Bree was very good about listening to how I wanted her to cut my hair. She offer a couple of suggestions which I quickly agreed to. Great cut, very accommodating and very pleasant to talk with.

I understand not that one bad stylist is define a place or company, but if you're going to go, make sure you're not getting Christin. When we came in she was very condescending and judgmental of my current hair. (I have alternative style hair with an undercut and a dye job) The entire time I was in the chair she was complaining about myself, herself and her coworker/owners/job.
Last time I came in (June of last year) I got a wolf cut. I went to the same place and had a different stylist but they were able to do it no problem. When I asked her for a touch up on these she told me it was not possible to do because my hair was too long and the undercut needed to be grown out.
I told her that was fine and then just asked for a simple trim. Well instead of a trim I got a butchered chop with 6 1/2 inches of my hair cut off. And the cut itself? Took less than less than 10 minutes and that looked like a kindergartner that found scissors in a bathroom. Instead of listening to me just saying we can do the trim. She made a sad attempt at whatever she thought was a wolf cut.
I walked out of there hysterical, and then I went back in and I asked for my money. She haphazardly gave me the money back and I had turned to the other (absolutely amazing) stylist and asked if she could fix it. Christin then snapped back that we could either get a refund or get my hair fixed but we couldn't get both. Then double down and said she didn't see anything wrong with my hair. (Although everyone else could clearly see what was wrong) Because one lady saw my hair and walked out of the store before even getting a cut.
The other stylist was able to cut my hair and style it to the best of her ability, but the damage had already been done. I lost a third of my hair and I'm still trying to figure out how to properly style it so it doesn't look like pure breakage.
If you're going to go, definitely don't go on Thursdays when she's working and make sure you don't have a stylist named Christi. I'm sure the rest of the stylists are great as one bad Apple tends to ruin the bunch. And I don't know her name but the other stylist did amazing. She was supportive and she was helpful, and actually cared. but I will definitely never be going back.
