I have a Maltese and a Maltese X, they're wonderful little dogs.

Do they shed?
Mine don't shed at all (well, apparently all dogs shed, but I've never found a hair of theirs).

Also, what's a rough esitmate on price?
I'm not sure how much a Maltese from a reputable breeder costs. Mine are both rescues, one was $100 and the regular adoption price of the rescue I got my other one from is also $100.

And how often do they need to be cut to keep the "puppy cut" look?
I just got my Maltese X a month ago today so I haven't had her groomed yet, but I do notice that my Maltese has to be groomed more often than my Shih tzu X. If you brush your dog every day, I'd probably get it done every 2-3 months.

Good luck, I love the breed!
