Melissa is who I always have cut my hair at this location. I've been coming here for years. I moved to the other side of town, but it is worth the drive for me to have my hair cut by a very friendly, and professional stylist who always does an amazing job! The salon is always clean and with online check in the wait is minimal.

STAY AWAY unless you want a fungal or bacterial infection. I was there today and watched them service several clients without sanitizing their equipment. I reported to the health department and would suggest everyone else to as well.
Mens, womens, kids and senior haircuts as well as bang, neck and beard trims. Other haircare services include shampoo, blow dry, or hair styling such as an updo. Select salons offer perm services.
