I don't really do reviews but I just had to say I had a great experience. I'm bad with names but the woman with the cool purple hair that cut my hair was awesome. She made sure I was comfortable every step of the way and cut my hair perfectly. If I had the money I would have given her a much greater tip. Thank you!

Some of the hair stylist don’t know how to cut boys curly hair. Unfortunately, my kid got the most horrible haircut, even after showing the stylist a picture of how he wanted it. I had to deal with the kid’s winning for about two weeks. If they don’t know or are not sure of how to cut certain hair, they should let the customer know. I’m not going back to this place, sorry!
