Hair clippers. I bought a set at Target for about $30 about 16-17 years ago after several bad haircuts in a row from the various chain barbers. I just have a simple men's cut and figured I probably wouldn't do worse than them and could always shave it off and call it a learning experience if I messed things up too badly.
It definitely took time to get decent at trimming the back and I had to have my wife help me sometimes while I got the hang of it, but at $20+ per haircut every 4-5 weeks, I figure I've saved almost $4k so far and it still works. I saved even more if my alternative was to pay up for a better salon to do the work.
When i was in senior year of hs i realized that clippers cost the same as a single haircut. Bought a set and have been cutting my hair ever since.
