Brother, every single time I have gone to get my hair cut here in the past, I have time and time again been met with the most disappointing experience: my hair being cut exactly NOT how I’ve wanted it. No matter how explicit I am about how I want my hair done, it seems that Salons like this anywhere have not been able to satiate my needs for a fresh cut. I’ve had to resort to my brother personally cutting my hair instead of going through the catastrophe that is going to a hair salon.
