I have always cut my own, DH & kids hair. The kids had never had anyone other than me do their hair until after they left home. DH has only went to a barber once during our 40 years together. My Mom always has me cut & perm hers & has since I was a teen. I still do hair cuts & perms for other people. My best friend & her DH won't let anyone else do their hair. My BFF's mother wouldn't let anyone else do her hair either. She always said my perm would last way longer than a shop could do. We sure miss her now that she is gone. Never had a problem with any of them sitting still other than my Mom. LOL
