Ok, I realize this is a little out there for a post...but thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
Anyone know of a good stylist who is sub-$40 that works in a male-friendly salon? Seeing as I am a guy with longer-cut hairstyle, the buzz-cut-only barber shops are not for me. Even places like Fantastic Sams are scary for me. My hair becomes unruly in the hands of a hack

, and good hair=confidence. I need a guy-friendly salon that will not leave me with a chia-pet 'do when I walk out the door.
Thanks!
Dave
