Worst cut I’ve ever had! I asked for a trim of my long layers and ended up with a fringe forced upon me. Not sure how you can do that to someone - no ...understanding of thick hair with a soft curl! She was distracted picking out new studio wall colors with her interior designer.. two star only for the lovely lady who gave a great hair wash
