- JPJim PraterNov 6, 20255.0Always a great experience
- BABen AlgueraSep 25, 20251.0That old lady idk her name but she absolutely ruined my haircut experience, first she was staring at her hand picking at something in front of me for 5 solid minutes and then proceeded to cut my hair with the clippers without turning it on and it absolutely hurt because it pulled my hair, not just that but she didn’t cut how i specified, i wanted a low fade and i look completely bald, she just doesn’t know how to cut hair at all, ive cut hair before and she doesn’t know the basics of cutting hair, worst haircut of all time , someone should ban her from cutting hair.
- ETEric TorresAug 5, 20253.0Even thou notes in system lady still seemed soooo confused .. Wish my reg lady was not on leave.. Miss her . Hope she come back soon This one did ok but had me really worried
- SBSonia BladeJul 29, 20255.0I stopped at this location as a last-minute decision because I was trying to grow my hair out, but honestly, I love my hair short. I was here on a Sunday and Alexis cut my hair . I have to tell you that I’m so so happy with the cut. I showed her a picture and she did her thing. I can’t wait to come back in a few weeks for a trim.
- CRC RosasSep 15, 20195.0I went in for an adjustment, nervously hoping that someone can fix another hairstylists mistake. I was referred to Alexis, she was SO sweet and kind! She fixed my hair and gave me exactly what I wanted and more! I am extremely relieved and I love my hair cut so much! I will be going here from now on & requesting her!
