It is much safer to put the club in a vise before cutting the grip.
Alternate Methods

Common Mistakes
Nick highlighted four common mistakes. First – shockingly – is using gasoline as a solvent. This is obviously very dangerous.

I need to go get new grips before the season starts, and I've narrowed it down to these three places.
FourWiggle
In my opinion it's too much!! I had a (one) club re gripped a couple of years ago on my way to a tournament because I was out of grips. One GolfPride VDR and installation with tax was $17.50. And I had already pulled my old grip and prepped the shaft. Extortion was the best adjective for that transaction.
Kelco
I'm not sure why you think that putting grips on should be free. If these places are going to have someone spend the time to put your grip on, then they have to build that cost in somewhere. When you purchase the grip, you have just paid the mark-up on the grip, just like you pay the mark-up on any other retail product you buy.

I just had a grip swap on my Scotty Cameron Pro Platinum Del Mar 3 @ Golf Smith. So to remove old grip and install my Pistolero grip (I bought directly from Scotty) it was $.98. I called ahead and inquired and they said $.98 a club. Their main site says $2.99 a club. http://www.golfsmith.com/cm/display?page=cm_lp_cm_services

Galaxy and Dicks charge $2.99 per grip unless they are running a special. My grip of choice back in the day was a tour velvet. My bill always came to $8 and some change whenever if pick up a new club to try. . $5 for the grip and $2.99 install).
Hot Rod 71
Anyone who has experience with removing grips and old tape from 8 or more shafts in one sitting will tell you that $2-$3 per grip is reasonable. I use a heat gun for old tape and most of the time it isn't too much trouble, and its more time consuming than anything. But sometimes its just a huge pain in the a$$.
Graymulligan
I cut my old grips off with a utility knife, add a new piece of tape over the old tape, put some solvent into the grip, swish it around and then pour it on the tape, and slide the grip on. It's literally about as complicated as putting legos together. I've done probbaly a couple hundred grips over the years, and it's never an issue.
