Would suit me. I get a blade 2 all over every 6 weeks. I always wanted to setup super cheap kiosk-based hair cutting (I was going to call it RyanHair), but I basically felt the clippers were going to be stolen all the time.

I wonder how many people get a similar, clippers only, non-styled, hair cut. I remember when I played football in middle school, we had a maximum hair length of 2 inches (and couldn't touch your ear or shirt collar), so we pretty much all just got 0/2 fades or buzz cuts every month from one of the teammates mom for $5. Wasn't a bad business. She made $150-200 in a single day in a couple of hours.

  Now a robot is about to rob a mom somewhere of a decent job. Soon a kitchen robot will make another mom afraid of the kitchen since she will not spend any time there but the question is are robbers going to get their jobs taken by robots? Robot robbers fancy anyone? Or Rob-o-robot?

Robot robbers fancy anyone? Or Rob-o-robot? F*cking Kek! You guys and your collective aversions to laugh at the 'automate away every job' narrative is why people have to create throwaways to make that joke... its so sad. I'm personally waiting for 'chef-bot' to do all my heavy lifting, tedious prep work and cleaning so I can just focus on the fun stuff in a kitchen. Hell, I'd probably have the motivation to work in tech/startup in the mornings and kitchens in the evenings like I did in my 20s if that were the case. I say bring it on! Edit: Haha, not even 25 seconds on the downvote... you guys are a riot.

Why would you bother paying someone to give you a basic training cut? Just buy the clippers and #2 blade.

    That includes money too?

      Somewhat ambivalent about that too! I can't seem to hold onto any that's for sure.

  I've tried, but it's not worth it. DIY is more difficult, you need more than one mirror, you have to clean all the hair, and it definitely takes more of your time. I have the blades but only use them for the beard.

    If it's a #2 all over you'll have no problem finding the remaining patches with your hands. No mirrors needed, just feel your head. This is true for most guards about #4 and below. Above that and the length of the hairs are not different enough to feel the differences.

  I used to cut my hair (and my friends') as an undergrad, so I picked up a clipper about 9mo ago and started doing mine again (and my son's, if he'll hold still...). It's fine, I rarely get it perfect on the first go, but I just tidy up the next day. The clipper cost less than a single trip to a barber...

#4 every two months, it saves so much time.

  Just tie it back and let it go. It’s been about 10 years since I’ve had a haircut.
