I can't believe I haven't left this yet. We've always had issues with my son being happy about his haircut. That was until we found Hunter. He is amazing!. Now we don't see anybody else and we're not those people who pick and stay with one person. But I would never let anyone else cut my son's hair at this point. So Hunter you do an amazing job and your personality with kids who have anxiety is perfect because you're so easy going and kind. We're coming in today, even for a haircut. See you then.

Stylist was knowledgeable and did a great job! I was just looking for just a regular haircut, no color or anything fancy. Checking in online before you arrive saves time!
Definitely recommend for cheap regular cuts and trims! But if you're a super fashionista, looking for ombre/baylage/foils/highlights/etc, you may want somewhere else.
