- CCChristopherOct 20, 20253.0Walked in at 8:02 am this morning, third in line. At 8:19 am with 7 or so people in the que, three people in front and an 86 min. wait time, one of the two stylists goes into the back with her Starbies order and takes a breakfast/coffee break. Got a nice hair cut from the other gal but that really ticked me off. 19 minutes into open? Come on.
