The students are learning and trying their best. An awesome lady spent two and half hours cutting layers into my hair today. She made sure she made it as nice as possible. She gave great conversation and when she wasn't completely sure she made sure to ask for help from an instructor. It's inexpensive to get your hair done here , gives these learning fellows the practice they need to continue on. I recommend coming in for a haircut. I would just keep in mind that you need to be understanding !
