Why not? If you're fine with a simple haircut, it's really quite practical. I'm a guy and do a simple taper fade from 1" on top to 1/4" on bottom (similar to this).
My brother did it for years and he got to a VP level role at a large insurance company. If he did a bad job, there's no way he would've gotten that kind of role because it's as much about personal presentation as it is about competency.
I have my wife check it each time, but I don't have her do it because I think I do a better job.
Same here, but a bit shorter than in the picture. I haven't been to a hairdresser for at least 35 years.
Yup, mine is shorter on top and a little longer on bottom. I've never been a hairdresser, but my mom always did my hair and taught me, and I've had hairdresser friends.
The only time I'll get mine done is if it's a friend, otherwise it's a waste of time and money for me. Yeah, a hairdresser is faster than me, but not with transportation to their shop, and the quality difference isn't high enough to matter for me (I don't care about my hairstyle, as long as it's presentable).
