too much hair

I realize I may get very little sympathy about this current problem (and from the looks of recent contacts from back in the high school days this includes many men my age), but I've got way too much hair on my head right now. It's all over my apartment, it intercepts my food as I lift a utensil to my mouth, it interferes with shaving it's stunted kin on my chin. But now that I've been getting my hair cut by a friend who is an actual hair stylist, I feel kinda bad about chopping it off myself. I don't want to mooch someone's professional skills, but I also feel bad if I do it myself like it's saying I don't want her skills, either- it doesn't make sense, but so it goes. Maybe it has something to do with feeling like I have to pay a little more attention to my appearance now that I'm kinda in a professional world, or something like that (though, as a "creative", I think I'm allowed quite a bit more freedom than most people- nevertheless, I'm not looking to inflict some kind of assymetrical crusty thing on myself). Being Chinese, it's pretty tough to find a really decent haircut looking at immediately available media- many cuts that look decent or even good on a White person look hecka dorky on an Asian- so I've been checking out a Japanese site which helps, but doesn't cover too much range unless I'm really in tune with the subtle differences of mussed up Japanese boy hair. Darnit, how did I look so good with so little effort when I was younger?
