Artistry Salon by Ampy — Local services in South Orange

Warning! Do not let their junior stylists touch your hair!! I had a great hair cut here by Christian in the Spring, but today I saw a different stylist and had a really bad experience. I am not picky about my hair - I have had it cut at a SuperCuts in a Walmart and been totally satisfied. Not today.
