- RMRina McCarthyAug 15, 20251.0Very rude , 2/3 staff had bad attitudes. Poor first impression. Very rude about walk in appointment. Not friendly at all. Stylist seemed annoyed that my 5 year old couldn’t keep her head straight. Stylist didn’t want to cut my child’s hair to my request. Recommend going to kid friendly salon next time. Would love a refund for the poor service.
