Terrible experience. Left covered in hair with a horrible uneven cut. I showed pictures of the low fade and shaggy mohawk haircut I wanted. The woman said she could do it. She immediately shaves 0 halfway up my side and goes, that okay? As if she could magically fix it. She proceeded to give me a super short high fade that looked nothing like the photos I showed. Then she barely wets my hair before hacking away, clearing rushing. After watching in horror, she finally asks to be done. I move the hair around, confused at the strange uneven sides. I politely asked for her to feather out the sides and she looked annoyed then grabs a chunk of my hair and chopped at it wildly. I could see the uneven pieces sticking out. At that point I gave up, just wanting to escape, and said, yeah sure. She used the hair dryer to blow my face for two seconds before hurrying to the register to cash me out. I got to the car and was absolutely covered in hair. I started going through the hair in my mohawk and realized just how awful it actually was. Short pieces next to pieces that were an inch longer. This is the worst haircut I've ever gotten and I was only there for 10 minutes. Would recommend never going to this salon unless you want to walk out with surprise cut that looks like a toddler got a pair of scissors. I wish I was exaggerating. I never leave negative reviews but thought I should warn people. I'll have to go to another place just to get this fixed.

Every time I come in here for a haircut, I get criticized for not using the right conditioner, something about what I’m asking for is not possible or likewise. This is the only place near me - I just want a haircut with out the negativity and judgement.
