Sometimes its better to pay MORE! The JC Penny's Salon usually costs me about $30 (plus a tip) for a wash & cut (add another $10 to style it). I was in a hurry and wanted to save a few bucks so I went to this Hairport place in town and OMFG, I have haid to my ass, so I took in 4 pics I found online that I liked, said this is how I want it to look, take about 6" off the back, so its about 6" below my bra and about 4-5" above my ass (waistband) and I want it layered, and I want the sides to angle in. Ok so she wets it down, sits me in the chair, and starts cutting. About 15 mins later, after she's cut the back straight across, taking about 8" off, she said "You know, I'm just not comfortable layering your hair, I'll just leave it trimmed up, nice & even, it doesn't V cause you said not to have a V in the back, and I'll cut the sides" so she starts doing the sides, and she said, how short, and about had the scissors next to my EARS, and I said, NO, I want them to angle, like this... showed her the pics again, and she said, oh ok. She lowers the sheers and takes a big peice and cuts it, then the same on the other side to match. She, teased them a little bit and that was it, cut my bangs, I TOLD HER... "DO NOT CUT THEM SHORTER THAN THE END OF MY NOSE, my hair is naturally curly and they will spring up when they dry" so what does she do, cuts them mid nose towards the bridge. What happens, my bangs look 1.5" long when they dry! It cost $15 and a $5 tip, and took 2 weeks for my bangs to grow to a length that I wasn't embarrassed to leave the house. My philosophy now is, if it costs less than $30 don't do it! This Paul Mitchell salon I went to a few years back, they did a WONDERFUL job, gave me that FRIENDS haircut, with highlights, it looked great (wasn't what i asked for) but everyone loved it, and it was $140. So you get what you pay for. I still prefer a gay man to cut my hair over woman, I think they are secretly vandictive and just want to shave it off! lol The guys are amazing! Good Luck!
