- JDJeremy dSep 19, 20251.0I got some really bad haircuts at this Michigan city store
- MAMatt AndersonAug 20, 20251.0Tawana was absolutely awful, from when I first came into the store it was dirty. When I sat down, she started to get on her phone then put a AirPod into her ear and then continued to go back onto her phone. While cutting my hair, she was unprofessional by dancing to her music along with singing in my ears. Her work station was very unsanitary. She was also aggressive with cutting my hair. She uses her kids clippers instead of owning another pair for work. The same pair of clippers she was using was causing minor pain because it has some kind of damage to actual blade. When I was paying, she immediately said it was $20 and she wasn’t even near the register. I asked for a receipt because I disgusted on how she was towards me. And she handed me the receipt with an attitude and walked away. Do not get your haircut with this stylist. She works at the Michigan City location. She’s very rude.
