It costs a little more, but I went to a couple of actual salons and interviewed people (with hair cuts) over the course of about a year. I had a winner at the salon near my house. She asks enough questions that I feel like she's able to advise me as a hair stylist, but is not annoying about the choices I do make; I may have a husband at home, but she's clear that I am paying and that I tip well.
So. You'll hate it less if you find someone good and trainable (not everyone is as enlightened as we'd like) and return to them. The main problem I've found, so far, is that the really good ones move on pretty fast (out of my price range), but Marissa has been hanging in for a while as she and her husband go to college.
