Being in the heart of downtown I believe such a business reflects it's City. HipNotique does not represent the culture and mission of my city.
HipNotique's owner was extremely rude to my family and my friend's family while we were there for an appointment.
While waiting for our appointment (fairy hair), the owner stated out loud that "children need to put their hands in the pockets and not walk around the store. She does not have the patience for "this"".
What she was referring to, without any knowledge of the situation, was her idea that something of value was being knocked over by a child. Unbeknownst to her nothing was harmed. The fact was a display Knick-nack (seashell) was accidentally bumped on a display case making a noise. No harm to anything (especially merchandise) was caused. As parents, we were overseeing what our children were looking at while waiting, playing I spy and counting seashells.
However as a store in the downtown you should be welcoming to families. Especially when offering a service (fairy hair) that could be for young people. HipNotique will not be getting my business in the future and I will choose to see the Fairy Hair business (which was amazing) in another location she offers. read more
