My hairdresser (I wish I had asked for her name) was very friendly and did exactly what I requested (given the reference was a haircut from a video). The price was reasonable as well!

I came in this evening and had my hair cut by Janelle. Let me just say she was the sweetest person ever. She listened to what I wanted, we had great conversation, and reminded me that I need to do something for ME. GO SEE HER!!!!!
