I went here with my 3-year-old grandson and my son-in-law. I was impressed with the way the stylus made my grandson feel so comfortable in the stylized barber's chair that looked like an airplane. We did have to park on the street, but it was the weekend so we didn't have trouble finding parking. There was a pub across the street where we grabbed the beer before we went into the shop.

No explanation needed. The photos are a clear representation of our horrible experience today. Our request was completely ignored and the “hairdresser” did whatever she wanted. They made up every excuse and took zero accountability for her mistake. She was also extremely rude and aggressive with my 3 year old. Absolutely disgusted with his “hairdresser”.. also the harsh scissor cuts on my baby’s hair. Payed $70 for this horrible service.

Katie was amazing with my toddler’s first haircut! She was so patient and pulled out all the stops—from an iPad playing Bluey to a bucket of toys—to keep him happy and distracted. She asked exactly what we wanted, worked efficiently, and made the whole experience easy and sweet. We even left with a thoughtful little keepsake. We’ll definitely be coming back for his next haircut! The staff was very accommodating and kind.
