Pretty unhappy with how they trimmed my beard. The mustache doesn't even connect now. It looks terrible. I showed her a picture of what I wanted too and it looks nothing like it. Horrible.

Got the worst, sloppiest haircut I've ever had.
Would of been nice if my cutter could speak a little English.
Never going back.
