01. 09. 26 my boyfriend came in for a cut & i was met with dirty looks by the hispanic woman taking his information. she asked him inappropriate questions while cutting his hair then proceeded to cut his hair horribly. she cut his layers uneven and seems to have just ran a pair of scissors across and said “that’ll do.” she’s cut his hair multiple times & knows what he usually gets so it’s clear that his terrible haircut was intentional.

I’m writing this as my husband’s wife because the haircut he received here was done very poorly. The sideburns are uneven, the fade is inconsistent, and it looks like no final check was done before letting him leave. This is something that should have been caught immediately.
Very disappointing experience. We expected much better and now have to get it corrected elsewhere.

My hairstylist was very rude. Do not recommend that you go to this place. Asked for a haircut and a style she would not style my hair. Not even worth stopping by
