Haircutting is not a practice that must be done in a fancy salon or barbershop; it can just as easily occur in your living room or backyard. What is necessary is that the person performing the cut is knowledgeable and skilled (or you may end up going to a professional for a "correction") and has the right tools for the job.
Choose haircutting tools based on the type and number of haircuts you do, the frequency of your haircutting duties and your budget, since such tools are available in a range of quality and pricing. Be sure to try out, or at least handle, any tool you are considering before purchase because comfort and ease of control impact the results --- and the haircut recipient's satisfaction.
