The only reason I am currently giving it a 3 is because of my previous good experiences. I went in for a haircut today, the wait time said 10 minutes, I was waiting for 30. I asked for a trim and didnt specify anything about my sideburns or any facial hair (female but still have some) and she shaved my sideburns off and a streak of facial hair off each side of my face, the sides are uneven, layers don't blend and she was incredibly rough with the razor. She also didn't keep a hold on her comb and it kept smacking me in the top of the head.

This place is the number one place I’ve ever been. The lady who cut my hair was super friendly and a great conversationalist. But there wasn’t much time for conversation because she was like a Ninja, super fast! Fastest, best hair cut ever! Thank you!
