- JFJoe FurrerSep 13, 20255.0Quick and easy!
- PDPrecious DzinesJul 12, 20251.0I took my son to get a haircut with Lili after hearing good things, but unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The cut was uneven and not at all what we asked for—just before his birthday. It was clear she lacked the skill and confidence for the style we requested. Thankfully, the manager stepped in and did a better job fixing his hair.
