Thank you to everyone who commented on yesterdays video. What shall I do with my hair. I cut it. It had to go. Watch if you want to know how to do a DIY haircut.
I have mentioned it many times on the blog, but you won't have seen it. Here is a post from 2012. meanqueen-lifeaftermoney.blogspot.com/2012/04/hair-today-and-gone-tomorrow.html
Well done! You have the huge advantage that your hair is thick and wavy, you can get away with a lot. Straight hair is a much bigger challenge, every cut shows. It looks great!
That looks really nice. A great money saver too. I've been cutting my own hair since COVID and yes, it's less hassle and no sitting in hairdressers shops amidst the hustle and bustle. When cutting my hair, I use an old shower curtain to drape over my small table and on to the floor. So easy to brush up afterwards. Well done! 👌🥰😃
You did a great job Ilona. It looks lovely. 👍 It's about 25 euro for a dry cut, 40 for wash, cut and blow dry in local hairdressers here. 60 or more if you go to a stylist. It's not always easy to get someone your happy with.
You’ve done a lovely job on your hair . I also hate hairdressers for same reasons I got a voucher for Christmas from my son and it was for fifty pound because my hair was long it was classed as a restyle so cost fifty pound . I can’t warrant that on hair do so I now doing it myself again . Grand job anyway looks good .
Knew you wouldn’t be tempted to go to hairdressers and it’s just the length that’s always suited you and with a professional edge😉😉💇♀️! Definitely be interested in a video about your culinary adventures in the kitchen🥘🍲🍜
Brilliant Meanqueen! I thought you were going to say that you’d been to the hairdresser. You can cut mine any day. I too hate going to the hairdresser and have only been about 4 times in my entire life. I’ve also had mine trimmed in the past at a men’s hairdresser, they just do as you ask and no more. I lost all of my very long hair when I had chemo, but it has since grown and is now very long again but unfortunately not as thick as the very strong chemo killed some of the hair follicles completely. However, I’m grateful to have it and decided I would never have it cut again. It’s nearly to my waist and I just get my daughter to trim an inch or so off every year. Yours looks so lovely and thick and healthy and I’m amazed at the lovely layers you’ve managed to do. Well done, thankyou for showing us! Take care sweet lady 🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤
In the US, I pay about 100 dollars counting a tip for a wash, cut, style, and organic coloring. No bad smell and hair feels softer. Takes about an hour. My husband pays about 15 to 20 dollars, depending on where he goes for a cut. My hairdresser owns her own shop. She is more reasonably priced compared to the last one who relocated to a different town.
Oh it did look nice!😮I cut my own hair,I am a Hairdresser!😊you have to be happy with yourself,and if it's driving you nuts then you did the right thing! ❤
Bloody god job there ilona, I've let mine grow over the past 3 years because mine is £25 for a dry trim so only two trims a yr, which I hope to reduce to 1. I can't cut my back it makes my arms ache but I do do my top. Your lucky you have a wave👍
Suits you that length Iiona, well done cutting it yourself. I hate sitting in the hairdressers too, have a mobile hairdresser comes to the house and costs around £25 every 3-4 months or so, I trim my fringe in between but not brave enough to do the back myself yet !
Hi Ilona, from an ex hairdresser ( who never goes to the salon ) I have over the years , cut, coloured, permed and styled my own hair, it’s surprising what you can achieve yourself as you have proved , your hair looks great and it is just the right length for you 👍🌹 P.s when I started a shampoo and set was 6 shillings and 6 pence tells you how old I am 😂
The last time I went to a hairdresser, my son was in a pushchair....he's forty now! I've been cutting it myself for years! The back might not be perfect, but I don't care!
Thats brave of you! And looks nice! My hooman goes when trainees are needing models. They're supervised by their boss. Mega cheap, and some places are freeeeeee!
Can i make a suggestion? Get yourself a pair of hairdressers scissors, much sharper,and you get a better cut,just use them for hair only. Looking lovely ❤
I don't believe a hairdresser would've done any better, you did well.😊 I agree about sitting in front of a mirror and the smalltalk. I don't need to cut my hair it doesn't get long and it's curly so there's no style I can have anyway.
I agree with you. I hate going to the hairdressers. It’s horrible having to make small talk and they always cut off more than you ask for. I always feel worse when I leave and I’ve had to pay for it!
Your hair looks great you are lucky as hair with waves and curls is more forgiving, I think with very straight hair it’s much more difficult. You’ve done a great job
Wow, your new haircut looks absolutely wonderful. I would never have thought that you cut your hair yourself if you hadn't told us. ❤

your hair looks lovely. when you have curly hair no one can cut it straight so you've done a good job.

Looks lovely. I've cut my own hair for many years and always feel much better after a trim.

Fab job well done 👏 ✔ 😊Thank-you for sharing
Well done, looks lovely. I always do my own as well 😀
I always say if the back is not straight, that's ok, because I can't see it.
Looks lovely, I used to cut and blowdry my late mum's hair and colour it and I am not a hairdresser but it used to look nice
I love your hair Ilona . I am intrigue that is how you cut your hair so well. Well done x

Suits you that length Iiona, well done cutting it yourself.

Great haircut! You look very nice.
Your hair looks lovely you have done well love the video
Wow your hair looks great. You have really good hair. It suits you being shorter.
The last time I went to a hairdresser, my son was in a pushchair....he's forty now! I've been cutting it myself for years! The back might not be perfect, but I don't care!
That's ok. You can't see the back.
WOW, gorgeous, gorgeous, so suits you.
Hair looks great!!!
You have nice thick hair the length suits your face shape. I love it.😊x
Looks amazing! I love it 🥰
Looks really good Ilona, they did a great job
She did!
Great work Ilona that looks much more manageable for you and suits you very well, I cut my own hair too I can’t abide visiting the hairdressers!
Boring places.
IF... I have my hair professionally cut, a barber has always done the best job; otherwise, I do it myself like you do it.
You did a good job. It suits you.
Shampoo + cut + blow hair dryer i would say about 50 , and with colouring i would say 100
Oh I was thinking that the birds would like it to make their nest warm. I didn’t expect you to say it at the end though 😂
Thats brave of you! And looks nice!
My hooman goes when trainees are needing models. They're supervised by their boss. Mega cheap, and some places are freeeeeee!
It’s looks fantastic!
I cut mine too for the last 20 years
Looks lovely your hair 😍 you have done a fantastic job 👏
Well done. I have cut my own hair most of my life I am 74. When I have been to hairdressers it looks the same as when I do it myself. Linda

I’m the same as you,i work situations out with my own brain 🧠
You look brill❤❤
I thought you were going to say you went to the hairdressers, looks very professional 😊
I agree with you. I hate going to the hairdressers. It’s horrible having to make small talk and they always cut off more than you ask for. I always feel worse when I leave and I’ve had to pay for it!
Very nice!
Really suits you at this length. My hair is long and it costs £18 for a dry cut 🤗🙏
hair cut looks lovely 😀
Your hair looks lovely no you needed hair cut
I think you found a new side hustle 🤣 🤣
You may be right. Now who can I practice on?
Your hair looks great you are lucky as hair with waves and curls is more forgiving, I think with very straight hair it’s much more difficult. You’ve done a great job
Wow it looks like a professional cut! Well Done x
