- DCDarrien CobleSep 20, 20255.0Omg when people say that they dont like great clips because usually they mess with people's hair cuts and they do it wrong. Let me tell you that I have been here 3 times!!!! And out of all 3 times I have been here and gotten my haircut have been amazing. Vanessa always does great with my hair and I have such an amazing experience with her every time I go and I struggle with anxiety. She is just so great to talk to and laugh with. Thank you so much Vanessa ❤️
- BFBill FreySep 15, 20255.0Haily did an awesome job on my haircut! Super friendly and gave me exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend her!”
- TRTyler RumseyAug 29, 20251.0Asked to have beard cut all the same length and it’s so uneven it’s annoying will have to cut it myself to fix it
- AJAnna JohnsonAug 16, 20254.0Nathan did a great job on my short curly hair. He listened to what I had said and used his skills to create what I needed. The shampoo experience was thorough and relaxing. I'm extra sensitive to cut hair itching my skin, and he went above when it came to making sure I was protected. The only negative was that he almost said my entire phone number out loud until I interrupted him mid number. Personal information should NEVER be stated out loud (can be very dangerous to the individual), so I can't give 5⭐️. Hopefully this was a learning opportunity!
