First and last time at this location. I sat in the waiting area for a few minutes until someone realized I was even there. The place was empty. A second customer comes in and the lady completely ignores me. My name was on the screen and I had previously checked in already. After speaking up, she asked me for my address which I was not comfortable sharing with her.
Proceeding to the haircut; she drenched my hair in water, takes about 10minutes of her time to actually cut, doesn't even use clippers and starts creating layers, blow dries it for literally 10seconds, probably less, and proceeds to advertise me a product I didn't want. Other than that, she did not attempt any small talk. I never had such an odd experience before.

I’ve had mixed experiences at this location in the past, but Nikki completely changed that. She’s professional, friendly, and really knows what she’s doing. Best haircut I’ve had here—will definitely be coming back to her!

I wanted to try this new location since it's so close to where I live.
Staff was rude, haircut sucked (not finished, I have to go somewhere else).
Will not come back
