Sadly, I must agree. I've been going to the same female hairdresser for several years since she's better than most of the others (male and female). I would say that I am satisfied 40% of the time. Finally, I just learned how to trim my own hair using a trim comb device that holds 2 double-edged razor blades. That, plus a Braun beard trimmer with adjustable guards, does a much better job. The hardest part is getting my back, blunt cut line level. I do return to my stylist to have the back touched up. Soon, I will start doing cut-ins on my hair systems. I hate relying on professionals for unpredictable cuts.
