I've been going to Gary for my haircuts for a while now. He's a very professional hairstylist and is always easy to talk to. He keeps detailed records of my haircut preferences and consistently does an excellent job. Gary is also very patient and receptive to suggestions, especially when my husband comes with me and points out minor adjustments.
I always look forward to my appointments with Gary because I know he'll get my haircut exactly right.
Thank you, Gary, for your great service.
Your happy customer,
Carol
