- HWHB Rawlins WillsNov 9, 20255.0So far so good, been there three times going on 4. Prices for haircut anywhere you go is crazy so I don't tip no more, sorry but the tip gotta be in the price also, just saying...
- DHDebbie HernandezSep 27, 20255.0My daughter and I have curly hair & it was hard to find a knowledgeable person that knows the different curl patterns and how to cut to get a beautiful curl. Kathy knows her curls.👍
- MIMiss IslamSep 1, 20251.0Put my name in the queue As the site and Q said they were open till four today, and came from North Long Beach to Downey for my check in time and ride as I was pulling up they closed the door. I went up to the door and the lady tried to shoot me away, but I kept insisting and showed her my phone that I was in the queue and it said to go in now and she said that they close at three she doesn’t know why it said for but they close at three so they are closed. I told her my name was in the queue. I showed her and I asked if she could just take me since I came from North Long Beach and she said no she could not, and she would have to let the manager know because she doesn’t know why it is showing They close at 4 o’clock. This is so unspeakably annoying as I was really counting on this And made the trip over. Couldn’t they have called me if I was showing up in their queue to let me know that there was an error because she seemed to be aware that there was an error showing that they closed at four instead of three.
- GGGrace GomezAug 24, 20251.0The lady that cut my son’s hair today looks really BAD. She’s done in 5 mins WTH! Even my eldest son doesn’t like going here now He cry after cuz the lady doesn’t cut his hair the way he wants it.
