- RDRori DyalNov 15, 20255.0My mom and I have been coming here to the rim location to see Allie since March. My brother is not the most social and does not like many people (he is 3) she got down on the floor with him and played with him until he was ready to sit in the chair. Even then he screamed a lot and she was so patient and loving to him.we will only be going to her. She’s does such a great job at cutting my siblings hair even when they are moving.
