Lexi cut my hair today and did a fantastic job. Beat cut I’ve ever gotten as a reasonable professional. She has 13 years of experience and very sweet. She is very professional and a master of her craft. If you are booking a hair cut from this location, ask for Lexi. She has the experience you are looking for.
