Took my daughter to get her bangs cut. The hairdresser (she has red hair, I’m sorry I didn’t catch her name), did a fantastic job! She asked many questions so my daughter would like the end result, making sure not to cut too short. It was quick and we were in and out. I have a very happy 10 year old who asked me to leave a review of how much loved her cut. Thank you!

The shop was so clean and I loved that we could get in line virtually before arriving. Christina did a great job listening to my tween and cutting the exact length she wanted - not too short like my kiddo had feared!

I should have trusted the review that said this was the worst haircut ever. Falicia was nice, but that doesn’t fix the fact that she completely messed up my hair. I told her I want layers but I have zero layers on my hair. On top of that, one side is visibly shorter than the other. That’s literally the most basic thing to get right. I’m genuinely so upset.
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.
