Sounds like they cut in to high in your head. They really shouldn't start doing it until past the shoulders. It's more or less where my first layer starts and I don't have much taken, but I can get such a rat's nest in the back of my head where my curly hair meets the straight hair on top that I try to get rid as much of that area as I can without it looking like it. Plus that is another thing I like about the school. The teacher is right there and if they try to cut to high or something the teacher is like *snatch scissors* I've only had that once though XD Rather then when I went to a salon and the lady was so concerned with something other then my hair (really her mean boss that just yelled at her so I felt bad/awkward as it was) but yeah she paid no attention to how I said I wanted it.

Oh man the pool does kill my hair, I hate to say it because I am sure my park hates it but I always leave conditioner in it to protect it a little before I go in XD
