- SASandy Allen4 days ago5.0Loved the haircut!
- CCCassabella5 days ago1.0I was going to get my hair cut and some lady I think named Indera was belittling another hair cut lady and so I left. It was so awkward and weird so I left and I will probably just go somewhere else now
- M_Mikey _Nov 27, 20255.0They did a great job and helped tremendously
- 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
