- AWAndy WeitzelOct 30, 20251.0Unfortunately my visit was not the best and I will not be returning. I understand employees being drained and maybe not feeling appreciated but the way one employee bashed another was terrible. I usually get whatever stylist is available and I’m okay with that. After the little red head continuously bashed another employee I cannot return. I appreciate tune environment most days and travel across town to come to this shop but I will be searching for a new place to go as the negative talk my entire cut rubbed me completely wrong. Do better!
- SSStephen SchafferSep 21, 20252.0What's the purpose of an on-line check in if the wait time goes from 0 mins to 33 mins upon entering five minutes later? That is just straight up lying to the customers!!! If the employees don't care enough to keep the time updated and not care about those that signed in, then it needs to end
- TMTammy MillerSep 19, 20251.0The gal that my hubby's hair hardly cut his hair. In a hurry to get food. The gal who cut my hair did a shitty job. And pd $50. No thank you lost our business
- MJMike JohanssonAug 13, 20251.0I would give negative stars if possible.Very unprofessional place. The stylist was more concerned about talking with her coworker then giving a decent haircut to my daughter. She spent literally 4 minutes giving her a trim and said she was done. I looked at it closer when we left and her hair is completely uneven and chopped. This place needs to close its doors and never open again. Do not get anything done here!
- DHDonna HowardAug 11, 20254.0My stylist was Melissa, she did a great job & I hope she stays awhile so I can return to have her do my hair cut Donna Howard 😊
