- JWJessica WheelerNov 7, 20251.0Took my daughter here this morning asked for simple layers. It looked like the stylist cut huge chunks out not blended. I've never seen layers look so bad in all my life and We always get layers and have for years it did not look good and I had to state that several times for her to fix it and she was condescending and rude. Just bc you have been cutting hair a long time doesn't mean you can't do a bad job. Everyone has bad days. Also had to ask her to give my daughter a mirror so she can see for herself. Also charged me for an adult cut for my child. Never going to this location again and I don't. Advise anyone else to either.

- DCDon conradSep 11, 20254.0Friendly competent service
- TFTyler FrerichSep 9, 20251.0I asked for a lower taper fade on the sides and a messy fringe in front and on top of my head and the girl doing my hair gave me an uneven side and gave me really high bangs. Not a lower taper fade and a messy fringe. I have 8th grade pictures in a week and I don't know if I can revive this haircut in time.
- MFMindy FirestoneJul 12, 20252.0Under cut was as asked for. Top was nowhere close to the city I wanted. Had a picture for reference that showed each side and front and back, the stylist looked at it for 10 seconds and never looked at it again. Was so upset when I left I couldn't even look at the stylist.
