Went in with very long hair.. asked for a trim and left with shoulder length hair (I also wear glasses and was asked to remove them so I didn’t see until the end) she cut off over 5 inches. Also wouldn’t stop making backhanded comments about my color that I do myself.
*UPDATE* I’ve literally been crying about my hair all night, I measured it and she cut off 7 inches at my longest point of hair, it used to touch the top of my butt when I tilted my head back now it barely touches the top of my bra.
Mens, womens, kids and senior haircuts as well as bang, neck and beard trims. Other haircare services include shampoo, blow dry, or hair styling such as an updo. Select salons offer perm services.
