My last professional haircut was at the start of March 2020; I've been cutting my own hair since April 2020. It's been a bit hit and miss, but I have got to the stage where I can do a fairly neat buzzcut (9mm on the back and sides, 12mm on top) with a bit of a quiff left at the front (though sometimes the quiff ends up a bit short, and occasionally I end up buzzing it off because it's gone a bit wonky, and last time I had the bright idea of combing it down and trimming it as a fringe without thinking that that would leave the shortest bits at the very front) and generally I think it looks OK (though it needs redoing regularly or I find myself resembling a dandelion clock).

However, my calendar is starting to fill up with in-person meetings, as we contemplate a full return to working on-site and not remotely, and I'm starting to worry that a haircut which is fine for Teams meetings might not be good enough when people can see the back of my head as well.

Maybe I should try to get to an actual barber instead? Though I'm not sure how much they could really do with hair that is still less than an inch long on top...
