> If I see someone with a good haircut, I ask where they go. They're usually flattered, and are therefore generous with the information.
This is actually an excellent idea. Ask people you know and don't know who's hair you like. I'll have to start doing that myself. I'm VERY particular about my hair, and my friend did it for the last 8 years. But we had a falling out, so now I have to find a new one.
The last time I got it cut I chanced it and went to one of the cheapo places, Great Clips, Super Cuts or something. The girl I got had really cool hair. She had it blonde on top and dark on the ends like I've been wanting mine. It was one of the best haircuts I've ever gotten. Of course I didn't catch her name, I didn't realize how much I was going to love it until later. So I guess looking at THEIR hair is a good idea as well. The more modern and trendy they are, the better in my opinion.
Also try cutting out lots of pictures and educating yourself on what kind of cut you need for your particular hair type to get the style you want. For instance, my hair is really thick, so I will never achieve one of those wispy do's. I actually have to have it thinned out with a razor, otherwise its just so heavy its like its plastered to my head. Thinning it out actually makes it look fuller. Also I want to be able to pull it back in a pony tail if I want, so that means not cutting layers too short. And I know I like something that is low maintenance for everyday, but can be styled more formally when going out. For work I leave the house with it wet and let it air dry. For a more formal occasion I blow dry it smooth with something like Frizzease and use hot rollers to make is either flip up or under.
I'm always telling people not to get me talking about my hair. I'm like, obsessed with it or something. I could talk about it for hours! I think I may even have a hair fetish of some kind.

One of the things I have a hard time controlling is running my hand through cuteboy's hair as I walk by him. He lets me get away with it even though I know he isn't really a touchy feely person.
