- XGXochitl GoolsbyNov 7, 20255.0I always come out with the cleanest fades. All the ladies know how to cut hair and work with all types of hair types. Working miracles over here. Coming in a two coming out a ten put some respect on their name
- CSchristin sAug 29, 20252.0Was a fan of this place until I went to another salon to fix my uneven haircut was just in their last week wanted a trim got a butch never again
- MTManuel TalamantesAug 3, 20251.0I had an awful haircut today. I look horrible. I had a decent experience here before, and decided to come again. This time, the person cutting my hair cut it way too short, couldn’t blend a fade properly, and made me look like a block. When I asked for it to be less blocky, she straight up cut off all the bulk on the sides of my head. Will not come here again.
- SSStephanie SeifertJul 23, 20255.0Kim did a great job this morning. She was very personable and after I explained to her my hair type and what has happened with my hair She has been the only one to really listen to me in years and give me the haircut that I asked for. I wish I could post a picture but it is not letting me.
