- DNDayton NationDec 28, 20251.0Went in for a haircut for Friday December 26th when they got finished it looked decent at first because I was busy as I had to get to work today on my day off I was looking in the mirror because I ended up getting a mullet on one side of my hair was still significantly longer by at least three quarters of an inch to an inch not really noticeable unless you're actually looking but at the same time when I get my haircut I expect professionalism at least within a quarter of an inch difference in length for each side of my head to where it's not even noticeable even if someone is hardcore looking at it trying to find something wrong with it Edit Had my mother fix it and when she started going through my hair with the Comb she said the one who did my haircut must have been incompetent because she found areas that were way longer than the other side what I did when I found out one side was longer ultimately saying that the person should get reprimanded or fired for not doing the haircut with professionalism on the side note my mother has never been to school for hair what can do better than what this woman did noticing the indiscrepancies
- CAChristine andersonNov 20, 20255.0Because of some health issues I have to go to the salon to get hair washes. I love coming here!

- RMRusty MooreSep 15, 20251.0Went in today 9/15/25 with a 1 min wait per my check in online as they state you need, I was number 3 in line. Older lady checked me in and young very tattooed hairdresser came to the front and called a lady up to her chair that was number 5 in line…..so of course EVERYONES wait time got pushed back mine was pushed back to 30 mins. What’s the point of having to check in online if hairstylists are just gonna jump around on the list?
- MKMarc KuzmickiAug 29, 20251.0Can never get in with online check in cause it takes 5 to 10 minutes for this store to get turned on so for that reason I will go elsewhere not that it matters to this store.
