- JGJesus GomezNov 1, 20254.0The person who cut my hair was great. Did exactly what I wanted and got my cut to look good. I leave at 4 stars because previous times it’s been hit or miss. Sometimes the service is great and they do what I wanted sometimes they do what they want
- JBJamal BrownOct 16, 20251.0Non-existent location. Wasted ten minutes of my life trying to find it.
- MAMike AndersonAug 23, 20251.0This location has terrible customer service. The Asian man was very rude when I was trying to describe the haircut I wanted. Told me to go to barber and to hurry up. I was only in the chair for 30 seconds. I decided to get a haircut from another stylist, who was less angry and controlling.
- JGJulie GranzowAug 13, 20255.0My teenage son, John, gets his haircut here now. He found a new lady, Christina, that he really likes bc she knows how to cut his hair exactly how he wants it. Never too short & never too long. She really knows her stuff & I noticed everyone walking out with a nice cut. She keeps the clients smiling with her wonderful beautiful bubbly personality. I'll be having her do my hair next. I can tell she knows exactly what she's doing & that means alot.
- RMRachel MurrayJul 24, 20255.0Christina was so sweet & gave me great suggestions for my haircut. Brought my mom in the next day for a haircut because of how nice of an experience it was.
