I usually have a good experience every time I go. On this trip I asked about eyebrows and beards. She said yes to both but then forgets and I have to remind her. She only did eyebrows. I gave up on beard. I get a crew cut every time which is like 5 minutes so it’s not like a lot of time has passed since I asked the question and when it’s time to cut.

I went for a haircut here for the first time. Originally wanted to donate my hair, but had slightly leas than 12 inches, so went with a regular wispy bangs with face framing layers haircut. Sangeeta did a great job! She was patient throughout the process and listened to my needs. Thank you Sangeeta!
