Where does a Muslimah get a haircut?

I just got my haircut today.  Its been almost 7 months.  I'm just not one of those girls that feels the need to get it done all the time.  I use to get really nervous that the hairdresser would mess it up but now I don't care.  Probably because since November I have always worn my hair up in public.  It started as an experiment on how I might feel if I had to do hijab.  How it would feel to not have to get up an extra half hour early so I had time to do my hair.  I got use to it and just kept doing it.  Now I feel awkward in public with it down and I don't have the patience to do my hair anymore.  It just doesn't seem worth all the hassle.  

So this made me think: where do Muslimahs get their haircuts?  Yes there are all women salons but many have male stylists.  Some have that heavy curly hair that is really easy to cut at home so they don't need a salon.  But I have fine curly hair so I NEED a stylist to cut mine.  I suppose you find a friend who is good with a scissors?

So ladies where do you get your hair cut?

  2. Here they are almost all women hairdressers, but the environment is for both sexes. Lots of men don't go to barbers anymore and they go to the hairdresser.

    We have a bunch of hairdressers who do hair from their home so I'd go to one of those. Defintiely a good option. But my cousin is a hairdresser so I'd go with that first of all!
