O.k., so I read some reddit pages.......
The reasons:
Time - save time by doing something else
Stylist went to school, so they know best

Don't expect much for a $10 cut.
You get what you pay for.
I do buzz cut my own hair and only ask the barber to clean the neck line, because I can't actually do that myself.
Two hair cuts ago, I asked the lady to round the neck line, she squares it. Round and square are quite different. My hair cuts take about 2 minutes at the barber, but some how it never goes as plan. I'm paying $8-$11 for a 2 minute hair cut and it still gets messed up. This is like $4-$5 a minute and I could do a better job on average.
O.k. letting it go and will look for a barber who can properly do a two minute hair cut.
