or just cut yourself. its really not that hard to fade your own head. you may need some mirrors and a someone to tell you if you mess up. seriously, i was in the same boat as you when i moved to my new school. i went to 3-5 different barbers, shelling out 20 bucks to have a jacked up hair cut, and some lady cut my neck with the razor cuz she dug into my neck. so i was like screw it, i will learn to do it myself. or you could find a friend to do it, which would be easier.
