Only complaint i would have is the smell of cigarettes on breath is a bit off putting. It wasn't terrible, just distracting and somewhat unpleasant and something that could be improved upon.
Business response:
I'm so sorry about this. I normally make a point to freshen my breath before every client, whether I've had a sip of coffee, eaten or had the occasional smoke. Obviously, this didn't happen prior to your treatment. I wish you would have felt comfortable enough to say something and I could have rectified it at the time. Thanks for the feedback. And again, my apologies.
