Called at the last min to see if anyone could braid my daughter’s hair and they happily said come on over. When I got there, they said the credit card machine had just went down and unfortunately I did not have cash on me and so we were going to leave until Aracely volunteered to do it for no charge! So awesome of her to offer! She wouldn’t even let me Venmo her. Did an excellent braid for my daughter! Super sweet of her as she did not have to do that! 🙌🏼

I wanted a short haircut with bangs and my stylist completely messed up my bangs. I now have to wear a beanie throughout the season and hope my hair is back to normal by spring. Will not ever be returning

You guys butchered my besties hair and he's so upset. He says he now has to wear a hat for the rest of this season and you're lucky it's fall going into winter! The fact he even paid is beyond me!!!! Why would anyone make him look the way you did? He is devastated and pissed!
