I found that cutting it yourself with an electric razor gets easier over time. At first, you feel uncomfortable and wonder how it looks. Eventually, you can do it almost without looking. I can even trim the back of my neck now using the razor and a second mirror in almost no time. At first, this was next to impossible.
I can't stress how freeing it is not having to worry about my hair. Now if I could only convince myself to make the jump to shaving it all off...
