Pretty much get what you pay for. I paid 8 bucks and it looks like it too. I keep my hair pretty short and because of this the mistakes stand out. Unfortunately I was too far from the mirror while there and didn't notice the differences in lengths and levels till I got home. But then again, maybe my head was tilted during the haircut. I wish I had been more attentive and the stylist been more on top of her game. I tipped way too much.
