I know that this company does not have a great reputation but honestly I go out of my way to come here. They have great customer service and I really feel like they listen to what your asking for. My only complaint is the price but that's something I can't hold against this location or the staff accountable for. I prefer this place over the Mexican places at mercado de los cielos tonbe honest. (I am Mexican) It's just that in comparison this place is much better all around. I also really like the way you can check in online prior to arrival, like a doctor's appointment. Also it helps that they keep a history of what you asked for last visit. This touch makes it a bit more personal and like they really care to make your experience better.

It was my first time going there, and I asked for a low taper fade. But somehow they even messed that up, I paid $21 for that cut, all I did was waste time and money. I don't recommend going there even for a small change, I'm never going back again.
