- JRJ Roland5 days ago1.0I had a very bad experience. When I first walked in, it smelt like pot and I asked the hairstylist that I smelt pot. She just chuckled about it. She cut my hair and butchered my hair and I kindly asked her about her years of experience and she told my 2 years. I didn't get her name. Clearly she was probably still in school for haircut. Good thing there was another hairstylist and I hoodlums asked her if she could fix my hair. She did a good job and I was telling her my experience of other places and told her the worst place I got a hair cut was at Walmart in Ogden, UT. Then she tells me you better not me taking about my girl, meaning her coworker that night. I'm never going back to that place. I recommend find a different place to get your haircut. This was at 7:30pm
- JEjubilee eApr 22, 20261.0Terrible! I don’t recommend this place. The stylist was kinda rude to my son and ruined his hair. I had to go to another place to fix the whole haircut.
