Tom and everyone else, thank you for always providing good service and a good experience. I have been coming here since high school, about 10 years ago. That says enough.
(Meant to leave this review a few days ago, sorry Tom!)

This location has been through a lot of changes in management and employees, I hope for the better. About a year ago, miscommunication between them and a Muslim woman led to a not so private haircut for her. I suggested they have a screen available. This would not only show their respect for customers, but could also lead to more business. I was told this idea wouldn’t make it past management…? However, Tom is my go-to hair-cutter. He listens, makes suggestions and is willing to do some odd requests I have. At my last visit I brought in a picture of what I wanted- he found more that showed what the sides and back would look like making sure that is what I wanted. It turned out great and I’m going back for a trim.

I have been getting my haircut since this store opened. Seen many hairstylists come and go. Danny the owner works hard to get the best he can find. Well he did, his name is Frank ! Outstanding individual from A to Z, and the best part is the man can cut hair. He is an Artist with scissors and clippers. I NEVER have received a bad cut from Frank over many years he's cut my hair. Great Hire Danny ! Danny, I would also commend you for running a clean and friendly atmosphere store. Thank You !

I logged on to the app it showed a 46 minute wait time and 3 stylists working. I added myself to the queue and waited at home for 30 minutes. I left my home and drove to the "salon" which took about 10 -12 minutes. I arrived and there were 2 stylists working, both were cutting hair. The older man with accent finished his cut and took the next customer, a pre-teen boy with short hair. His father went with the son. There did not seem to be any reason for Dad to go back there other than to chit chat, they didn't discuss hair. The employee and Dad talked about summer camp, church, the homily, Hall and Oates, musical tastes etc. It went on and on. TOO MUCH TALKING NOT ENOUGH CUTTING!!! This went on for 30 minutes. A basic 12 yr old male haircut should not take this long. EVER.
FINALLY it's my turn. He apologized for the wait and tried to take me back to the chair. He did not sweep or clean or do anything. I "hinted" that he was in fact, NOT ready for me by looking back at his work area which was trashed with several peoples hair and trash. I refuse to sit it that! He took the hint and swept his area, didn't do much else cleaning.
I got in the chair, told him what I wanted. He asked no questions, offered no suggestions and he gave me the quickest hack job of a cut I ever received. He did not blend the sides into the top leaving me to look like I have a toupee sitting on top of a shaved head. Yes, I told him I didn't want the top cut, but do I have to tell him to blend? I personally think it's common sense to blend. If it's not, then maybe ask for clarification?
I tipped because I'm not a jerk. I also know it's not his fault that the app is quoting incorrect times and # of stylists.
I came home broke out the clippers and did some blending of my own. I didn't trust that he could fix the mess he made.
Wasn't the first haircut by him, I didn't love the first one either, but it was better. The other guy there isn't much better. The women are hit and miss and come and go, rarely see them ever again.
A previous female who worked there made it my responsibility to figure out what clipper I wanted her to use because "she used metal not plastic and they are different". Ummmm, aren't you the expert, you should know what that means then.
Overall, this place is a mess. I'm guessing it's ownership or management related. I'll be switching locations, I've had enough of the nonsense 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.
