The 2 ladies that cut hair a very friendly nice an I trust them to cut my hair that's almost up to my knees 😁
- Price: $20–40
Cut my hair too short and rushed me out as soon as someone else came in. She was in such a rush she left my hair uneven and scoffed when I asked if she was going to blow dry. She didn't want to cut my hair she should have said no. The moment she see her regular client come she botched my hair cut my hair was long up to my waist.
They cut my hair to profection. The price is good as well.
So I called before I came. I was promised that I would get a haircut. I told Maria what time I would be showing up. I showed up and she has 2 clients ahead of me. She tells me. I need to wait which I told her over the phone I couldn't. I thought she understood that no good service. She will go ahead and take someone in front of you without regard to your time. Don't waste your time here
Ok I've gotten a lot of cheap haircuts. But I've never really gotten unprofessional haircuts. I was really disappointed in A1. First, I've never been sat down in a station that wasn't cleaned up between customers. I was sitting there with the last customer's hair all over the floor and chair, hair still in the scissors and towel on the counter. It was quite gross. Then the hair was just cut straight across and that was it. I've never seen professional haircutters not point cut so the hair falls correctly instead of bending every which way on the ends. I've given myself better cuts. Even for a 'you get what you pay for' cut, this was a bad experience.
I asked for haircut on my daughter's hair, which they washed it but not blow dry. Once getting home I noticed that Paloma doesn't know how to cut hair, my daughter's hair is shorter on one side and in the back of her hair there's uneven spots. Not coming back!
