Been coming here since 2022. My go-to haircut spot. Usually in-and-out in around 20 minutes or so. Cannot complain.

Took my elderly mom to get her haircut today. They were very understanding of her cognitive difficulties she is experiencing. You made her day as she said she feels much younger now. Thank you
