To the last review by Davis S. I didn’t cancel your appointment. Management closed the shop down to one day per week at the last minute and failed to notify the clients. As for me smoking, yes I do smoke but not in the building. Come on use some community sense. So before you want to play the blame game and point fingers maybe you should look at the big picture and take a look in the mirror. Who put in you that situation? Hmmmm
