- CDCraig DavisNov 6, 20255.0No wait. Good cut.
- TSTravis SowderSep 19, 20251.0The 3 ladies working did nothing but complain about some of their previous customers apparently being rude( I don't need nor want to here about that, it's in very poor taste to talk poorly of customers especially to other customers) also the 1 that cut my hair was a bit rough with the clippers to the point I pulled away from her once and she didn't use the dryer to blow the cut hair off of me. Only worse haircut I've received in my life was when a different great clips took the clippers down my beard
- PEPeggy EnglehartSep 15, 20255.0Facility is always clean, staff is friendly and helpful. I call ahead to be sure Jennie is working and then check in online. Easy peasy.
- YSYoss SantamariaAug 19, 20251.0I had the worst experience with my son here. The woman who cut his hair did it terribly, as if she couldn't cut hair. Added to that, she didn't even clean the hair off his face, and she charged us the same without even fixing the damage she left. Never take your children there.
- SHSamantha HeibelAug 2, 20255.0Went in first thing on a Saturday morning and the manager gave my 1.5 year old a haircut. She was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and patient with a toddler who didn’t want to sit still. She did an amazing job and we will definitely be back!
