Was “next in line” for 45 mins until I finally left. I watched the hairdressers get done with their clients only to stand around and chat about how much they hate working at other locations. “Swept”the hair on the floor for 30 minutes after each client. P

This is the only place where I get my haircut. I'm a senior, and the price is so affordable. So close to home, and most of the time I wait for a particular team member. I wear a short pixie, and she gets the cut perfect every time.

If I could give this place no stars I will, the manager is extremely rude to employees and costumers, I went In for a toddler haircut I sign in and ask the lady how long was her waiting she said 15/20 min I was there waiting for an hour, when the lady was helping me calm down my toddler the manager steps In and says “if he dosnt stop crying she’s going to have to stop” he wasn’t even moving as much just crying, the lady felt bad for what the manager said and told me in Spanish if you want you can come in again next week so we can finish up bc my manager is getting upset , I told her to stop and that wasn’t going to pay full price on something that was half way done, and left. I have never hade any problems with my toddler getting haircuts, I don’t recommend you taking toddlers here and wasting your money and time.
