No, you're right on that Shiny. It depends on how qualified you are. It just tends to be that the people out of those really nice salons tend to hire more qualified people, usually. I don't think that the salon I go to now would ever have some random shmoe who didn't even work there just cut my hair.

The woman I go to is beyond talented, and very friendly. She's good at finding things that are flattering, and explaining technique so I know how to blow dry and style things like she does in the future. The place is really nice, clean, and provide you snacks and beverages. I only pay $30 for a wash, cut, style, and dry, because of my discount. Usually it's $60. I get free bang trims.
