- RSRomey SchwietermanDec 7, 20255.0Not bad spot and pretty cheap. Paid $24 for a skin fade and the cut came out good. Thanks to Kylie for doing a great job! Wait time was long so I recommend getting a spot then heading to Fred Myers to do some shopping. They will text you when it’s about a 15 min wait.
- I9Iron Legion Gaming 907Nov 15, 20251.0They stated that it was a 20 minute wait they it turned into a 40 due to hairdressers leaving at a busy time. Don't go to this location.
- PMParker MartynDec 5, 20243.0Plus: It’s nice to see staff turnover may be slowing down at this salon. I’ve been going here for probably 10 years, and the three stylists that were working when I went in I recognized because they have all been working there for several years. They all do a great job and are professional at what they do. I also like that the check-in system keeps track of my haircut style from past visits. Minus: Prices for men’s haircuts have gradually been going up over the past year or so. I used to pay $15 with a $5 coupon that I got in the mail, plus tip. Now, it appears coupons are no longer being sent out, and haircuts are $24. With tip I spent $29 on my last haircut. That’s about 60% higher compared to what I used to pay, which is way more than recent inflation figures.
- ARAlan RoyJun 8, 20194.0Always been happy with this location. Sometimes will wait for one of the hairstylist that I like.
