- GMGaurav MashruDec 14, 20251.0Had a horrible experience today the tattoo lady, so unprofessional haircut it was completed with in 2-3 mins never gonna be back here
- BBBigJNov 16, 20251.0I've gotten neck trims here for a while. This has always included sideburns and square in the back. I went here today and some chick with glasses and a bad attitude told me that I have to get the full haircut. She said it's "company policy", This is complete garbage. I will never be coming here again.
- DJD JOct 23, 20255.0Checking in on the app made it so I could get a good haircut at a great price with almost no waiting time.
- MJMathew JohnOct 19, 20251.0I went there for the first time and Tori did my haircut she did a really good job! But the second time, it was Toula, and she was very rude from the start and messed up everything. She took only about four minutes for the entire haircut and was the most unprofessional hairdresser I’ve ever met. When she finished, she roughly pulled off the haircut cape, and all the hair fell onto my pants.
