My hair cut get messed up . So I went back to talk to manager .. Manager Chris ask me to sit until he finished other person hair .. I said fine . But after that he just give me to someone else to fix it and run back inside and start smoking. When I ask to talk to manager to file complaint. He start yelling and ask me to get out of store . He scared out my family . I try to stay calm he almost scare me that he will punch me. Even though I stay calm and ask politely can you fix my hair and he refuse to do it. If
I can talk to owner or someone hire up. This kind of behavior is not appropriate from great clip. I want justice and apology I feel like he is racist that’s reasons he is refusing
