My stylist Larue was very pleasant and calming, she loves doing fades and I love the one I got from her. Price was reasonable and the wait was a breeze. Thank you for great experience.

I had one of the worst haircuts ever at this location. The stylist was rude, wouldn't even look at a few photos I had of how I like my hair to look (pics of my own hair), and did a terrible chop job in my hair, especially the bangs. I simply wanted some layers and texturing and she couldn't even do that. She also reeked of stake cigarette smoke, especially her hands. I won't go back there and can't wait for this mess to grow out some so I can get it straightened up.
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.
