HORRIBLE HAIR CUT - good STYLE

I just got the worst hair cut in my life from the stylist Jackie. First of all, I specifically said DO NOT cut my hair short. They cut your hair dry at this place so you have no idea what is going on.The woman who washed my hair then styled it so what was the point of paying Jackie THE SUPPOSED STYLIST? The woman GIN who styled my hair did a good job styling it. I would not spend a penny on a haircut at this place- they do not have a special technique for a haircut only for styling!
