I think this place really depends on the stylist you get. Usually I only go there to get my bangs trimmed. Make sure you are clear with them about what you want. That said, I have had a couple of stylists there just whacked away at my bangs and didn't leave much, but also have had a few really good ones there too. Pretty affordable, but even these low budget places have gone up in price. Overall, if you don't need your hair done for the Oscars, this is a decent place to have your hair done.
