I have been going to this location for about 2 years and it is by far the best one in town. If you go, request Carmen. She is hands down the best stylist and most welcoming person I’ve met in a long time. She’s been cutting hair for 39 years so going here feels like you’re going to a high end salon for half the price. I won’t go anywhere else. Definitely recommend.
