Consider learning to cut your own hair with scissors if your hair type allows it. I've done haircuts for myself for 15 years with only a pair of thinning scissors. I have never once used a clipper. I'm Asian with straight hair so this is possible. The sides and back are hard at first but thinning scissors make the cutting very mistake-tolerant. You can cut at any angle, roughly around the place that needs it, and it cuts some layers of hair off. You just repeat cutting and feeling the length with your hands and eventually it'll be at the right length. It takes me about 30-45 minutes including everything from cutting, showering after, vacuuming and clean up. I only recent stopped (and went back to a barber shop), only because I have a baby now and I really need every bit of energy and time I can get back in my life.
