Hairstylists -- do you have one or many?

It seems like there are an awfully lot of stories on here about a woman going to a salon for a minor trim and ending up with a major and often severe short haircut! I suppose it could happen, but it seems unlikely to me.However, it sounds like most of these situations happened when someone decided more-or-less on the spur of the moment to get a trim as she passes a mall salon or something similar like that. In other words, it happened with a stylist who didn't usually cut her hair.My question: Do you have one stylist who is *your* stylist? Or do you simply make an appointment with the first available stylist you encounter in a mall or happen to catch on the phone?I personally have one stylist but if for some reason I went elsewhere, I would make darned certain I were paying close attention to what he was doing since the stylist would be unfamiliar with my hair and to avoid some unpleasant situtations that have apparently occurred to others!
