STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Since I have been pregnant I've noticed that I don't style my hair, i.e. blow it dry and straighten it and wear it down, as often as I used to b/c I don't have as much energy carrying this baby around and I am always running late in the morning (due to the fact that my sleep is always interrupted each night, I'm always feeling sleep deprived so I have to sleep more).  As such, I've decided that I would try this idea:  I would go to a lower end, mediocre salon and get a wash and blow dry once a week, preferably on Fridays so that it would be nice for when I go out to dinner that night, etc.  However, I have very little experience with lower end salons (sorry if that sounds a bit pretentious) and I have no idea which ones to stay away from and which ones might offer a good service at a decent price.  I would never get a cut there of course, just a blow dry which I think most stylests can do pretty well, even at the cheap salons (I'm thinking).

So, what do you all think of this idea?  Any suggestions on cheaper chain salons I could try?  Supercuts (eww?)?  Hair Cuttery?  Toni and Guy?  Asian salons?  I'd like to keep the price around $20-25, since I am going to be doing this weekly.  Please let me know your thoughts!  Thanks!
