> But this is smart because everybody got their best look for the yearbook photo Ugh. Thinking back I remember quite a few years where mine was particularly bad because my folks always wanted me to get a haircut right before yearbook photos...and a haircut usually meant my dad exercising his questionable scissor-and-clipper skills in the basement. Bad bowl-looking cuts when I was really young (just comb it down and I'll cut whatever hangs past your eyebrows!) and stair-step "fades" on the sides when I was a little older (never learned how to blend so it was just switching up the guard as you go up from ears to the longer parts on top.) I can laugh about it now because I also remember "graduating" to cutting my own since at least then, the questionable results were my own fault. It's definitely not easy even with multiple mirror angles and a bit of practice. I did get decent at it by the time I was old enough to just pay the $20 every month for something that actually looked good. Now my partner is a stylist and she gives me free haircuts in the kitchen whenever it gets to the point where I start bugging her again. I'm pretty sure my dad doesn't take offense that I've switched barbers.
