Haircuts and Magnetic Sheets

Two unrelated questions:

= I'm looking for a cheap wash+cut. I have places I like for styling, but I'm still in my post-partum hair loss stage and I just want a trim of my existing cut to hopefully get things a little more under control. We have in close range a SuperCuts, GreatCuts, and Hair Cuttery, all of which have $15 wash & cuts. Which is best? Are any to be avoided?

= Where nearby do you think would have rolls of magnetic sheeting? 8.5x11 won't be large enough. I've tried a smattering of hardware and art supply stores to no avail. (Alternately, if you have some large sheets or a roll that you're willing to part with for love or money, let me know.)

Thanks!
