I always think, why do all Japanese say 「髪切る」, even though many Japanese don't cut their hair themselves?
(I'm a Japanese.)
「髪切ってもらう」 is almost correct Japanese, but we don't use this sentence.🤔
Similarly, we usually say 「手術する」 even though most Japanese don't perform their surgery themselves! 「手術してもらう」 is almost correct... (omitted below)
I always wonder.

Great point Kaima san. Remember in English you can say "I got my hair cut" or "I had my hair cut" instead of "I cut my hair".
