stylist" or "cosmetologist", many states require you to demonstrate that you can safely perform a straight-razor shave.

Bad with money - I was watching some HGTV house hunters spin off for a couple who wanted to move to big sky montana. Apparently they also had a horse. Not only were they going over their budget but they also still needed to build a stable. #horsechat my husband after reading this page - "But do they have a barber for their horse?"
