Maribel did a fantastic job. I asked for a scissor cut and it was perfectly done. She was very efficient and friendly. The Mens cut is only $21. I've paid much more at other places and not been as satisfied with the result. I highly recommend going there for a great haircut.

We always have a good experience but this time the stylist kimberly was extremely rude and gave my son the worst haircut he has ever had. Her attitude towards me when I expressed my concern was not ok. I will never use her again.
