The waiting area is too small. The haircut by Dominique was very nice though.

Worst haircut I've EVER HAD! The gal in the wheelchair was my stylist. She jerked the comb and her fingers through my hair, it was very painful. And the haircut, OMG! I asked for a trim with a little layering, like I had it, she kept chopping and chopping! I ended up with a weird choppy ridge around my head, ear height that wasn't even!! I will NEVER go here again!

Let's start with blocking the panic bar exit to the street, why it's illegal, and why neither SCOTUS nor SCOMN will defend anyone on this issue. You guys can take it from here. This isn't the only business in the area doing this.
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.
