Well fortunately I didn't have that problem. I cut my piece with kitchen scissors to about 4", attached it, and walked into the salon and asked to have a great sylist. When I told them it was a wig they seemed a little weirded out, but not too bad, and I just went "yeah, it's not much different than cutting someone else's hair, you just have to blend the side hair with the hairpiece hair with blending shears, you're able to blend hair right?" I come off right away saying it's no different effort-wise, then they have no grounds to really argue that they should charge extra. I argue right off the bat that it's just a haircut. I mean, the thing is 4" when I walk in and I want it cut to 2". wtf? Why would that be such big deal?
