Careless, low skilled haircut. She didn't even show me the back, didn't offer to put any product in. The price they charge is not even justifiable. Don't know why I gave a tip, was not earned in any way.
Mens, womens, kids and senior haircuts as well as bang, neck and beard trims. Other haircare services include shampoo, blow dry, or hair styling such as an updo. Select salons offer perm services.
