👍👍 Emily is such a wonderful light for other women and kids! I was very nervous for my first event that she did and the amount of help she provided me was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before! The way Emily loves on women to remind them they have a light and a voice is so special. If you are on...

😠 Front office staff is incredibly disrespectful. One made terrible comments due to a miscommunication. As a former level 10 gymnast with 16 years of experience, this is unacceptable behavior and customer service.

Atomic Kitten Salon
Hair salon
😠 Went in for a touch up to my ombré and a trim with long layers. Received chunky highlights with banding around my head and short uneven layers. I thought about complaining and asking them to fix it but the more I looked at my hair, the less salvageable it looked. I went home and immediately box dyed...

😠 Went there on a field trip with my daughters school. The staff were unhelpful, rude and dismissive. There was trash everywhere.
