The Girls at this location are just great. They listen and pay attention to detail. I was in town to visit my son who lives in town and desperately needed a haircut. We stopped and boy am I sure glad we did. Highly recommend this place for all who need a quick haircut.

Walked in listened to three hair stylist at the front trying to figure out an issue on the POS system from a previous customer, not one thought to greet me. Waited a couple more minutes see if they would acknowledge I was standing there decided to walk out.
Simple hey we’ll be right with you, would’ve been enough. Better luck with the next guy.

The reservation doesn't mean anything. If you are told 180 minutes the restart reservations in 60min to avoid communication! Lies and poor management. You are at risk depending on who is working. Arrogance abounds. Don't trust their weekend folks. Normally not an issue.
