My family and I have been coming here for years. But recently, within the last year or so, things have changed. They are rude, haircuts are crap and just push you out the door as fast as possible. Last time my daughters got their hair cut there, they took about 5 minutes to trim the back and that was it $18 for that? Theyre young teens... Expected a little more than that.
I normally check in online as soon as I leave work... It takes 40+ minutes to get there. Apparently they delete your name from the waiting list after 30 minutes now... So says the delightful young lady working there.
This location is convenient, but I'd find somewhere else to go if I were you
