2nd bad haircut I have received. I go every 2 weeks. 1st time, I was contacted by "corporate" I think, and apologized, and said they would send me a card for a free haircut. I never received it. This time I did not report. Left side of my head had a ledge, right side has loose hairs sticking out. I will continue to go, just because it's simple, but dont recommend going if you care how your hair looks.
