- DDDashJan 2, 20261.0I have very little hair, and the stylist (Shahla) completed the job in about 3–4 minutes, only trimming the sides with a trimmer. I gave a 10% tip of my total bill. The stylist returned the tip and saying it was very rude to give a lower dollar amount tip. I am very disappointed. This was my first visit, and it will be my last.
- MPmanisha punjDec 30, 20251.0The barber sick they mess me up too bad for any other barber to fixed me
- VAVinay AmritDec 23, 20251.0Had a very bad experience. Poor English. Just used clippers, lacked skill. Poor blending with lines that doesn’t even look straight. Will never return even for a free cut.
- JHJames HicksNov 30, 20255.0Cindy, at this location is the absolute best. She is very nice & makes you feel more like a friend than just a customer.
- KTKrystal TNov 24, 20251.0I brought my daughter here for a trim. No greeting or hello…not even a glance. We stood in line near the register waiting to sign in while someone else was getting checked out. Ten minutes later the woman still couldn’t figure out the register. Then, a man walked in the door and was greeted and asked if he signed in online. I guess I was invisible?? There were two people working and I guess no one could see me. Walked out at that point. Won’t be going here again!
