The problem with "chain" hair cutting places is that even if you find a good stylist, it is almost guaranteed he/she won't be there the next time you need a haircut.

@Ailatan Hearts BabyJane: i go to an aveda institute so that i never have the same stylist twice. usually, my first cut with any stylist is awesome, then subsequent ones are lackluster because they stop listening to me.

other awesome thing about it? costs me $18. costs me $14 if i pre-book while i'm there for my appointment. lurve.

I'm so wildly in love with my salon and stylist that I think, even after I EVENTUALLY move out of NYC, I will come back in for haircuts. $40 gets me the best haircut of my life, scalp massage, and back massage along with access to amazing Japanese haircare products.

@LaComtesse: That seems cheap. It's over £40 ($66) here in Edinburgh for any of the half nice places.

I get a girl from Charlie Miller to come to my house and cut it for me though. She does my cut AND colour for £35!!! It would be like £100 in their place. No, it isn't as relaxing and I don't get a head massage, but hell, at least I can afford to look nice!

Three locations, but it's not a chain, perse. West side one currently close for renovations, but the other two are both fabulous. Yamami is AWESOME. Some stylists run a little more expensive, but I don't think a cut goes above $50 or so.

AND WHEN YOU GUO, buy this stuff

If I can't get a beer while I'm getting my hair cut, it's not my kind of place. Liquid courage for what the stylist suggests doing (they should seriously use that method on What Not To Wear).

So, I either get my hair cut by my stylist little sis at her house or at Bird's Barbershop (despite the price of the "Ladybird" special).

Do NOT get your hair cut at Supercuts. My boyfriend went there only wanting the back of his hair trimmed. You know, the VERY back of it.

He specifically asked the lady to not cut any of the length off of the rest of it, and assumed she was just tidying the rest up.

Nope. She cut a good two inches off and left him looking like a generic GO TEAM GO guy. Looked awful on him.

I gave up when I moved too far away from my beloved childhood stylist. I have curly hair, hair that is curly to different degrees in different spots on my head, and I'm better off cutting it myself. Because when I pay for a cut, I inevitably have to do a bit more cutting the net day, just to deal with the pokey bits. Or I end up looking like a shrubbery.

@NotIt: I spent years going to cheap chain places and they never once cut my curly hair right. It always ended up looking like a poufy pyramid. I finally found a stylist that I absolutely love a few months ago, and I am pretty sure that I will stay with him for a long time.

I don't trust "chain" hair cutting places. Especially ones with awful commercials.

@greengrey (raidersofthelostSTAR): ME TOO. Every time I have gone to a chain place, my curly hair ended up looking like a pyramid. One woman at a Supercuts apologized when she cut my hair and it turned into a frizzy mess after spending 30 minutes messing with products. I had to leave the place with my hair in a ponytail... I spend more on haircuts now, but I have to get my hair cut less often because my stylist actually knows how to cut my hair so that it will grow out properly and not look like crap a week later.

My hair is fine, thick, shinny and I have lots of it, they would still find something negative in it.

Sorry for the rant, but this seems to be the case here.

What gets me is how passive aggressive they get

"I see you don't trim your eyebrows" (nice enough eyebrows, not want to mess with them)

"You sure wear your nails very short" (I wear contact lenses, I don't want to poke my eye with a nail)

"Beautiful colour, it's a shame it's so straight" (I like straight hair!)

I even get the "No, a bob wouldn't suit you, your face is too round"

Who asked for their opinion?

Excuse me, my hair may look and feel healthy, but it really isn't? Is my hair going to run a fucking marathon? Is my hair going under strenuous physical exams? It's HAIR. If it looks and feels healthy, what the fuck else matters? Honestly.

@Samanthrax is Sarcastic: Oh man, I have HAD the "Pantene in the DEVIL" speech from several different hair stylists. Do they have a unit on telling people that at beauty school or something?

I don't actually use that anymore, only because I found I really like Aussie Cleanse and Mend (great for my dry ends and oily roots!). But I still find myself thinking of lying if/when the hairstylist asks me. Then last time I just said "Oh, just Aussie" and the guy was like "That stuff is really good! And your hair is in great condition, you should stick with it." I. was. gobsmacked.

@Ailatan Hearts BabyJane: The eyebrow thing gets me every time. I LIKE my strong eyebrows, and whenever somebody does a leading question about them, it pisses me off. Particularly when, after I say I like them as is, they still go "Well, we could just pluck them a little, shape them, you know". Argh!

But I do appreciate a stylist who tells me something I want might not suit me . . . I've gone through enough bad haircuts that I thought I could pull off (growing out some godawful bangs right now) that a little candor is a good thing.

I guess it all depends on the person and whether they want input. It'd be nice to preface a visit with "Okay, would you like my opinions on this look, or do you know exactly what you want?".

@cand86: The girl at the beauty parlor told me today that I should look into electrolysis for my hairy neck. She said "You only have about 10 hairs, and you can barely see them, you should really tke care of that before it gets worse... you would be the PERFECT candidate for electrolysis..."

Yeah thanks. I feel like I should be on that Mitchell and Webb fake ad Jez posted a couple days back.

I got my hair cut at Supercuts when I was 19 and it was my WORST.EXPERIENCE.EVER. The lady kept cutting my hair shorter because she couldn't get it even and ended up giving me a horrible bowl cut. Ugh. I don't even know why I went, maybe I was high on coffee after finals or something.

That said, I would not go to SC because of Amy, but I think it gets people talking about them again, which I guess is the point.

No, because I would bet all my money in the bank (ha) that she doesn't get her hair cut there. Which is the exact reason I am impervious to all celebrity endorsements. If I had the money, I sure as shit would not get an 8 dollar haircut.

@Samanthrax is Sarcastic: (OK: full psycho disclosure here) she gets her haircut at a place on Orchard Street in NYC called Arena. I was looking for a hair salon a few years ago, and they post her endorsement on their website. I booked my appointment that day.

(This is was the throes of my Strangers with Candy obsession.)

Maybe Amy is just not into good haircuts, because I didn't really like the way the person at Arena did my hair. It wasn't a tragedy, but it didn't thrill me, either.
