Finding a place to get one's hair done.

So, I've come to the conclusion I need to get something done about my hair, and the supercuts down the road has only made it worse the past 3 times. Drastic times call for finding someone who's IQ is above room temperature to cut my hair.
My problem: Who the crap do I go to?
I really dont think the old school 80 year old barber that my grandfather went to, the one with a striped pole outside his shop, is going to be able to give me the modern look i desire.
And Im questioning how many shops with the world 'salon' in their name cater to young males.
So, how the heck is a guy supposed to find a place to get his hair cut/styled/whatever manly word there is for this crap because man, i am confused as heck, this shouldnt be this complicated.
alt- if by a slim chance anyone here actually lives in Newport News, VA, and knows a place, that'd be awesome.
But so would be winning the lottery

Remember that part of hair maintenance is using product appropriate for the style. A salon will likely try to sell you some of their own stuff (at a premium) but find out what kind of product they're trying to sell you (e.g., molding creme, pomade) and then get an equivalent at the store for less if you want to save a buck.
what kind of cut and style are you looking for?
If they say they themselves cut it, try try again.
I found my awesome hairdresser via word of mouth and I've used him for 2 years now. You should be prepared to hate your haircut, too, so you can just let the hair dresser do whatever they think is going to make you look good. If you don't like it, you don't go back.

I'm not entirely sure. Since I was 12, my motto has been, "Oh, I had to brush it today, time to shave most of it off" and that noise doesnt fly anymore. I was told be a friend of the female variety to try the messy/tussled/I just woke up look, which Im more than willing to give a shot.
Same boat here although it's a little more expensive and always leave a nice tip. She knows exactly what I want when I come so there's no dealing with explaining how you want your hair cut to a new person every month. There's no longer any stigma attached to a male visiting a hair salon anymore. Just man up and check out a few places locally. Find one that charges a decent price and start there. If you don't like the way your hair comes out? Try another place. If it comes out how you want it? Tip well and come back every month.

If you can't get any recommendations from friends, try Yelp - they do online local reviews and I've found them pretty helpful for hair places and restaurants. For the hair places, skim the reviews for guys that are doing the reviewing. Then look for the particular name of the stylist in the review (if the reviewer listed one.)
25 bucks, but came with a shampoo/styling. Was a good deal, my hair hasnt looked this good in forever. Also spent 21 bucks on sumo tech styling wax.
