I like being able to sign in online and the phone app tells me how long the wait time is. If you go in the morning after they open up the wait times are low and they usually are not to busy. Everybody there gives a good haircut so doesn't matter who cuts your hair. Prices are cheap @ $20 for standard cut.
Would recommend for anyone needing a quick quality haircut.

I have been going to this location since 2008. Sue is a great person and I will wait in line for her to cut my hair and catch up on what's going on in our lives. Plus, the place is impeccably clean and all staff is welcoming.
