If you like your hair on the shorter side, hair clippers.

I’ve been cutting my hair for a long time now, and have probably saved thousands from skipping barbers, as well as been able to cut my hair exactly as I like it, and far more frequently/conveniently.

Seconded - I've been cutting my own hair for about 25 years now, must have saved a fortune. Still using the same clippers.

Same. I bought a second hand set of Wahl clippers for £4 from a charity shop after spending two hours and £5 having a bad haircut done professionally.

That was in about 1992.

They're still going strong and I've not paid for another haircut since, nor wasted a second travelling to or waiting around for one.
