I have a very simple haircut. 1/2 inch of the bottom and trim the bangs. Easy right?! When that was done, the stylist then sliced off the hair around my face. Hair that had taken many, many, many years to grow in the style that I wanted. Even when I objected and said, “no, no I don’t want you to do that”, she continued. I am so upset!!

I think the stylist was Rocio as that what the receipt said. She's cut my hair twice now I think.
Both times very polite & efficient. Does my hair great.
Hopefully I can choose for her to cut my hair when I go next time if ok as not sure if your allowed to request who cuts your hair.

The Hispanic lady that cut my hair and I explained I had cut about 2 inches off myself and just needed her to even it out. She asked if I wanted layer, I told her yes LONG LAYERS! If I could send a picture of how bad my hair is and it has short layers 21 dollars plus tip for a terrible haircut
