when I get my hair cut how do I get good service?

First off I would like to thank the yahoo answers community for the response on dining out and how to get better service THANKYOU.

Now When I go get my hair done I go to the same place it is in a mall. I do not expect them to exactly remember me due to the fact that they're is a bit higher turn over rate. I do not expect the best treatment. But I have gone there for 3 years now and I do remember the core of the staff that works there(they have been there and still remain).

The problem I'm having is that when I do visit them every six weeks or so. They really lay on the grease with a bad attitude about me being there. I suspect that mabey the management might have been people I have know or some type of bullying. I live in a smaller town so there is not many options of places for a man to get there hair cut or bleached. I have tried some place and they will let me know that they can do it. But firmly recommend me to try somewhere else because they don't do men's hair.

So I go to the mall deal with there attitude the full brunt of it most of the time I don't look like cutting edge type of man exactly..but I smile the whole time pay close attention to what they say give them the truth about where I live and what I do...I like to be honest and try to work with people. And by the time it is over and time to pay. I 90 percent of the time give them whatever the cost of the hair cut or bleach job cost. minus 5 to 10 dollers in a tip. Example 21 doller haircut= 15 doller tip EXAMPLE: 49 doller bleach job = 35 doller to 40 doller tip. I do this because i have lived in much bigger cities and this service and average double the cost of what is being charged to me here like a 300 doller bleach job or a 60 doller haircut.

They thank me I do not get personal at that moment or take advantage of the moment that I tip. I'm just thankful. But that does not change that fact that each time I come in there they act like they have never seen me there before and don't want me there, but will deal with it.

I am pretty sure giving 80 percent tips is good enough...mabey they know that men will have to go there to have there hair cut or something because the town is not so big. But I have been going there for years now and the same people are treating me this way.

What should I do to get my hair cut and bleached? Get better service without making them mad or losing the ability to get my hair cut at all? This can't be how professionals act at all. I don't want special treatment..... but I'm not gonna play into the idea that the person that pays the most money needs to get treated like S#&!....What do I do? I don't know how to cut my own hair It feels like harassment?
