Loan Nguyen provided the service for the haircut and while trimming the area around neck and behind ears after haircut she used the trimmer which was either damaged or having bad blades resulted in scratches, bruises and injuries all over the back of the neck and behind ears. When I complained about the trimmer blade is hurting she said "you are sensitive" and continued. Don't want to post the picture of my neck with all the scratch lines and bruises but this is totally unprofessional. A complete disappointment.

Ms. Parnia (stylist and manager) was patient and courteous towards my 85 year old dad and did a perfect hair cut per his super satisfaction!

I took my son for a haircut, but unfortunately the result was not good. A few minutes later I returned and asked them to fix it, but the barber did not act professionally. Even though he cut it shorter, the scissor marks were still visible. This is the second time they have ruined my son’s haircut. I don’t want to mention any names, but overall they are not professional in either their work or their behavior. If you are looking for clean and quality service, I do not recommend this branch at all.
