Yes. They worked at Van Michael in Atlanta for years, and Van is very precise in the way he trains his people to cut hair. I love Van. But he was kind of a jerk to his stylists because he made them sign a contract saying that if they ever left the salon, they would never use a technique he taught them. Excuse me? How can that be enforced, and how can you take away someone's artistic skills? So, a bunch of his stylists (including the guy who does my hair) refused to sign it and left.
