Very disappointed I did a trim straight across that was fine but I asked for curtain bangs and they did regular bangs cut down to my cheek bone then I told them how I usually have it done and they “fixed it” was very choppy and not blended but didn’t want them to make it even shorter so I am getting it fixed somewhere else and I also took my brother and they made him look like Lord far quad and was super choppy don’t recommend if you want something more specific and they are not gentle they kept hitting my ear when combing my hair and I have never had that happen before

They don't do a good enough job to accept a fee. I went out of convenience. They don't care or don't know how to do a good job. They leave things crooked. They don't clean up and cut hair with attention to detail. Real quick sloppy haircuts. Haircuts we pay for then have to go home and fix ourselves. There's no reason to go to great clips then.
