I've gone to the same one for about 10 years. She's amazing. I'll cry when she retires. My daughter has gotten her hair done there as well. 
My hair stylist's daughter went to preschool with my daughter. Now my hair stylist's daughter is helping at the salon and washes our hair sometimes. I love that place. Such happy feelings involving my hair stylist.

I have curly wavy hair so I need someone that can work well with that. I have a couple of stylist that I will go to. My kid's usually go to one of the women that cuts mine. One time I went to Great Clips because I was desperate. This woman really messed up my hair, my hair already has a mind of its own so it was bad. After that I don't take chances anymore.
Grrr. All right Roh. As much as I hate to do this , I have to give you double kudos for your original post. That was pretty clever!!!
My hair is naturally pin straight, so there was a time when I used to cut it myself--I would just put it into sections, pull it to the front, and try to cut the same amount off each section.
It really is funny how many of us have longer and better relationships with our hairdressers than with significant others.
But because my hair is so fine and flat, I usually have perms (curl) put in, and then it requires layers and a regular stylist. Once I find someone I have a good "relationship" with, I will stick with them forever (or, unfortunately, until I move.) But like you, I found that it was just getting too expensive (one does not want to have to choose between getting groceries and getting a hair cut, and I usually only get mine cut about 4-6 times a year.)
For about 38 years of my life, I went to "down-home" family-type salons that charged less than $30. The last few years I've had to try to find someone else, and I was going to a fancy salon where the stylists have levels of experience, etc. The owner was cutting my hair, and I never thought it was any better than the hole-in-the-wall places I'd been to before.
The past 8 months I've been going to one of those franchise places (Great Clips), and have been pleasantly surprised. I've had a different girl each time, and they've done a really good job, especially for only $13. I even had a perm done there, and it was the cheapest one I've ever had ($79-most places charge twice that), and it turned out great. I just went there last week and had someone touch up my layers, and I was very impressed with how thorough she was in making sure they were all even.
I only wanted to chime in here because I was always reluctant to go to the "McDonald's"-type chains of hairdressers, but it's been a really nice (and money-saving) surprise. If there's anyone out there who has a fairly simply style and has never been to a place like that, I would highly recommend giving it a try.

the kid's and I go to Super Cuts, for me it costs about 15 bucks for them it's less. I occasionally do go to this local place close to my house and that's a little more 25. I don't go as often because the owner who used to cut my hair gossiped about someone I work with, who gets her hair cut there too. She said something about her hair to me and since then if I go there it's with another stylist who's behavior is way more professional than the owner, sad to say. But most of the time I go to Super Cuts and have never had an issue, I make an appointment there with one of the stylists that I know can trim curly hair.. Oh another good place to go if money is tight, if you have a hairdresser school in your area they usually have hours that you can go in and get a haircut. There is always an instructor there who watches and will help if needed.

I've done the "McDonalds" route before, but found usually my hair was not as good, mainly because most of them have not had experience with my type of hair. I've gone to a few hole in the wall ones, and normally it's pretty good, if I get the right person, but then that person ends up leaving. La Sigh. So, out of desperation of not having to pay $50 when I didn't have it, and because my mom refused (I may have caused her a few panic attacks by the way I freak out with my hair), I decided to cut my hair, because hey, if it's messed up, I have only myself to blame.

I would love to see what you look like with straight hair.
My dream would be to be that gorgeous, waist-length, super-straight hair that falls like a shimmering carpet down the length of one's back.
However, the reality for me is more like a long-haired cat... that's been caught in a rainstorm.
