Went here to fix my haircut because another place messed it up and this place completely butchered it. Why is it so hard to find a place that can give just a normal haircut. They cut it too high. I don't understand why they always mess it up. I'm always very specific and I have a good photo of what I want. And every single time they seem to mess it up.
Mens, womens, kids and senior haircuts as well as bang, neck and beard trims. Other haircare services include shampoo, blow dry, or hair styling such as an updo. Select salons offer perm services.
