For the last two years I spent in Las Vegas, this is where I got my hairs did. Had a few different stylists (scheduling prevented me from being monogamous), and each was better than the last, and none were less than quite good.
Something like $35 (plus tip, which was usually $20) would get me a beverage, a paraffin hand dip (nice!), a pre-cut shampoo, an excellent cut which always matched up with my intent (if not my clumsy instructions), a post-cut shampoo and conditioner, some light product...and often a scalp massage and mini-facial tossed in for good measure, depending on whether the stylist was of a mood and had some time.
If I could find a local, non-chain operation which offered this kind of service, I'd pay a bit more to enjoy it. That is a true story.
Mild (mild!) complaints: the movie posters used as wall art looked like they came from a sale bin, just picked at random by someone looking for "guy stuff." Spiderman and LOTR posters didn't really jibe with the feel of the rest of the place. Of course, the TV was showing Twilight, so... And the magazines could've used a little more curating, maybe. But whatever, I never had to wait more than a few minutes, so no big deal.
