- CWCaleb WildeApr 9, 20261.0Came with a reference photo and asked the lady if it was possible because she seemed unsure but immediately said she could when I said I could go somewhere else. I think part of working in customer service is honesty and she was not honest nor did she listen to what I want. I came in with nice long waves and asked for a trim and she ended up cutting inches off and ruined my months of healthy grown hair. I will not be returning because I can no longer trust your employees to tell me the truth as they seem to no know their own capabilities.
