Cheap Haircut

I have had a string of miserable haircuts and would like to finally find a decent stylist. The catch is we are on a very limited budget so going to some of the stylists I've seen recommended here is out of the question. $15 is about what I can affort, $25 is a big splurge. So does anyone have a cheap stylist to recommend who is also really good at listening to a client and helping find a good look for her? I know I'm asking a lot but I'm hoping there's someone out there like that. Am keeping my fingers crossed. sabine

Inexpensive Short style for long hair - Richmond

I am interested in getting my long hair into a short styled cut. Unfortunately, I am also on a very limited budget. Any recommendations for a place in Richmond, El Cerrito, El Sobrante or Pinole? Can you recommend a specific person at one of the low cost places? Thanks for any help. Patty

Good Cut Under $40

I know there are recommendations on the website, but I still wonder if anyone knows of a cutter in Berkeley who's under $40 and good with mid-life hair, someone who can actually design a cut that has something to do with the person's face and size, and who will not blithely inform me, "Why, you have dry hair!" (Yes, I know that. I've lived with it for 40-odd years.) I tried Jimmy, the much-recommended person at University Hair; he's a nice enough guy and an adequate cutter, but seemingly not a stylist--not real forthcoming with ideas other than the usual, "Oh, you have fine, dry hair." melanie

More advice

I have been one for twenty years and I have to say that if you are looking for a good person you can rely on and who can give you good consistant cuts, you probably won't find one for under $40. The going rate is $50-$60 these days mostly because the cost of living around here is ridiculous. Two good ones: , Kristin Killian or Jennifer Archbold @ 510.527.6226 in Kensington Jennifer
