- DEDiego EspinaOct 4, 20251.0I think it's disrespectful that when you arrive, they put you on a two-hour waiting list. They tell you you can leave and that they'll send a message when it's my turn. And when the message arrives and you're in the room, they tell you it's too late and they can't see me.They don't respect people's time.
- SPSheridan PearsonAug 22, 20255.0I (Peyton Pearson) have been having Mimi cut my hair for years now and I never want to change people ever. I am so appreciative of who she is and the job that she does. My wife is always much happier when I come home with a good haircut also! Thank you Mimi for being awesome!
