- DTDala TaylorOct 12, 20255.0I went there to get my hair shampooed and haircut and Vera did a great job. She listened to what I wanted and I love my new haircut. I would recommend here. I also like the check in, I didn't have to wait a minute.
- SCSondra CraigOct 11, 20251.0THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST TRAUMATIC HAIRCUT IVE EVER HAD IF I COULD GIVE -10 I WOULD. I asked for layers and she clearly must have thought I said butcher me. It's half inch shorter in the front on one side and looks like she chopped it with dull scissors. I will never go back....I wouldn't recommend this salon to anyone.
- AHAndrew HillSep 10, 20255.0Karen did a really good job on my hair. She was real sweet and took her time making sure it looked right. I never felt rushed, and she made me feel comfortable the whole time. I’d definitely go back to her again!
- JAJane AkinSep 5, 20255.0I like making an online reservation, very efficient! I walked in & was able to get a great trim. Very pleased.
- PJPam JohnsAug 17, 20251.0Very rude people working there will never go back couldn't even get checked in rolling their eyes at me
