Yes, they have long hair and do require high maintance. If you don't want to do the brushing required to keep the coat unmatted you can have her clipped in many different cuts. Some are so cute with the different clips.
I groomed for about 15 years and have done many shih tzus in different ways. Some owners would ask for something different the next time. So we played with different clips until the owners found one they really liked.
If you keep the coat short you can get away with taking the dog to a groomer about every 10 weeks, if you want to keep a particular clip you should take the dog to the groomer every 4 to 6 weeks. So it depends on what you want your dog to look like.

i have a schnauzer/shih tzu cross and i used to spend a fortune getting her clipped - i enrolled in a dog grooming class at my local college and do it myself now - saves a fortune but the down side is that she doesnt speak to me for hours after she is clipped

I agree, shave them! You can do it, you don't have to have a "professional" do it. One thing though, if you get one, keep it's eyes clean....too many people don't realize that irritations occur from the hair or the dirt in the hair around the eyes. Goop then builds up and causes more irritation. And that black line (from eye along nose) that you see many dogs with, especially noticable on white dogs, that's not supposed to be there, it's filth....clean it people!

yes they do have long hair, but the head hair can be put up to keep it out of the eyes, which is a big problem
