I mean, my hairdresser did a good job the first time so now I usually just tie the long bit into a ponytail and go over the parts they shaved myself. You don't need a steady hand as long as you clip and tie away the stuff you don't want shaved.

I couldn't do any fancy gradient stuff tho

My partners' hairdressers always complained about how I trimmed it for them especially at first...so maybe no steady hand required but maybe I just suck at it kitty-cri-potato

what the owl said, but also you cutting your partners' hair isn't exactly great for the hairdressers' business. its like netflix telling you not to pirate lmao

True, that 5 minute clean up for $60 is probably their bread and butter. And although I definitely value their work and feel like they deserve to be paid fairly for it, we definitely could not afford to do that every couple of weeks

barbers where you live take 60 dollars for a machine touch-up???

Nah, your hairdresser probably just nit picks because they see hair all day and notice the details. To most people it probably looked fine
