I have brought my eight year old son here twice to get his haircut and both times the stylist were awesome. I checked in on line both times with very little wait time. The stylist was very professional,kind and very considerate about how to cut my son’s hair and did a remarkable job. The atmosphere is nice, friendly and welcoming.

Ayana is a skilled stylist. She did my son’s haircut (and he is a wiggler). Little wait time. The online scheduling is really convenient.

The person who gave me a haircut here is either the least competent person who ever cut my hair or gave me a bad haircut on purpose.
First, they left the hair on one side of my head much longer than the other. It was hard to tell while my hair was still wet, but it was about an inch longer on the right side of my head.
Second, I asked for my hair to be short on the sides and tapered up at the top. They started the taper way too low and left my hair very long on the side near the top.
Finally, after I made them fix the position of the taper, they left me basically without a taper, with the hair length abruptly changing from short to long near the top of my head.
