Causative in the future

Hello,


I'm studying English, but today I had a doubt and my teacher didn't understand me.

I learnt that the structure have/get + object + past participle, could be an arrangement involving another person, like I had my haircut.

And also, I learnt that "going to" is an action that I 100% sure, and "will" is a suddenly decision or not sure.

So, my question is : when I'm talking about an arrangement in the future can I say that :

I'll have my haircut.

And

I'm going to have my haircut.


If both is correct, are there some difference?

Or I have to use only one?
