Never a wait and they always do a great job. The haircut barely cost $20 so I try to tip the same amount in cash. It's well worth $40 to get a good haircut, especially since my friend who happens to be a woman tells me she spends almost $300 to go get her hair done!

Nice people but I never really get what I want. Usually is fine enough but the girl who cut my hair this time went way to short. I said I wanted it just above my shoulders and long enough to put up in a ponytail. I told her I was okay to use a couple of clips if pieces fell out which I guess was my mistake. She cut it so short that I can't even get it up. I definitely didnt want a bob. Its hair and will grow back but its super frustrating
