I am completely disappointed with this salon. My wife and I went in 20 min before closing and were told that they were not taking any more walk-ins. The new owner compared to the old owner is a huge difference I can definitely say the slogan ("It's going to be Great") does not fit.

Checked in at 10:30 with a roughly 90 minute wait stated. Arrived a little before noon and waited 10 minutes before getting in the chair. Hair was cut as requested and out the door by 12:15. Very happy with the service. This was my first time using the app. I will definitely use it again in the future.

My husband came in to get a haircut, he waited for an hour and a half. They finally took him and butchered his hair. They only spent 10 minutes cutting it and he had told them he had two cowlicks and needed special treatment to deal with them. He probably won’t need a haircut for months! he is wearing a cap to cover up the poor haircut he received.
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.
