- Neutral – “The style didn’t turn out exactly like the picture I showed. When I asked for a fix, the conversation became defensive. I wish customer service was better.”
- Neutral – “Braids were too tight in the front, which caused breakage later. Make sure to request looser tension, especially around edges.”
