Please avoid this place no matter what. The kid who cut my hair rushed everything and left it uneven. I had fo ask him twice to even it out, which he barely did. He was rushing to leave and it shows as my hair is still wonky. He had some kind of open cut on his right hand, which was disturbing. I have to fix it myself tonight. I was passed off to him by the manager, who didn't seem to want to do any work. These people are awful.

Eddie cut my two boys hair and was so patient and knew exactly how to handle a 4 and 2 year old. He has become our main go to stylist here in PG.

I was pretty disappointed with the haircut that I got here. It was a simple medium fade. The blending was very poor on both sides. I had to fix it myself the best I could when I got home. I will not return.
