The worst experience I’ve ever had. I asked a lady named Alvis to trim just a little bit of my hair, and she completely messed it up. Another person tried to fix it, and I almost walked out of there completely bald. I paid $22 for the worst haircut experience of my life. I do not recommend this place at all.

The employees here are very disrespectful toward customers. It was an unpleasant experience — I wouldn’t recommend going here unless you want to be treated poorly.

Got a great haircut here.
However, the woman that cut my hair was incredibly inconsiderate in the amount in which she rambled and vented to me about her life and opinions and crossed many regular social boundaries. She passionately yammered on about male/female roles in the household (shunning many modern female roles in particular), war and global conflict, and political unrest. When I attempted to subtle the conversation, she did not let up and continued to pester many intense and unprovoked topics. I couldn't wait to get the hell out of there.
Again, great haircut, but god. Very tough experience.
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.
