Tips For Giving Yourself an At Home Haircut
Most of us are due for a haircut at this point, and men are most likely struggling the most. Salons are not considered essential under Governor Little's stay-at-home orders, so if you feel the need to give yourself a trim, here's some advice.
Matthew Queen, who owns Cadillac Matt's Barber Shop in Garden City, spoke with KTVB and passed along these tips for at home hair cutters.
