I’ve been to a pro once in the last 5 years, after my hand me down clippers went belly up. Since shaving off last halloween’s self administered mohawk (picture: [http://www.angelfire.com/az/osakadave/mohawk.jpg](http://www.angelfire.com/az/osakadave/mohawk.jpg)) before going back to work, I’ve been clean on top. More to the point of the OP, my best friend decided to treat himself to a “bic haircut” last Tuesday night after leaving the bar. I gave hime all the advice I could over the phone, and get to see the reults later tonight. ---

Well there’s a thread title that brought the bad old days back in a rush. Yes, I have given myself a haircut while drunk. Since I am female and had long hair, I had no chance of a neat and tidy result - I ended up with hair shorter in front that in back. It wasn’t as bad as the time I got drunk and dyed a friend’s hair - and some of my own. Figured might as well put some dye in the short bits at the front, so they were short and bright red from memory. I don’t really remember much about that period of my life. ---

I once got drunk–well, I was usually drunk back then, to be honest. Anyway, I let two women cut my hair, one woman per side and the collaborated on the front and back. The results were, well, interesting. It was also the closest I ever got to my fantasy three way, even though the two women in question kept on promising “someday.” ---

I burn it off with a blowtorch. ---

I gave myself a haircut once - but I wasn’t drunk. I used dull old dog clippers with no guard and it looked like I was attacked by something large and clawed. Ugly and I had to have my head shaved and let it grow back out. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ever-get-drunk-and-give-yourself-a-haircut-i-did/101627.md?page=1)
