The 3 girls I know all can cut hair well. Ashley has always been my barber 💈 bc she knows why she’s doing.
Plus great conversation if you’re that kind of person 😊

Very disappointed! I went to get my daughter and I a haircut. The ladies in there were very disrespectful and rushing. They had snobby comments and such hateful attitudes! On top of the crappy service they messed my daughter's hair up completely and mine! Very choppy and uneven! Never again will I go to them!! I do not recommend this place for anyone!

I went to the location on Hwy 127 South and was greeted by someone who acted as though I was a criminal for not checking in online and f I really not have been to that location before. I walked out embarrassed by the treatment I received. I will nevergo back to that location again!

I brought my elderly mother in for a haircut. Two ladies were in the back and looked right at us and never acknowledged us. Continued to talk to each other for 10 minutes while we sat there with no acknowledge. We finally left. There was another customer sitting out front the entire time also. Would definitely not recommend. Very rude.
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.
