- BHBrian HeiligOct 31, 20255.0Hillary did an amazing job with my haircut. I was surprised at how well it looked. She noticed right away that I am hearing impaired and was patient with me as I had to ask her to repeat what she said. Great customer service was had at this place the other day. If I’m in the McHenry area and need a haircut, I’ll be stopping in.
