Just got the worst hair cut of my life at this location on Monday. Asked for a simple blunt bob and got an uneven very short bowl cut instead. If you’re trying to save money right now and just want a “cheap” hack job then I guess this is it. I would rather keep cutting it myself. I told her I wanted to be confident for my new job and now I had to trim even it up myself. I’m embarrassed now. She barely spent 15 mins on my hair, no time making sure it was even and took the mirror before I was done checking it myself. Now I know why! She was friendly but unfortunately not what I would consider a professional stylist. Huge bummer!
Mens, womens, kids and senior haircuts as well as bang, neck and beard trims. Other haircare services include shampoo, blow dry, or hair styling such as an updo. Select salons offer perm services.
