- TMTed MigdalDec 4, 20254.0They cut you fast... No frills... Crank em out. Not a fan but sometimes ya just need it done now.
- BBBryan BennettNov 28, 20251.0Was not happy with the end result. There is a tuft of hair near my kallik, that was left standing. There's a point in the front that was not trimmed. Didn't see this while it was all damp. But then after it dried, not a good haircut at all. And the stylist was very annoying with talking about kids' movies. I'm a 59-year-old Marine. I don't watch kids' movies.
- 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
