- AWAlicia WaddellNov 5, 20255.0Just a quick thanks to Jessica N. This Christmas I will be Santa for my grandkids. My grayish white beard needed some help. She took the time to give me a great haircut and trim my beard just like I asked. I received several compliments on how my beard looked like Santa's. Thanks Jessica.
- JHJosh HowellNov 3, 20255.0Jessica was super detailed, very talented hair stylist, best cut ai’ve had in awhile. Highly recommend.
- ZAzoey atsonOct 21, 20251.0Asked for a haircut and gave a reference, kept the photo up. The lady practically cut all my hair off after i warned her my hir is way curlier than when i walked in. Did not let me tell her to stop. Asked my multiple times if someone was a good length and then just kept going shorter. Not at all what i asked for. Did i horrible job at what she gave me anyway. Cut one side of my hair with one method and did something completely different for the other. I keep finding long strands of hair. Dont got here
