I went for a simple bang trim. I was clear on what I wanted and that I didn't want to lose the shape of my bangs, which had been cut to frame my face. The stylist seemed very pleased with himself as he bragged about growing up in the industry and then mansplained geometry to me, saying that the strange way he twisted my bangs would do that.
It did not in fact do that, and I knew it wouldn't but I knew my new stylist vould fix it when I had my first appointment. At no point did he consider the actual cut I had or even ask me any questions about the cut or shape. I would have done a better job myself with kitchen scissors. Fortunately, bangs grow fast.
In a pinch this store has always been great for a quick trim but not this time. I came in with low expectations and still left disappointed. As did the other customer who had to come back to have the same stylist even out the uneven style he gave him.

First time going to this location. Checked in and then the computers went down - they all just stood there. More people came in, probably near 10-12 people waiting. One person left. A woman finally came in to address the computer situation and told them to get taking care of customers. I was frustrated by that point and left. Never going here again.
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.
