Stopped in last minute for a haircut and Kathleen was the best! I have curly hair so I am always hesitant about going new places but she did a great job! Would recommend for all the curly haired girls.

Many factors add to giving the maximum number of stars: I absolutely love my stylist, Crystal. She listens, makes suggestions and the finished cut is perfect. There is plenty of parking in front or just a few steps away. All of the other stylists at this location are friendly and helpful and I would not hesitate to use any of them for my cut were Ms Crystal not there that day. The shop is spotless, the restroom is the same way. I just wish appts could be made 24 hrs in advance. Nonetheless, my experiences rate 5 stars!

I usually see Amanda and she was not in so I decided to get it cut anyway. Big mistake, got butchered. She didn't listen to anything I said.

After being absolutely butchered at a different shop I had to find someone to fix it.
The stylist was able to reconstruct my hair ( if you can’t tell I’m a super wavy - curly haired woman ) and give it back shape.
Immediately their was a difference and my hair popped back up instead of laying lifeless
There’s still a lot of fixing to do but I’ll only go here for a curly haircut.
