I just trimmed my half ana inch. So this lady I go to everytime she knows all about cutting hair she cuts hair good , but she knows diddly squat about being gentle with hair and caring for it (she has a pixie cut). When she would come to a knot she would just rip it out with the comb =S eeekk !! Im growing out henna and so I have some blonde roots so shes like what kind of shampoo do you use ? and Im like dove , and shes like you should use shampoo for blondes sinse your blonde .dadada ... I just was like mmhmm , oh really? . :shake:
I wouldnt go with her except she only cuts what I ask her dispite what she doesnt know about hair and I want to start cutting my own hair but I havnt gotten brave enough.

I just recently started doing Feye's method (http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=feye%27s+method&oq=feye%27s+method&gs_l=hp.3..0l2j0i30j0i8i10i30.225.2322.0.2863.13.1 1.0.1.1.1.280.1864.0j9j2.11.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.1.K aaEsXE5CmA&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=5988fe0ce707769a&biw=1680&bih=928) again because I'm tired of going to the salon and paying $20 for a trim! yes a trim costs that much! 35 if they where to wash and dry it. And since I'm family of one of the stylists I never get my appts on time even when i booked weeks in advanced. Sigh, just a "perk" I guess.

Feye's trim seems scary but really takes off minimum. I'll update in a minutes with pics of my before and after of feye's trim
Using the U trim (mind you I have some layers so it looks way more u than I actually cut

Here in Mexico the most I pay for a trim is 5 dollars, nice huh?

It was my first time trimming my own hair in 2 years so it's not perfect but it will be one day lol. It's really only the bottom 2 inches that where "cut" and I only took 1/4" to 1/2" max

Not to stray further off-topic, but why are eggs so expensive down there? Here eggs are a poor man's steak in that they are a very good source of protein and contain all sorts of good nutrients packed into one little oval ball. I grew up eating a LOT of eggs for this reason as weren't the richest family.

To be more on topic though. My last salon visit was back in September of 2011. It has crossed my mind to go to the salon again, but I know it's for the pure adventure of stepping into a place that revolves around what I love so much, hair. The hair related goodies they have in there are nice too, hats/scarves and the like. The reason I went to the salon though was to remove the last of my dye and it required some fairly heavy layering. I ended up with a pixie, which is what was needed to get rid of all the dye and maintain as much length as I could, but the hair was all mine. The girl was terribly rough, and with the higher up layers too. I'm still growing out that treatment, however she accomplished what I wanted, needed to be done by a professional as I had not the skills to do so myself, and I had no reason to go back. I recommend, unless you need something like that done, become as independent as you can about your haircare, especially cutting. A bad hair cut can really set you back and mess you up. I use feye's method. Easy peasy and no diddling around. Only takes a few minutes. I'm saddened by your unpleasant experience though, gentleness is not something they teach in beauty school it seems...
