- JZJustin ZNov 8, 20255.0Excellent service, Kerstin was extremely personable and courteous! I was in and out very quickly with exactly the look I wanted. She made sure that my style was to my satisfaction after I mentioned my previous hair cut from a different barber shop wasn't fully up to par. I would 100% recommend this location, you will not be disappointed.

- GJGlen JenkinsOct 19, 20251.0Absolutely horrible experience, and the worker tried to be a social worker after I asked MY Daughter to leave. She left the store and followed us to our car. I'm calling the better business bureau Monday. Your workers should keep views to them selves, just saying.
