Hannah Burkholder was terrible, she rushed through it, heavy handed with the color brush, felt like needles poking your head, and very sloppy, there were drops of dye flying everywhere and on my face, thank god for the cape. 30 minutes later she came back in pulled the foils off my hair without checking to see if the highlights took, shampooing was uncomfortable, the chair barely reached the sink and I’m tall, she asked how I wanted my hair styled, I said I’ll let it air dry, I was so ready to leave. My right side looks brassy. She wasn’t personable but during I talked about when I would need a redo in the future but I changed my mind, it def won’t be with her after that experience.

I personally feel it was too expensive for what it was. If I'm paying 90$ for a haircut and I book it in advance, they should be ready to start my appointment when I get there but instead they started it over half an hour late. They didn't talk to me while I sat waiting or explain why they were late getting to me and they didn't seem busy. Didn't leave a great impression.
