- MLMichael Luchterhand2 days ago1.0Last great clips I’ll ever go to. Gave them a second shot? And nope they didn’t ask me anything before just butching me. Was looking for an inch off and they cut probably 3x that. Never again
- MMmaiaNov 16, 20251.0horrible. i came home sobbing because the lady cutting my hair had no clue what she was doing and i ended up with a completely different style than what i had asked for

- ADAnusha DikkalaOct 19, 20251.0We had a haircut for my son and husband today.while the lady ( straight black hair) was doing haircut for my child, i clearly was asking for a partition to be done before the haircut. The person was rude and just told me she know what she was doing. She didnt even wet the hair and just was in rush while doing it. Once it finished then when i was complaining the haircut was not good, then she came up and saying that she can correct now or we can come after 2 days . Im not sure what so much for them to do a haircut of what we ask. We have been coming here couple of times, and this will be last in here. Really diappointed!!
