- JNJames NicolosiDec 27, 20251.0Came in there to get my haircut because I was trying to look nice before I proposed to my girlfriend and they butchered my hair. And this isn't the first time it's happened. The back of my hair line was so lower then one part, they didn't fade my hair properly at all. Not only that, but I tip well and only have them trim the sides of my hair, never the top. There are some good stylists in there, but there are some really bad ones in there also. The bad ones rush the haircut so they can get more people in. I literally could of done a better job then what they did. I suggest finding an actual salon or someone who will take the time to do the job right.
