$18 Clipper Buzz Cut Self-Haircut Tutorial | How To Cut Your Own Hair

-------------------

If you’re new to my channel, my name is Alex Kouras. I started cutting my own hair when I was 13, back in 2008. This was during the Windows 99 era—dial-up internet, when YouTube was a dating site, and the global economy got slapped. Hard. Because of it, my mom lost her job for nearly three years, and during that time, my dad had to support her, me, and my two brothers all on his own.

I started cutting my hair as a way to help my family save money because I was tired of hearing my parents argue about finances and wanted to do something to make things easier for them. After getting a few bad haircuts at Supercuts, I knew this was the best way I could help.

With that being said, this channel does not do my past any justice. I wish I could have recorded my first handful of self-haircuts so you could see just how garbage they were. I got made fun of a lot because of it in middle school—even by some of the moms from the kids on my soccer team! Rightfully so... They were pretty bad.

Now, over 15 years later, I share content that teaches millions of people every month in more than 165 countries how to save time and money by mastering self-haircuts from the comfort of your own home. It’s not a hard skill to learn, but like anything in life, if you make it a priority and stay committed, you can succeed without letting the tough times make you quit.

I had every reason to quit when I got started. No money. No mentor. No YouTube. No clippers, only a $20 Remington beard trimmer. I was literally just a little kid who cared way more about my family's well-being than any bit of harsh criticism I could get as a result. Times have changed since 2008 and you now have an opportunity of a lifetime with my channel.

Please know, I’m here to help you on your self-haircut journey in any way I can. Self-haircuts are fun, an awesome skill to have, and the best way to avoid ever paying for a barber again!

Alex, you should get a haircut from a barbershop and post a review video on it! That would be interesting!

Gotta be honest with you chief, that clipper sounded like it was about to die at every moment of this cut. Also, it sounded different in at certain points of the cut, like the power was inconsistent. My opinion is if you are on a budget, grab a cheap corded Wahl clipper for $30. If you don't have money to spring for a good cordless clipper, then you probably dont have money to replace a cheap one when something goes wrong with it. Even reputable cordless clippers clunk out without warning sometimes.
