Hi Eric,
There is no difference in Spanish. We use the verb cortarse (el pelo):
- Voy a cortarme el pelo (en la peluquería de mi barrio)
- Voy a cortarme el pelo (yo mismo/a mí mismo)
Cheers!

The first one we said:
Me han cortado el pelo (we don't know in this sentence who, but we know that it was someone else)
Me he cortado el pelo (I do it my self)
Verb: HACER (do)
Yo he
Tu/vos has
El/ Ella ha
Usted ha
Nosotr@s hemos
Vosotr@s habéis
Ustedes han
Ell@s han
We don't know who do it, thats why we use "HAN"
Other examples:
Él me ha cortado el pelo
Ella me ha cortado el pelo
Mi amigo me ha cortado el pelo
Me han cortado el pelo (SUJETO TÁCITO) (in Spanish the "sujeto táctico" means that we don't know WHO do it, obviously someone done it but we don't have "he, she, my friend" "él, ella, mi amigo" so we have a tacit subject)

I’m having my hair cut. (Somebody else is holding the scissors.) "Voy a ir/ iré a contarme el pelo"/ "Voy a ir/iré a la peluquería"
I’m giving myself a haircut. (I’m holding the scissors. Hey! It’s the pandemic!) Verbos reflexivos en español: the person that is doing the action is the same that is receiving the action: " ME cortaré / ME voy a cortar el pelo"
Two important things: You only need to know the reflexives verbs in Spanish. Then you need to choose a tense for the action: present, future, past. I choosed future :)

Usamos el verbo cortarse.
Me he cortado el pelo/ me he cortado el pelo. (normalmente el peluquero, pero también si yo mismo lo hago).
Solo si necesitas aclarar la ambigüedad:
Me ha cortado el pelo alguien/ me he cortado el pelo yo mismo.
