- NSNelson SosaDec 18, 20255.0Its always a great experience when I get my haircut and beard trim. Today was special cuz some dude came in very abrasive asking how much a haircut was and the ladies here welcomed him and said hello and asked if he made an appointment online. This man was rude to these ladies and they handled him very professionally.

- SASara AlgahimOct 22, 20251.0I went to the hair salon today, and the woman who greeted me was very rude and treated me unfairly. She ignored me and took another customer who came after me, which made me feel disrespected. So, I left the place and went to another salon.
