- EHElijah HarrisJul 26, 20251.0I got a haircut yesterday and the lady I had yesterday did not listen to anything I asked or wanted. I left and it looked decent but when I got home to actual inspect it, it was horrible. I will not be returning to this company. I can’t remember her name but it started with an M. Horrible customer service. And it was not worth the 21$ they charge now.
