Texted for an appointment, pretty much got told No. No alternative day/time offered, didn't respond until late in the day. I wasn't even looking for anything last minute. Won't be calling/texting them again.

Abby is highly knowledgeable about curly hair and perms, my hair looks amazing after she styled it and she gave me many tips/tricks that I wish I had known sooner! I would definitely recommend her if you are looking to get a perm.
