I'm a wavy with not nearly as much hair, so I can't offer a very knowledgeable response. However, if I want to cut my own hair, I divide my hair in sections; then picking up a little at a time, I trim off the dry, damaged ends.

If you want more than a trim, keep trying to find a salon. Start with getting a trim at a new salon to see how they handle your hair before asking them to cut it in a certain style.

There are plenty of resources of people talking about their hair cuts- just do a site search.
