Rocio Dellarroquelle had two appointments canceled on her, and on the third attempt, the student was 30 minutes late and complained about having to give her a haircut. Juliann Akers had her appointment canceled 20 minutes prior, and when she showed up for the rescheduled appointment, she wasn't on the schedule. Jelena Runjaic spent 7 hours at the school and ended up with purple hair instead of the caramel color she requested.
