Estelle did a wonderful job with my hair. She understood exactly what I wanted and how I wanted the few bald patches to be navigated. Very skillful!

Haircut so good that I didn’t want to share with the rest of the world, so I went home and buzzed it off.

Moussa is hands-down the best hairdresser I’ve ever had! He actually listens, gives honest feedback when I’m not sure what I want, and every single time I walk out looking sharper and more confident than when I walked in. The cuts are precise, the fades are perfect, and they grow out cleanly (no awkward stage). Whether I’m going for something classic or more modern, he nails it every time. On top of the skill, he’s genuinely a cool guy—great conversation, zero rush, and the chair time always feels like hanging out with a friend who happens to be a wizard with scissors. Already booked my next appointment with Moussa. Highly recommend!
