It depends the kind of thing that you want. My last haircut was a drastic change, I had most of it cut off, and being new to the area, I just had to guess who would be good. Turns out I chose well as one of the other girls working there commented on how 20s it looked (I hadn't mentioned anything about wanting a 'vintage' cut) which made my day.
Anyway, my tip is to go to where the old ladies go!! Especially if there is an 'older' hairdresser, they'll have more of an idea on what to do if you're going for the full works, shampoo & set etc etc.
