- BLB L4 days ago5.0Marlo cut my hair, she did a great job. Walked in and was in chair in less than 3 minutes.
- CWC WDec 9, 20251.0The girl with the green hair has about as much personality as an old shoe. She cut my 3 years old hair and could not have behaved more annoyed to be doing her job. My child was literally just sitting in the chair and she acted to so bothered to have to tell him to lean his head down. She was so rude. She clearly should be working someone that cuts children’s hair.
