They provided a wonderful experience. At first I had blonde highlights added in. I could not have been happier! In fact, I went back two weeks later to get my whole head dyed blonde. 4/5 stars though because they didn't end up doing my whole head and left a decent portion on the back and sides without, for sake of ease

Can't tell hair has even been cut. Stylist could only do half the job due to lack of training. Other members of staff rude and made me feel very uncomfortable.
