I usually got good haircuts from this great clips, but the older lady I had that cut my hair kept interrupting me and chopped up my hair giving me thick bangs and short layers that don’t work with my hair texture. I wish I caught her name because it worried me how much different products she put in my hair because other people’s hair was “hard to brush.”
