Interviewer:

Interviewer:
No.
Eva:
Honestly, like, we're never offended if someone goes somewhere different. Doesn't-- unless they mess up their hair and they come back for us to fix it. That's the only one we're like "oh, why did you go?"
Interviewer:
Does that happen? Really? Oh.
Eva:

It's the worst thing ever, I'm like "why would you do that?", like-- Or people try to go lighter themselves and it's like-- and it goes like--
Interviewer:
I would never do my hair myself.
Eva:
I just don't know why people do it.
Interviewer:
Mhm. It can go so wrong. Mhm.
Eva:
