Was wondering how much people spend on haircuts for kids here? And how often you take them for a haircut?

Or does anyone here cut their kids hair themselves? I remember my mum cutting mine when I was a kid.

I have seen them selling those DIY electric shavers in Kmart.....

I do both my husband and son's with the hair buzzer thingy and my daughter's gets a trim every few months by me. I'm too cheap to pay someone else to do what I can do myself.

Me too

And I even cut my own hair

I purchased a hair trimmer and all accessories from Big W made by Remington and its been absolutely fine. Cut hubby's hair when needed and I also trim my daughter's fringes to cut down the trips to the hairdressers.

how often did you take them before you moved to Australia, should be no different.

thanks for the replies, will look for the remington brand at Big W. I thought we were the only ones who planned to cut our kids hair....

as for going to the hairdresser before oz, it was once every 6 weeks or so (but that was because it is much cheaper where i am from) so i was thinking of maybe going once every 12 weeks in oz, but i guess we will just do it ourselves....

Hubby only has stubbly stuff now which he wet shaves. Son used to go to barber with husband but would come back with an electric shaver shave anyway so I just do it now seen as husband no longer goes.

If you can get ceramic blades they tend to do a better cut than steel.

Do an occasional fringe cut on self if eyes get irritated.

I cut my eldest's hair when she was about 2 and gave her a wonky fringe - never again!!!!We grew out the fringe so now she only needs a wee trim occasionally. My 3 yo has never had her hair cut as it's tight curls and although quit long, still looks fiarly short. Think I'll take them both to the hairdresser soon for a tidy up but it shouldn't cost more than £10 for both.

Compared to where I went in the UK to where I go here, here is stacks cheaper and no difference in quality of cut but a head massage is included which it never was in the UK.
