Make sure you take a picture of what you want if it is a specific style…..I now have a very sad 10 year old with hardly any hair left. At least it looks decent now after a trip to Whitson’s Barber Shop. For reference I will include a picture of a modern mullet so hopefully No one else has to experience this.

I have been going here for several years. All are very good, but yesterday I got the BEST haircut I have ever had by anyone! I wear my hair short, so it’s hard to find someone who can get it just right! I’m always nervous when someone new cuts my hair. Her name is Gay! Gay, you are one of the BEST at what you do!!! Thank you!!

First time going to this place. I went veterans day and received a free haircut. They are very efficient. The young lady who cut my hair was very friendly and did a great job. I will go back
