Owner won't take any coupons and I found like seven of them on facebook and the internet, and she won't take any of them. Very unfriendly.

I don’t remember her name, I hope you can find it from my account. I had the same lady cut my hair the last 2 times and she does an amazing job.

My significant other went in this morning for a basic fade haircut. The stylist was the bigger girl (sorry, do not know her name.) The cut turned out choppy, too short in some areas and too long in others. He had to tell the stylist that she missed some areas and she did not even show him what the cut looked like in the back. He's not happy and says it was a terrible haircut and will not be back. I am not a hair stylist, but I could tell this is not a good haircut.
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.
