Hair trimming scissors recommendations

[Denim And Leather]

I've decided to get serious about doing my own dustings and learn how to trim my own hair, since I do not trust any hair stylist to do it for fear of getting scalped. This means I need a really good pair of cutting scissors. I have a pair that I bought from Sallys that I paid $10 for, but they don't stay sharp. Can anyone recommend a good pair that stays sharp, won't rust and won't bust my bank account?

TIA!

I like switchblades, when they get dull you replace the blades (very carefully)and its like new scissors. I think they cost 45$ at Sally's and the replacements are like 8 dollars. hth
