I liked my haircut, it was my first time there, friendly staff, didn't wait even 5 minutes, when I was attended and my hair was started on.
Only reason for 1 star less, I was left with so much loose small hair all over my clothes and my own head, had loose long hairs, lots of it, I get it, I'm there for a haircut (I had tipped on my haircut too) but I had only realized the mess I had when I had already left.
