I called yesterday and was told that I could be there in 20 min. I got there only to find a nice gentleman who barely spoke English, told me they were closed.

She called once to say she'd be there in 20 min....then she called to say she nor her niece could make it! Oh and could I come back tomorrow? When I said no she hung up on me!!! TOTAL DUMP AND UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! CLEAN UP YOUR FAKE ESTABLISHMENT!

She even said that the hair was “too short” and still decided to braid it even though it was clearly NOT MEANT TO BE BRAIDED. I spent a year growing my hair out and now my hairline is patchy and swollen...read full review
