I read all the great reviews, and decided to save a few bucks and try a student cut. The girl I got was very sweet, I asked her how long she had been cutting hair, and she said 3 months, which worried me.... She totally did not know how to handle the scissors and comb. She kept parting and clipping my hair over and over, before she actually cut anything - and when she did, she cut her fingers - The she had to stop and put a band-aid on. The good thing is she did not cut much hair off (half an inch tops), but left me with a sort of Q-tip / mushroom shaped hairdo. I wanted a shorter cut anyway, so I am getting a real haircut at my usual - Geoff Merritt Salon - which is excellent for curly hair.
Pros: its cheap
Cons: had to get my hair re-cut
