- LLLizNov 13, 20251.0I’m HIGHLY disappointed by the haircut I received yesterday. First off, I told Charmaine I wanted bangs across my face and that frame it and wanted my hair trimmed. I did not get what I asked for whatsoever. It had been a long time since I’d gone anywhere to get my hair done, so I told her she could go pretty much however short she needed and that I wanted all my dead ends off. Charmaine was so sweet and I could tell that she was trying, but my hair has never been this lopsided in my whole life. And I’ve always had either my mom or myself do my hair, so it’s BAD. I was so upset and irritated I still left a tip, but I definitely cried afterwords.
- DNDeborah NormanOct 23, 20251.0Worst haircut ever way to short can't do anything with it . I showed the girl the cut I wanted no where near it.
- KSKimberly ScarboroughSep 18, 20251.0Didn’t cut enough the first time and then got butchered 3 weeks later
- JOjohn obelenusSep 18, 20252.0Can never seem to get the same person twice - must be ahigh turnover. Once I find someone who does a good job, I'd like to keep using that person...
- CMChad McGaheeJul 5, 20251.0This company has the most idiotic mailer I received today. A coupon for 7.99 haircut, awesome, upon reading the only location it's valid at is in Columbia. Who is the world would drive an hour when there's one 5 miles away. Who mails the flyers out, Stevie Wonder??? No wonder no one walks through the door. Need someone to take over operations for marketing. I nominate myself.
