Once again great service and hair cut. Kelly and the others are always welcoming and efficient. Kelly has styled mine the last few visits and doesn't hesitate when I ask for minor changes in a different style. Thanks Kelly.

Half the female staff in that building rush your haircut, and mess up your hairlines or sideburns. I guess it’s a good place to take your children if you need them to get a quick cut just not for adults.
I also walked in at 6:53 pm, and they closed at 7pm yet they turned me away even with their open sign on. I work 3rd shift so it’s hard for me to get to places I need too in the evening. I recommend SportsClips they cut your hair from the moment they open to the moment they close.
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.
