Honestly if I could give no stars I absolutely would.
I will NEVER come back to this location. I went in for an undercut. THATS IT. An undercut is NOT something a hair stylist should mess up.
Not only is my entire undercut uneven, but the stylist didn't separate the undercut from the top of my head fully and SHAVED OFF part of my long hair. The stylist only put up half my hair at a time, didn't compare sides to make sure they were even AT ALL, and decided to like up my neck without a cape on (unfastened it) so I have tony scratchy hair all the way down my back.
My girlfriend who has NO stylist experience is going to have to fix the cut I PAID for. It is genuinely atrocious and I hardly ever leave reviews.
DO NOT COME TO THIS LOCATION. Doesn't matter how friendly the staff is if the job is far below par.

I will NEVER be coming back here again.
I have been going to multiple great clips to get my bangs trimmed for probably the last six or seven years. I happen to be in the area this particular day and really needed one, so I stopped there. HORRIBLE. in all the times I have gotten my bangs trimmed, I have never had it be anything less than 10 to 15 minutes in the chair. The stylist did not even tell me her name and only asked what I wanted briefly before taking scissors to my bangs. I was very specific in my approach of what I wanted and informed her of this, but she was done within two Scissor strokes and then tried to put her stuff away. I was appalled. She didn’t ask me any more questions. I then told her she needed to trim the face framing pieces too, as those are part of the bangs, and she said, “oh, I didn’t even notice those!” I’m sorry, but they’re plain as day blended in well with the bangs and are part of that. At minimum, she could’ve asked. She very much presented like she didn’t know anything about cutting hair correctly and I was so angry I paid and left. I will NEVER come back to this location. I understand people have to start somewhere, but I have had my hair butchered so many times and this did not help!

THE WORST bang trim ive ever had in my LIFE. Some girl with black hair started on my bangs and acted like she had never cut hair before, my bangs were completely uneven after asking multiple times to fix it, i ended up giving up trying to ask. Seriously the worst place.

This place is a revolving door of students fresh out of school who have no idea what they are doing. I've been coming here off and on for a couple of years. You have about a 10% chance that you get someone who has any idea how to cut hair. Usually it's if the manager cuts it. Otherwise it's just a bunch of 20 yr old girls who can't cut hair and won't ask for help when they should. Set your expectations as low as possible before going here.
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.
