Their app is really messed up and will not let you create a new account for some reason! Only way to make an appointment is to call or take your chances and do a walk-in!

Frustrating experience this past time. If an individual doesnt care to give their name then dont force the issue and make a scene. The young person then gave me the quickest cut possible, it was cut nice but not the cut i wanted when i walked in, but i let it be.

Came in for a cut and Em was the chosen one. Haha
She is such a sweet young lady and did a great job. “Modern day Mullet” for me 😜 I then brought my Dad in (wheelchair accessible) and Dad was very pleased too.
