Consider getting a clipper and DIY. I also have a very basic cut and have been doing it myself for over 20 years. Think of how much money I've saved! Plus the hassle of not having to plan it and go out and do it. I just grab the clippers and warn my wife I'm going to ask her to do the line at back of my neck in 10 minutes.

5/8 on top and chin. Tapers around ears. 1/4 for sides and back. 3/8 for rest of beard.

Seriously, it's not rocket science. Give it a go, for <$30, how bad can it be that you can't get it fixed in a week?

I started doing this during the pandemic. I’ll still do it every so often if i don’t have the time to actually go to the barber and need a cut. My problem is lining up the back of my head. Need a barber who will charge me 5 bucks to line me up and not do anything else lol

Yeah, if you don't have someone handy to do the back line for you, you need a good triple mirror and a steady hand.
