Didn't get a cut. What's the point of signing in online? I waited 30 minutes at home and showed up on time when I was messaged to just to be told by staff that I have to wait for the two guys sitting there? That's easily an additional 30 minutes on top of my 30 minutes already? I don't get it. Just because I didn't wait in there physically does not mean I wasn't waiting at home...

My haircut came out crooked and you can definitely tell one side looks more chopped than the other. The lady who did my hair had a heavy accent so I'm not sure if she understood what I asked for. Will not be returning what a shame.

Handy location next to Ralphs. Really like the online check-in. Also, can usually find a coupon. Found a great stylist at this location- Kenny (not sure if thats the right spelling). She really knows what shes doing. Does a good job of listening to what you want.
