If you are asked to cut someone's hair or you want your own hair cutting, would you do it in the kitchen or outside on the drive or lawn ?

confused

Outside. Cut DH’s hair last week in the garden and later saw a blackbird taking some off to line a nest

Think I would choose the living room. May not be hygienic to have hairs floating around the kitchen

Outside would be fine if you could be private.

My husband usually cuts my hair outside.

No one in their right mind would ever ask me to cut their hair, inside or outside.
Well, DH did, in lockdown.

He regretted doing so.

(Did it in the hall, btw).

Absolutely nowhere other than a hairdressers , but if forced to do at home it would be outdoors- definitely not the kitchen?

Hmmmm, ok..

Thank you for replies

In the hall which is light and bright. It has a hard floor so that it is easy to sweep up afterwards

Outside if weather permits. Otherwise in living room with an old shower curtain on the floor. DD used to be a hairdresser.

I cut DH's in the utility room, then send him into the garden to shake off the hairs.

Outside. I read that human hair prevents mice from eating your bulbs so I tried that when I had to cut DH's hair during lockdown. The bulbs weren't eaten, but I'm not sure whether it was presence of hair or absence of mice that did the trick!

Mr C’s har is cut in the conservatory. Hard floor so easy to sweep up, plenty of light and three steps to the outside to shake off the loose hairs.

I always cut my DH's hair and beard and outside, if the weather's good. I have my scissors and cape read for DD. She's coming to stay for a few days soon and have always cut her hair. She'll give mine a trim too.

Inside on bad days but ours is a small cottage with only one open plan room downstairs. Tiled floor though.

Hairdresser.

I mostly cut my own hair but occasionally one of my granddaughters does it. I sit on a dining chair in the living room.
Then vacuum.

MrsKen33 Mon 23-May-22 17:18:03

If DD comes to cut our hair , it’s in our kitchen. If we go to her, it’s outside or in her ‘hobbies’ shed.

Serendipity22 Mon 23-May-22 17:23:31

Ohhh dear it appears i should have asked this question before i allowed my voice to bellow to the heavens.

DH says OUTSIDE

I have raised the roof by saying INSIDE ....

Ooooooops...... confused

MiniMoon Mon 23-May-22 17:41:28

During lockdown I cut my own hair. I did it in the bathroom where I have a good mirror.
I wouldn't dare cut anyone else's either indoors or in the garden.

M0nica Mon 23-May-22 18:10:42

Hair dressers and nowhere else. If he wants to cut my hair in the yard outside that is fine by me, providing it is not too cold or raining and his work is up to standard.

Baggs Mon 23-May-22 19:18:58

What if it's windy?

Germanshepherdsmum Mon 23-May-22 19:37:04

Then you wait for another day!?

Kim19 Mon 23-May-22 19:41:09

Always outside for me.

Serendipity22 Mon 23-May-22 20:00:01

Thank you everyone.... appreciate all replies.

Mr S hair has now been done ........ OUTSIDE... !!!!!!!

Note to self - when in doubt, ask GN.

M0nica Mon 23-May-22 20:01:34

Baggs in my hairdressers back yard it is too small and sheltered to be windy!

Thoro Mon 23-May-22 20:09:40

I do my husband’s in the bathroom so he can shower straight after
