After I started wearing tudung in Mar 2001, haircut was really a problem. I needed a Muslimah Salon. There was only 1 at least on the easter side of S'pore - Salon Khairunissa @ Kembangan Plaza. But it was a hassle to go all the way there from Tampines just for a haircut...and it was costly...just a wash & cut wld cost me at least $50!!! A wash-cut-blow costed me abt $90!!
To save the hassle, the next time, I went to a normal chinese hairdressing salon @ Tampines Telepark. At least it'd be cheaper. But after that visit, I developed a phobia of salons...amidst all the lady hairdressers...when I was given a wash, I got a shock when I saw a chinese Ah-Beng washing my hair!! Eee...even when I wasn't wearing tudung, no men handled my hair!! This one Ah-Beng...wif long nails!! U know what Ah-Bengs use their nails for rite? Digging...everything they cld dig!! Eeee...
Since that day...whenever my hair is long & starts to thin/fall, I just get Mom to trim it abt 1-2 inch. That's how it's been for the past 5 yrs!! Sometime last yr, I learnt that just 10mins away from my block, a new Muslimah Salon opened. Maslin went there to do her hair previously. I'm sick of my 1-length hair & decided to go back to my previous layered hairstyle...and when I told Maslin I wanted to go for a haircut there...she made appt for her ha irdo & accompanied me there (so I cld get a discount since she's a regular!).
We finally went today. To cut a long story short...my hair is shorter now!!! It feels lighter. What's more satisfying is the wash & cut just costed me $23. I'm happy with the cut. Got them to blow it straight (instead of blow-curl) after the cut. 
Afterall, how often can I get to see myself in real straight hair...ala Madhuri in Dil To Pagal Hai!?!? I do resemble Madhuri from the back...but from the front...that's an insult to Madhuri!!
