I got a curly cut and a wash and go by Q, and I’m so happy with the results! Q and the instructor guiding her were both so kind, patient, and professional. They really took the time to understand my hair and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. I felt confident asking any questions I had, and they explained everything so clearly. The atmosphere was welcoming, and I truly appreciated the care they put into my hair. To anyone who wants to support students while also getting their hair done at an affordable price, I definitely recommend coming here especially getting serviced by Q or Brie or honestly anyone they’re all so talented. I’ll be back for sure!
