Undercuts are good if you’re OK with them not being perfect after a couple of days, and if you either have an extremely steady hand at weird angles or a partner with an extremely steady hand as well. I’ve maintained many a partner’s undercut in my day being as queer polyam person and they’re a lot of work to maintain but with a steady hand and a decent beard trimmer they’re worth it. Also you can practice just maintaining it every day a little bit and you’ll get good quick with the trimmer.
Or just spend tons of money to go to the stylist once every couple of weeks and have them maintain it but that’s expensive.
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.
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
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

I couldn’t do any fancy gradient stuff tho

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
