Very nasty manager named Jamie , turned down cutting ethnic hair . She don’t know any one’s story I could have been a recovering Cancer patient with a wig on . Jamie Stood over the stylist to ensure they would not touch my hair due to my texture . Will be reporting this woman she has a very nasty attitude to match .I was checked in as a Guest and told to come back to be serviced and was actually getting my hair cut . Then Jamie came over to stop the stylist and stood there and waited for me to leave the business without having a completed service after the tech started on my hair not once did anyone tell me I could not be serviced due to the texture of my hair so what a major inconvenience. And humiliation to stop the stylist from doing my hair . I’ll be calling my attorney
