Didn't brilliant Tim, and beautiful brilliant Johnny, already do the robotic metal stylist thing, back in the eighties?
And did no one see Back to the Future Part II? They're way behind schedule on the flying car thing! We've only got five years to go! Great Scott! Save the clock tower!

True story: Before I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (and as a result was suffering some severe depression and mood swings), I developed a MIGHTY NEED for bangs at about 11:30 on a Tuesday night. I already had dyed the front portions of my blonde hair pink, so really, it was like I had a guide for where to cut! I traipsed into the dorm bathroom with a mechanical pencil, a hairbrush, and a set of fabric scissors. I managed to have bangs that went about midway up my forehead and were uneven (SURPRISE!). It ended up looking okay (and almost like it was intentional) if I pulled the rest of my hair back at the temples and put it in a half-pony tail thing or in pigtails. I did that every day for about 5 months until I went home for Christmas. It was absolutely horrible.
I regularly did my own bang trims when I had bangs. That shit has to happen too often to pay other people. I will also do touch-ups--if I catch any missed pieces in the days after a haircut. But I leave the overall mess to the pros, because a bob is just not something one should execute on oneself.
Growing up, my mother never cut mine or my sister's hair - she was friends with her hairdresser, who trimmed our bangs for free. She's not much for crafty things, so I think this was really a blessing.
My dad lost his job and has been cutting my little sisters' hair. It looks... interesting. My mom sneaks them back to the hairdresser if things go too wrong.
One hairdresser wouldn't give me bangs and the next just gave me a few wisps, so I was forced to go at it with the kitchen scissors. I think it looks fine, except for a few odd chunks on the side.
"Because my hair's curly, I don't need to be anywhere and I don't look in the mirror much, it usually just looks medium-bad..." Thank you for this articulation of MY LIFE, Sadie.
My boyfriend REFUSES to let me cut his hair, even though he's spending ridic amounts of money on haircuts at the salon (yeah, not the barber, the SALON).
I actually have experience though! All through college I cut/trimmed the majority of my guy friends' hair, and my littlest brother for YEARS wouldn't let anyone but me get anywhere near his head with scissors. For years. And my mom amazingly approved every single cut.
Apparently my resume does not impress him though. Le sigh.
Achieving a "trim that looked exactly like his hair pre-trim" takes a tremendous amount of skill, mental fortitude, and dexterity that should not be undertaken lightly or drunkenly. Also, you should you ever try to cut someone else's hair while intoxicated, know that the resulting cut will look a lot less fly the next day.
I've recently trimmed my own hair. It's long and straightish and I try to pretend that jaggedy="layers." My husband cuts his own hair and does a damn fine job. Maybe I should try to convince him to cut MY hair.
