My 18 year old son went in with hair halfway down his back wanting to get it cut to his shoulders. He had a picture of what he wanted, it was even a pic of himself rather than someone else, so we know it works for his hair type. He came home really upset, his hair is SHORT, not even collar length. Worse yet, the top is way too long and he kinda looks like a mushroom. He’s on his way back to have someone else there do what they can to fix it. Obviously they can’t give him the length back but he can’t walk around like he is. His hood is up at the moment.

If I could give less than one star I would. The stylist that I sat down with to start my haircut was extremely rude and short. Started off with an attitude immediately because I was trying to put into words what I wanted for my haircut. She kept speaking over me every time I tried to answer her question. I told her I didn't want her business. For the stylist if you can see this you're attitude goes a long way instead of talking to me like I'm an idiot.

Terrible haircut, apparently the woman(tattoos, bigger, acts punk) that cut my hair doesn't know what fade means, one side looked like a bowl cut, the other short enough it looked like a fade, I'll cut it myself and do a better job.
