- DSDave StromerOct 16, 20255.0Aurailia always knows just how to cut my hair, and l appreciate her conversation and interaction while she cuts my hair. She always remembers to ask about eyebrows and ears. Just a very nice person and a professional hair stylist.
- NTNick ToyneOct 10, 20251.0You can atleast admit to your mistakes... 25 dollars for this your better of cutting your own hair. These people have no clue what they are doing. Update after talking with the manager they claim it was like this before they even did anything. Absolutely zero accountability or willingness to do anything to make it right. Ask yourself before you go is really worth the risk of this embarrassment of having your hair completely ruined.
