- EJEd Olearczyk (Edward Francis James)Sep 13, 20253.0Went here for years before they closed and reopened. Started going back and had good experiences. Just cautious to see if the service level stays good.
- BLBethany LandisSep 11, 20251.0Horrible hair cut and not a pleasant hair stylist. Wouldn't recommend. It was clear the woman never did a Mohawk in her life, which is hard to imagine it being your career. Never going back
- KSKatiee SkyeeAug 24, 20251.0We said we wanted my son shorter on the sides and longer on the top and she shaved him head with the sides longer than the top and they were extremely rude.
- JSJoseph SorensenAug 24, 20251.0They did a horrible job on my son.
- EFEric FeastAug 18, 20251.0Horrible experience. I was clear about how I wanted my haircut, and the lady basically told me that the hair stylist in her wouldn't let her cut it like that. Did not do what I asked and although she was friendly, it was quite annoying.
