I’ve had two great haircuts here but I attribute that to the lady that cut my hair. I had three haircuts at Braeside and was disappointed with every one of them so it’s not the facility; It’s the person cutting your hair.

This haircut was probably the worst 26 dollars I have spent, I have never had someone cut my hair as lop sided as this hair cut was, the lady just dug right into my hair with the trimmers not having any care in the world about blending the hair into the top of my head like I asked got home and now there are lines of missed hair all over my head, when I say it was a waste of 26 dollars I seriously mean it, the lady was coughing over my head. Did not wet my hair, knicked me with the shaver over 4 times, she was obviously sick while she was doing it and didn't have clean utensils at all. 10 out of 10 will never come back to this location, and now I look terrible and feel horrible about my hair
