Midway through a six week trip, I'm going to need a haircut. Rick says there are more than 20 hairdressers in Vaison-la-Romaine. Can anyone recommend one? I have short hair and need someone who can look at what I have and recreate it an inch or two shorter.

Bring a photo or two of your just cut hair so the stylist knows what the end result is supposed to be.

I’ve been getting my hair cut in France for over forty years. The hairdressers are very well trained; I’ve only once had a bad cut. I suggest you find a salon that looks ok to you and go for it. One note: the Jean Louis David chain trains their hairdressers themselves and to cut using only an electric razor. I refused and insisted on a scissors cut; only one older hairdresser there knew how to do a scissors cut. I avoid this chain now.
The cuts typically take longer and care is given to more detail, layering, etc. You’ll typically have a trainee do your shampoo. FYI, I tip a few euros, 50-centime to one euro for the shampoo and one or two for the cut.
