- DGDawn GillmanJan 1, 20263.0Hair was cat a little too short.
- SRSammi RodgersDec 20, 20255.0Workers are so awesome
- ASAmy SchultzNov 20, 20255.0Michelle was the best. My 7 yr old grandson was a handful to deal with and she was patient and tried everything and anything to calm him down. She gave him a hug and let him sit on his mom's lap during the haircut which did not at all look easy to cut his hair. She still did it and did an amazing job with the hand she was dealt. 10/10 recommend her for any age. Michelle thank you so much for helping us today. 11/20/35 530pm
