Jessica did a BEAUTIFUL job on my hair. I asked for an undercut with a fade (and gave some convoluted instructions) and she gave me an incredible haircut. She was very detailed and made sure it was looking the way I wanted it to throughout the cut! Thank you so much, I'm very happy.

Brenna did so good!! I have never left a salon with my hair looking EXACTLY how I imagined it. All I had to do was show her my inspo photos and she got to work. To say that she nailed it would be an understatement. Can’t recommend enough!!

Had a very bad experience. Wanted to get a professional looking simple haircut, ended up looking like a hipster. Haircut lacks finishing, is uneven and was done putting zero effort.

I went in for a shave all around and a trim off the top. The lady cut my hair didnt say much or ask much, started to square off the back which I didnt really want. I stopped her and she didnt even fix it just left it. Didnt shave my side burns left them long, she let me leave looking stupid. Wasnt going to blow the hair off until I asked. I usually dont complain or go back in for things but it was really bad. Thankfully another lady spent afew minutes fixing it when I came back in but I won't be going back.
