I don't want to cut my own, as I am not trained + I am too clumsy and the times I have done it, it has not turned out right. I just give a very clear instruction as to what I want when I go to the salon: blunt hem, no fancy stuff.... and that I am saving for very long hair. I have found that they are as careful as me in not wanting to cut too much, and not cutting without asking me and warning me about how much they will cut. I had a really nice hairdresser the last time I went. She completely understood and even asked me if she was allowed to use a straightening iron before cutting my hair, to which I replied, stuttering: "well... if you have to.....", she understood that meant "Don't touch my hair with that!!!" in my I-don't-want-to-offend language and refrained ;-)
She also said she adiviced people to not put their hair in a pony tail and that she noticed I didn't have pony tail damage. Just sharing my good experience with a hair dresser that seemed to understand the whole long-hair thing.
