I said I wanted my hair evened out and wanted layers, but that I hate when there is a long, thin, straggly layer underneath and I definitely have that. My hair is completely uneven and ugly, just like it was when she was finished and I asked her why one side was different from the other. She was super nice, but my hair is ruined for now. I'm going to ask for a refund, but I doubt I will get it.
I took my son with curly hair to get a trim not too long ago and, again, she was super nice, but had no idea what she was doing. At one point she had his hair combed upward in the back and was doing something else weird with the front. I had to trim it before he could go back to high school the next day.
