- JFJessica FarleyDec 22, 20251.0I came in this morning to get my son a quick haircut before his grandmother's funeral this evening. I was checking him in at the desk while my son ran to the bathroom really quickly. The stylist named something like Allaria asked if she could take the man behind us since my son was in the bathroom. I told her we were short on time so I would rather not wait and I would get my son right away. He was in the bathroom for less than 2 minutes and she took someone else as he was walking from the bathroom to her chair. If she was going to take someone before us anyway she shouldn't have asked me if I minded. We ended up with a very good and nice stylist that wasn't her. She finished up the older gentleman she took in our place and proceeded to spend the rest of the time we were there playing on her phone. We were already having a rough day and she could have waited 30 seconds for my son to get to the chair and made it a little less stressful but she decided not to. I won't be back.
- KHKeturah “Kat” HuntNov 22, 20251.0Terrible! First time me and my husband with our kids for a temp fade one lady did really well but next time we went another lady didn’t have experience it’s like some have more experience then others but this lady DID NOT know what she was doing! She cut all my son’s hair off and lined it up I was very upset I decided for some reason to go back only for another lady to push my son’s hairline back! Will not be back.
- DDDamon DOct 17, 20255.0Katy was the most thorough I’ve seen at any great clips, it’s clear that she really cares about the end result - even more than myself and that was refreshing! Thanks
- LLLarry LacombOct 2, 20255.0Tatiana is such a pleasure to have cut my hair. She does a wonderful job. I am 67 years old and have been to several different salons here. She is very cordial and pleasant. My wife and I both get our hair cut by her. Both of us are happy.
- KKKatelyn KelseyOct 1, 20255.0Absolutely obsessed with my haircut allaura did! I expressed how it has been so hard to find someone who will not chop up my hair and she did amazing 😍
