Simple. Assured me if it’s not good they can just fix it. Obviously they couldn’t follow the complete instructions the first time and then got mad calling it a “second haircut” for fixing it.
No body’s sitting there and paying to listen to that BS. Should just leave right there and then the moment they say anything close to that.
Mens, womens, kids and senior haircuts as well as bang, neck and beard trims. Other haircare services include shampoo, blow dry, or hair styling such as an updo. Select salons offer perm services.
