- LClauren cernosekDec 17, 20255.0I had midas, which iwas very happy about that because he had the best reviews. He was very honest about how dead the end of my hair was and suggest taking 2-3 inches off BUT said he would take any amount i wanted off (i went in there asking for only 1/2 an inches). I ended up doing the two inches and face framing he suggested and so far are happy with the results. I like that he explained everthing he was doing and why.
