- CJCharles JeffryesNov 15, 20255.0Linda was my stylist. She gave me such a great cut that everyone has said, "that is great". I cannot say enpugh positive things. She made a 69 year old guy look like a 40 something guy.
- KTkris turowerNov 4, 20255.0I like this place ,friendly people , professional
- FMFrank mondoSep 18, 20255.0Just got a haircut with Jalyla, after having the same Barbor for 15 years that retired. It was challenging finding someone that I plan on being loyal to. The attention to detail, going the extra mile, and the social aspect made me feel mind blown. I’m ecstatic that I have someone that I trust for my haircuts for now on.
- CScarrie sonneSep 8, 20251.0Denied a haircut when there was only 1 person in there as I didn’t want to provide personal info for them to sell for my 5 minute haircut. Surprised no responses from the owner either.
- GGGarni GharekhanianAug 18, 20255.0I had a beard trim done there around 2 weeks ago and, at $6 per beard trim, it is practically a steal!
