Let's talk about haircuts

I've determined that deciding whether to
pay someone to cut your kids hair vs. doing it yourself
is an algebraic equation.
If the answer is Less that 1, you give it a whirl!

E * G/ $D - $15
[($Grrr + $2) * K + None] / $D

Where:

E = Embarrassment factor if this do-it-yourself haircut fails and your kids look ridiculas.
G = Gender factor : Boys = 1, Girls = 10
$15 = Cost of hair cutting set (with free how-to for dummies booklet: I totally qualify for this one!)
$D = Disposable income
$Grrr = Rising Cost of cheap BoRic's Haircut
$2 = Cost of Tip
K = Number of kids
None = available time to take kids to BoRics

Results? Take a look. One picture is when their hair was cut professionally, one was when I did it. Can you tell the difference?



Hate to say this in writing, but I guess Alex was right. (Yes, it was his idea)
