- DSDan SzwiecNov 16, 20251.0Your experience may vary here but it's definitely not worth the chance. go somewhere else.
- DMDoug MoonNov 2, 20251.0Do not get Louis!! Went in for a reroutine haircut where I go every 2-3 weeks for half inch off. This dude was ignorant / talking over me and proceeded to cut about 2 inches off. Shamika did the best to try to salvage what was possible. Never again especially with this guy. Louis should never work at great clips or cut hair!!
