- SMshannon matuszewiczJan 5, 20262.0Used the on line check in. It told us we were next in line and to come on in. Upon arrival, we had 5 in front of us and only one employee cutting hair. This has happened a few times so just be prepared for a wait, despite the app telling you that you are next in line (we waited 63 minutes).
- JDJeremiah DietrichDec 17, 20255.0Wonderful staff. Been coming here for years and always satisfied with my cut and the service level provided. Donna is the best!
- CRClaif RebazaDec 11, 20255.0Best store in town. Donna is the best of the best
- JMJason McGinnisDec 1, 20255.0Liz is AMAZING! Handled me very quickly with precision and grace. Very friendly and gives a great cut! I will definitely be back! Thank you!
- ACAngeline CarrerasNov 29, 20255.0Service not listed... Deanna is a magician. She fixed my bad hair cut... She listened to my concerns on how it would grow out. She fixed my dad's bad hair cut too, it was really bad. She is friendly, patient, and obviously a highly skilled professional. I heard her walk a customer thru how to use the app to use/get her discount while I waited. If you're in tne area and need a hair cut, trim, etc... Go see Deanna!
