Salon overall eh. They offered everyone else tea or coffee, not me. Do not see Jean for weave. Jean took 4 hours to do a sew in. Jean had me late for work. Jean can NOT do sew ins, wigs, cuts, bangs or anything with extensions. Jean had me out here with my tracks showing and created new methods of doing hair while in my head. I refer to that as "PLAYING IN MY HEAD OR EXPERIMENTING ON ME" Do not let Jean lie to you and have you looking crazy. DO NOT DO IT!
