- SNSeth NoeltnerNov 11, 20251.0If you want a good hair cut this is not the place. How hard is it to make a man’s cut look symmetrical? How these people passed their schooling is beyond me
- DDDerekOct 29, 20255.0Angela is great! A true artist.
- EWErica WagenblastSep 23, 20255.0No wait and was able to get my son a haircut that he picked out and she did a great job with him. I wish I would've gotten her name but she was younger and had pink in her hair.
- MDMatt DeRossettSep 8, 20255.0Comfortable environment with experienced and skilled stylists. Wait time was a bit longer than quoted on the app (employees do not control this). Highly recommend! 😁
- BLBrandi LaneAug 28, 20251.0I have no idea what the name of the person is because I am writing this without my son knowing, so I can't ask. He just said it was the shortest lady there. To the shortest lady who is working today: refuse to cut men's hair, please. He will not be back to your establishment to get a haircut by anyone, all because of you. This is the choppiest, crappiest haircut I have ever seen in my life. I feel so bad for my son. I am so mad I want to come there just to tell you how shitty this haircut is. But instead I will tell everyone on here how bad you are at what you were supposedly trained to do. I'd like to see your actual certificate because I'm not quite sure you ever really were taught to cut hair. Now I get to figure out how to trick my son into going somewhere with me, because I will not make him embarrassed by telling him how horrible this hair cut is. Before I get a company response : 1. No, I will not fill out a form and repeat myself. I already told you what was wrong here. 2. No, you can't make it right, he will not be back to even allow you to screw up his hair 2x. I am so disappointed I'm disgusted.
