I actually dont even rate them with one star but had to click on it to write a review. Was my first time there and they set me up with a quack that isnt even listed. He didnt even know what he was doing. Forgot about me in the room for 45 min. A lady came in to see what was going on. He ruined my shoes then I was charged $50 upon leaving for inserts that I was never told I would have to pay for. What a joke!!! DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!
