haircutter who does a nice job for child with stick-straight hair

I'm seeking a haircutter for my 8-year-old boy, who has stick-straight hair. It's very hard to find someone who does a good job with this and makes it actually look like a haircut, rather than just been chopped off. We're in Temescal so the place needs to be very local. Thanks!

Go to Lisa's Beauty Center in the Emeryville mall with the Trader Joe's (5711 Christie is the address). It's a nail salon but they cut hair. Ask for Andrew-he's the only one the has always done a good job. It's cheap- $10/15 and you can get your nails done if you are into that sort of thing. 

My son also has very straight hair (it's thick and course too) and we had the same problem with the chopped-off look.  We resorted to buzz cuts until he was old enough to object, and then suffered through some awful haircuts at various Supercuts.  Then my Asian friend suggested finding a salon that specializes in Asian hair.  My son now goes to Juni Salon in Oakland which "offers the latest cuts from Japan and Korea" - he gets a fantastic haircut every time. It's near you on Telegraph in Koreantown. http://junisalon.com/
