I work as a hairstylist and makeup artist for anything and everything you could imagine. A typical work-week can be special events, photo shoots, commercial production, makeup & styling lessons and more. Ask me anything!
Every hair type is a bit different and probably the one closest to your own is the easist to deal with since that is what you have the most experience with. With training and knowledge any hair texture can be manageable. You just have to know the right tools and products.
Because most of my business is special events, corporate events, commercial advertising I don't have too much of an issue with that. My contract/service agreement requires (non-corporate) clients to pay prior to the service. So, if they didnt pay, I don't do the service. My contract has a returned check fee, that has only happened twice and they promptly submit the payment with the fee. Bouncing checks isn't legal so people will pay up when they do that. These days I accept credit card or cash on location so that I don't have to run that risk. I never have a problem with my corporate clients, except that it takes them FOREVER to pay.
If you have a relationship with your stylist, meaning you see the same person regularly, that shouldn't be an issue. You should both have the same idea of what an inch is. Also, there are times when you may need more off , if you haven't been to get a cut in 6+ month. If that is the case, your stylist should stop you when you say and inch and explain where the end result will be if they take off what they think you need to lose. Do not get up and go to the shampoo bowl if you are not on the same page. Make sure that you are both in agreement of the where the length will be when you are done. Sometimes, people have different expectations of what an inch means. You can try to use a different frame of reference, like you want it above/below your shoulders or right at the collar bone. You should agree on where that is.
That depends on where you work. I am self employeed so I approve of my own tattoos. But if your clientele is more conservative, you may have to cover them up a bit. Typically hairdressing has a bit more creative freedom so it isnt an issue.

Why are so many developers such bad communicators?I don't talk anyone out of or into anything. But I would not just chop before I asked some questions on what was driving her to make this decision. I have turned away many a woman who was freaking out about break up or some thing else like that. I just tell them to come back in 3 days and if they still want it we will do it. If this woman with waist length hair is cutting it all off because she is in chemo and knows she will lose it anyway, then we go for it. Basically, its a case by case decision.
I like Cetaphil (lotion and cleanser) for my basic routine. They are dermatologist recommended, really gentle, a nice price point and available at CVS or Walgreens. I just made 2 videos on winter skin care tips, you can see those on my youtube channel here http://youtu.be/YmKtt20aSMA and here http://youtu.be/auAbG0ARrFM
Shorter is better for giving the illusion of density. The more length there is, it tends to flatten out.
