- RCRaju kumar chaudhariOct 27, 20251.0Don’t go to this place! The people there are unprofessional and incompetent. Today, I went to get my hair cut, and they left patches of hair all over me. They even cut my ear! It’s bleeding right there. I noticed that they didn’t clean the blade or any other equipment they used. They just put it back in without cleaning it. This place is unprofessional and unhygienic.
