WORST EVER! I went with my daughter. I'm 64 years old, so I've had my share of good and bad cuts. I can't even imagine the staff is even licensed to cut hair.

I had a very disappointing experience at this location. The haircut I received was poorly done. The stylist trimmed excessively high at the back of my neck, and when I asked her why, she simply said, "You don’t have hair there." That response was unprofessional and actually have hair.
To make matters worse, she used the trimmer carelessly, which caused a cut behind my ear — the skin was actually ruptured. There were also patches of hair left untrimmed, which I only noticed after getting home. The lighting in the salon was so poor.
Overall, this was a terrible experience, and I would never return to this location.

I went to this place multiple times and I can say that this place is good and bad depending on who you end up with each time. Everyday different people are present to cut your hair. I had my best haircut in this place and the worst. Some barbers really know what they are doing and they make the best work they can. Some others don't have an idea, they don't even cut parts of your hair, leaving it ridiculously uneven. In a few minutes, you know whether it is an unlucky day. I wish that there was an option to schedule with a barber you had a good experience with.
