Went in to get a fresh new look for myself, came out with the same haircut I had before. Stylist refused to cut my hair how I asked for it to be cut due to her personal preference of long hair. I felt intimidated to not say anything out of fear my hair cut may have been messed up. So I wasted money to get the opposite of what I wanted.

Worst haircut of my life, they hire people with barely any experience and no idea how to layer.

So far, this has been the worst salon experience I've had. The customer service was disappointing from the start. A guy named D handled my haircut, and the quality was poor. I had to point out several missed areas myself, which should never be the case at a professional salon. He seemed rushed the entire time and didn’t take the time to ensure the cut was done properly. Once he was “finished,” he didn’t even offer me a hair dryer or any basic finishing service. Just terrible service overall — I won’t be returning.
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.
