- HBHeather BakerOct 27, 20251.0Took my son here yesterday, we've been going here for years for him. He has ASD his usual girl wasn't there, and he got someone new to cut his hair. We've been working for years to get him used to getting his hair cut, with his usual girl. The new girl cut the hair uneven in the back. Dad took him right back in after he seen how uneven it was to get it fixed she said he had cow licks which is why it's uneven. He doesn't have cow licks in the back. Needless to say he didn't get it fixed. I can't add pictures of the back for some reason

- SSSue SAug 14, 20255.0Always go here for haircuts. Never much of a wait and the stylists are always friendly.
- FMFlic MastersAug 4, 20251.0Use to be a good place to get a haircut, now it is not, lady ruined my hair big time. I showed her several pictures and even asked if that is something she could do. If not then I had no problem going to another place. She stated “yes, I can do it”. How come when she finished I looked like 1 of the 12 approved haircuts from North Korea. Definitely the worst haircut ever, will not be going back and will not be recommending to anyone.
