I usually like this one but it's ruined for me now. I came in for a haircut not a lecture on how unhealthy my hair is. I already knew it was badly damaged and needed help. I did not ask for advice. I felt like the girl I had was judging me for my damaged hair and giving me a lecture on how to fix it. She had an attitude the entire time and it felt like she was trying to argue with me. I pretended it didn't bother me because I'm not gonna piss off the person doing my hair but it was unprofessional to push a lecture on someone who did not ask for your professional opinion! She also tried to tell me if I put any color on my hair that the ends would break off. I colored it two hours later and I had zero breakage so clearly her unwanted advice wasn't even accurate. I will not be coming back. I will find a different great clips to go to.
