- GSGaurav SinghalOct 6, 20252.0Not good experience. Hair dresser don’t understand simple instinct of spike from the front.
- DSDonald SmithSep 23, 20255.0In-and-out quick. Saved few bucks with my coupon on my Jewel-Osco receipts
- BBBBSep 9, 20251.0A terrible haircut and all around bad experience. It was basically an insulting hack job. I attempted to explain to the stylist what I wanted but she said "yes I know" then went to work with an electric clipper. I repeatedly said it wasn't looking even but she said wait till I'm finished. At finish it was grossly uneven with several overly thinned spots. I tried to get her to make corrections but she acted annoyed and was very rude. The final insult was when I asked her to dry my hair. She said it's hot outside and will dry. Unbelievably rude person who gave me the worst haircut I have ever had. Don't waste your money. Go somewhere else.
- RMRobert MurrayAug 30, 20255.0Great people and service!
