- KCKam Chang3 days ago5.0Anna has been cutting my hair at the Gosford location for several years now and she always does a fantastic job. This location is always quite busy but all of the stylists work quickly and efficiently. People get in and out in a timely manner. Highly recommend this location and especially Anna because she does a great job!

- PLPaul LoehrDec 5, 20251.0Checked in online, walked in behind a person that didn’t check in online. That person was taking back. Nobody asked me if I was checked in, had a seat. 3 stylists finished up and looked at me . Waited about 15 min, finally the 4 stylist ask me I wanted a haircut. My 5 min buzz cut wasn’t worth there time. Bad service, will not go back .
- CMClaudia MaciasNov 21, 20255.0Very reasonable prices and discounts for seniors. See Danielle for the best haircut for ladies and now my husband gets his haircut done by Danielle.
- PSPaula SmithOct 25, 20251.0Not happy. The stylist chopped my hair. It does NOT feather on the sides. I will NEVER go back there for a hair cut.
