I needed a last minute appointment for hair extensions as I just got an awful haircut somewhere else that I needed fixing. They booked me in exactly when I needed it, they have the hair extensions in the store, they have so much supply and are very professional and knowledgeable. The man (possibly the owner) who did my hair was so good at it, so fast, and he did NOT have a lot to work with.

On June 30th one of your staff called to confirm an appmt on July 1st @ noon. She asked why her appmt had changed and was told she never had an appmt on July 7th, which I can also confirm she did as I was there when it was booked. We were away for the long
