- TLTerry LeeOct 30, 20255.0Great place; clean and well organized place. It’s close to my home with little or no wait. Liz was nice, professional and made me feel comfortable and relaxed
- ARA ROct 5, 20251.0CORPORATE NEEDS TO KNOW YOU REFUSED SERVICE TO WASH AND DRY A CUSTOMERS HAIR IN THE LAST HOUR BEFORE CLOSE. SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST LAZY!!
- IGIsaiah GonzalesSep 27, 20251.0Received one of the worst haircuts of my life. The stylist didn't follow what was instructed and cut my hair too short. She tapered too high and even cut off the right side of my bangs with clippers, even after I asked her to cut them with scissors. It would have been one thing if the cut was just too short, but the lady couldn't even tell that it was completely uneven with hairs sticking out especially in the back. The stylist completely rushed and seemed more focused on having a conversation rather than doing the cut right. I had to go to another location off San Pedro/281 to fix the cut, but the damage was already done. Normally I wouldn't complain, but tomorrow, my wife and I have a photoshoot for her pregnancy, and the lady who originally cut my hair today completely ruined it. I'm never returning to this location.
- RRronnjusAug 1, 20255.0Liz is the best stylist. Always has a welcoming smile and fun to talk too.
- CGCarol GuerreroJul 26, 20255.0Requested Graeson ( manager) who had cut my daughter's hair beautifully. She did not dissappoint! Love my hair cut and will continue to let her continue with my hair as I let it grow some length. Also, she is very nice to work with. Great manager choice.
