My Husband's Hair Cut

Since I've been married, my husband has gotten his hair cut at a local salon, with the exception of two times, when I attempted to cut his hair with the help of friends. The first attempt produced a shorter 'do than hubs was used to; the second attempt proved more successful, but incredibly time consuming.

Now that I'm on my domestic quest, I decided to get serious about cutting my husband's hair (after all, they make it look so easy at the salon...I should be able to figure it out, right?). This time, I'm armed and ready with the knowledge from my two friends, my new 'can-do' attitude, and this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3hl6OBOSUk (I found this video to be both educational and entertaining; though it suggested the hair-cutting experience to be slightly more sexy than I found it to be)!

Here's the before pic:

My husband likes his hair short in the back and longer on the top of his head, so I used electric hair clippers with a short attachment to make the sides and back short and I trimmed the top a little longer than finger-length.

I shaved his neck and used blending shears to make the transition from short to long hair look nice.
And...drumroll please...here's his new 'do!
It may not be the best haircut he's ever had, but it's definitely the least expensive! I set out on this domestic quest to learn new things and hopefully save money in the process. Now that we both know that I can give him a decent hair cut (without spending the better part of a day), we should save about $180/year! Wahoo!
