Left after having a very poor experience related to being unsatisfied with my haircut, and during the entire haircut, two of the salon workers were arguing with each other, and it made it incredibly uncomfortable to be in the salon. To “rectify this experience” they offered me a 5$ coupon. Disrespectful and myself and my family will not be back.

Came in for a haircut, had never been to this location. The lady seemed mad I came in and was giving attitude the entire time. She wasn't approachable or friendly. Made a mess of my hair, awful experience. Do not go to this location.
