I used to go to the same stylist for about two years, but I moved away from the salon and went less and less frequently because of the distance and because she charged $45 a cut.

A few months ago I was cutting my bangs and really smurfed them up, so I went down the street to a cheap little Great Clips. The stylist there gave me just as good of a haircut as my old stylist for only $12. I was very impressed.

I usually leave about a $5 tip.
