Holly has been cutting blog-Stedman’s hair for years.
Years
and years
and years.
She has some fancy hair cuttin’ scissors.
She has some electric clippers.
She has no formal hair cuttin’ training.
Every once in awhile she has to remind blog-Stedman that he gets what he pays for.
Overall, it has worked out well…
Well, except for that time back in ’92 when Holly accidentally cut a bald spot in blog-Stedman’s temple the day before he started a fancy new job.
Shhhh…that time is long forgotten.
So, imagine Holly’s delight when she watched Oprah the other day. Oprah was interviewing America’s most frugal family.
America’s most frugal family cuts their own hair!
Yay for America’s most frugal family.
Yay for Oprah.
Yay for Holly.
Wow.
Holly should be on Oprah!
And then Holly had what Oprah calls a lightbulb moment…
Holly should share her hair cuttin’ joy with her three boys.
That is what America’s most frugal family does.
Holly is sure that is what Oprah would do if she had three boys and wasn’t rich and famous.
Holly paused the television and ushered the boys into the kitchen. She sat them down one by one on a hair cuttin’ stool and covered them with a professional cape.
There was a lot of clipping.
There was a lot of cutting.
The hair was a flyin’.
There might have even been a bit of complainin’.
When Holly stood back and assessed her work, she smiled.
She smiled.
And giggled a bit.
And then she rushed to her computer.
After Googling, “mullet reversal”, Holly decided that the next time her hair cuttin’ scissors wanted to save money she would think about using them to clip a coupon.

So does this mean that Oprah won’t be calling anytime soon?
Teeheehee
Laughing….!
here is something I NEVER figure out – why is the kitchen always the hair cutting place? Kitchen-Hair…Kitchen–Hair…Kitchen…food–hair in food! Huhn….I need to find out the answer– I shall google “hair cutting in kitchen” and see what shows up!
Funny Post…*giggling*
Sooo funny!!!! I tried cutting the girls’ hair a few times… It was fine until they were around four… Then I just made them look BAD. Now we’re waiting for the day when cuts are 2 for 1 at the nice kids’ salon here.
I cut one of my twins bangs and they are still too long. I tend to err on the side of long. Oh well. BTW, I tagged you for an award and it’s important because it was MY first award! I know, you are so honored. Enjoy! ScaryMom
You are sooo funny. I would probably shave my son bald if I had clippers in my hands!
ahahahahahahahahahaha! I particularly love the mix of hair colors on the floor.
AND, no new pictures of the boys.
–>What did you do to them?<–
Ha!!! My mom still cuts my dad’s hair, and as far as I remember I never let her touch me with those scissors…
Ha ha ha ha! I’m so glad you said that wasn’t blood on the floor. Where are the “after” pics?
How do you think up this stuff????lol
I just have to say that I LOVE your doodled-stories (or whatever it may be that you call them). They never fail to put a genuine smile on my face and I may or may not have been known to actually guffaw outloud while I’m reading some of them.
It made my evening — thank you!
I need to find Oprah’s see through dress- that is like SO fashion forward.
I giggle every time I read this
LOL
You crack me up! Definitely say NO to the mullet! No wonder your kids were scared!
Very good! Funny, I enjoyed it! I have a nice pair of hair cutting buzzers too and no professional training and I buzz my husband and 2 boys hair also.
I also have been cutting my husband’s hair for many years (I think it’s about 12 now), and I also once cut a bald spot in his head — his was in the back, though. Fortunately (?) he didn’t have a job, and it was only right before my parents came into to town to visit us for the first time since we’d moved to a new state together, so it’s not like there was any pressure or anything. What I want to know is: WHERE did you get that professional cape? I cut my son’s hair now, too, and he hates the feeling of hair on his skin. I would love to have a cape to sort him out.
PS To avoid a mullet, you need to cut more layers in their hair.
You’re hilarious. Love the cartoons.
too funny! I actually cut my hubby’s AND all 3 boys…have for years, and yes, I save a ton of money!
I once “trimmed” Secret Agent Man’s hair. It was long. It was not long by the time I was done.
Now it’s short, but he goes to a “salon” to have it cut. Oh well. I was proud that I did not cut my finger. Or his ear. Much.
Now that was funny! I let my hubby give my son a buzz cut and he cut it about 1/8th of an inch thick. That was when I discovered my son’s head needs hair! I could not WAIT for it to grow back. I will just eat frugal instead…Top Ramen is cheap!!
I buzz DH & Mayhem’s hair but Havoc has a widows peak & cow lick and double crown & couple other weird hair laying patterns, so he needs to wear it longish & I can’t trim that for anything. So I pay $15 for him
I cut the boys hair a few times when they were much younger. I made them look so bad that I decided it was worth the money for a barber since then. It is either that oir just buzz them every spring and fall?
Best.artwork.ever.
Do you get any decent hits when you google “mullet reversal?”
And this is exactly why I stopped cutting my husband and son’s hair. We save money in other ways but I couldn’t bear my husband going to work wearing hats every day until whatever mistake I made to his head grew out…
Love it! Hubby asked me to cut his hair, but I was too scared and said no. Now daughter does it and she makes $10 plus tips. Sometimes no tip and sometimes she makes another $3.
It definitely looks like a tween cut it. But he doesn’t care.
I just wonder what will happen when she is a teen and mad…. YIKES! Will have to hire you and your amazing animated life skills!
Their might be blood in that one! hehehehe
Mullets are awesome. Nothing says lovin’ like giving your boys a little business up front, party in the back. They should be THANKING you.

I think I’ve come home and cut my own hair after every haircut I’ve ever paid for. Something just wasn’t quite right. One EXPENSIVE guy I went to asked who cut my hair. When I admitted that it was me, he said, “It’s so EVEN.” And, that’s bad how?
WOW…your pics are so funny! I ALSO am a hair cutting mama…I once forgot to put the number 3/8 guard back on the clippers after close-cutting my hubby’s sideburns & neck. ONE big long swipe right above his ear on ONE side…right before an important business trip presentation. I wanted to do the other side to BALANCE it…he wouldnt hear of it! I sent him OUT for a while after that!. My only hairyscary moment in a couple decades of cutting my boys/hubby’s hair….and YES I do cut in the kitchen. Icky I KNOW! Also cut the dog’s hair in the kitchen. wanna come over for lunch??!
Can a Mullet Reversal be performed outside of a hospital? Loved this! (And, see-through clothes make perfect sense to me.)
