- PDphil diamantDec 30, 20251.0Called Dec 29 on Monday and was told if I come in Tuesday I could get a Senior haircut for $11. I made a reservation for the one on Oak Tree Road. I went in and still waited 20 minutes with a appointment! When it was my turn, I was told their is no $11 senior discounted haircut at all. Place is clueless and useless!
- SFSunshine FOIANov 28, 20251.0Ruined my Thanksgiving. My hair is literally lopsided in the back and has long uneven stray pieces in the front! I went in for a simple basic cut and asked the younger woman for a few inches to be taken off, since I'm growing out my old color. After the cut, I put it up in a ponytail, the way I usually wear it, and left. For the extended holiday get-together, I blew it out and it seems off in the mirror, but I said to myself, maybe it's because it's a new cut. NOPE!! It was a HORRIBLY UNEVEN cut and my friends and family all noticed and asked who butchered my hair and why was it so crooked in the back. Mortifying. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST!!! I've tried to call twice today to let them know, and no answer - goes to vm. SMH.
- IKIrina KatsNov 13, 20255.0Been here twice, both times nice Indian ladies did a good looking haircut quickly. They listened to what I wanted and made it look good.
- DBDivakar Reddy BhavanamNov 1, 20251.0Worst haircut, they don’t communicate what they are doing.
- VSViz SOct 19, 20255.0Sun19thOct visit.Spanish lady with gray hair- Im sorry but she should not be working there- or - someone gotta teach her to listen to what customers are asking for- if she cant do it then she should do something else. We showed a picture of what style we want ,she completely ignored and did a plain army style haircut. She did the same to another kid- completely ignoring what the kids parents asked. She was asked to do skin-fade, she completely ignores and cuts the sides #2!!!!?!?!?!Her total ignorance is unbelievable. Giving 5 stars to Jennifer who gets it right all the time always kind and welcoming.
