- KWkaren waltersOct 9, 20255.0Very nice short haircut.
- DTDonnaLyn TincherOct 6, 20255.0Service is fast. Suggest online check-in. But, not required. The stylists are cheerful. They ask and listen to you for preference in cut and style. This location is my preference. I've used one other location and was extremely unhappy with the stylists cut. Only used it as my location was closed for renovations.
- GZGail ZeebSep 11, 20255.02 ladies have cut my hair..very happy with the cut
- HRHeather RamsauerAug 20, 20251.0Not a great experience.... so I went in Monday 8.18.25.... checked in on the app went in and waited. Called to chair. Had the pics up on my phone as a reference. I showed the lady, I will NOT call her a stylist, her eyes got all big. Pursued her lips like I was asking for the worst haircut ever.... I have severe anxiety when ut comes to getting my haircut, now her I an nervous.... she's making an alert type expression... so I looked at her I said so... she wa like thats a lot of layers and a lot of bangs. I said we'll we are moving out of state in couple weeks and needed something update and professional for my new job. The she said well I just don't know. So I told just trim it beacuse you are making me nervous and I do not trust you to actually cut my hair. I informed her that I get anxiety when getting a cut and that her reaction is not helping. So I just had her do a very minimal trim and will have my haircut in Vicksburg when we move. Sadly, my wife encouraged me to go to Ulta but I we have used this great clips for years and I wanted to save us so money. When I got to the car and explained ti my wife, I had tears in my eyes, this was the WORST experience I have ever had.
