The heads don't necessarily need to be resurfaced when you change the head gaskets unless you think they may be cracked. They should be resurfaced every time the gaskets are changed, but you can get by without resurfacing them.

Where is the head gasket located on a 2000 Saturn SL2?

Between the engine block and the cylinder head. Saturns are all overhead cam engines. If you haven't worked on one before, don't. You'll need to take it to the dealer or a reputable shop to have the head gasket replaced and the cylinder head resurfaced. Generally, head gaskets only fail if the engine has overheated. Engine fluids are important and need to be maintained properly.
