I got my hair cut by Kelli today. She was the sweetest human being I have ever met! She also did an amazing job on my hair! She evened it out for me and fixed my layers(realized I haven’t gotten a haircut in a year). She walked me through all the steps she was taking. She took her time and she spent time getting to know me and talking to me as well. She is the reason I will go back there now! If I could give more stars for her service I would!

Would give less stars. We visited from Virginia for family time and our family recommended a lady here. My son looks up to his older cousin, has adhd and sensory issues. So he hasnt had a haricut in a while. Offered to take him to her. They found out she left and showed a picture for hair inspo for my son. They said that Joey could do it. After a while My husband and brother mentioned it didn’t look like the picture and the stylist said he didn’t feel comfortable cutting more. My husband decided to have him stop completely, bc we didn’t want him to touch anymore. They actually paid so they could just leave. When I saw as his mom I didn't want to upset my 12 yo son, he had a good attitude, but it was clearly nothing at all what we asked for. We found someone at sports clips to fix his hair and they did amazing. I paid 25 plus supported by buy styling product at Sports clips done by andrea. My brother shared his disappointment to joey and joey acknowledged no wrong and expressed “he had been cutting hair for 30 years”. Do with that info what you want. Why would you accept a cut when you dont feel comfortable doing it? I would have recommended they went elsewhere. I am not pleased with JOEYS works. He literally just buzzed a huge rectangle near his temples, gave him blunt bangs and cut the back of his hair straight across. I added pictures to show inspo, before, after and then having to correct it at Sports Clips and even though its shorter my son is happy and thats all that matters.
