- CHConi HNov 20, 20251.0I wish I could give this place a zero. So many things wrong. I wasn't even in the chair for a full 10 minutes. Girls here either don't care, or don't know what their doing. Husband and I went for both hair cuts. I said I didn't want much cut. Just split ends. She cut way to much, didn't even cut it even, and it looks like it was cut with a buzz razor. Not to mention the complete lack of professionalism. No greeting. Just "check in? Names?" Walk away. Felt more like a drill sergeant then a salon. On top of that: the girls mocking a PREGNANT woman for how she walks outside when passing the store and her size? Are you kidding me? One girl literally said "She's huge!" The attitude of this place could not care less. Just get in, get it done, get paid. Never returning.
