I went in to get a trim and asked to take off 2 inches only. She asked if I wanted it cut straight and I said yes, but after she had taken off way more than two inches, she gave me a full haircut that I didn’t want, and layered my hair when I had already said yes to a straight cut for the trim. I was so sad after I saw what she did to my hair. I wouldn’t recommend going here for a simple trim, you won’t get it.

I wanted 1 inch cut off my hair, and Hannah decided to take creative liberties to make the top of my head stick up and to cut the sides and back WAY too short. She also charged me $12 for a shave where she cut my lip, then told me I moved as if she did not face her razor up at my nose on my top lip. This meant that as she did her upwards movement the tip of the razor started below my top lip, moving into it, then finally onto my skin. Every other shave I've ever gotten had the razor faced down and started under my nose, finishing before my top lip even starts. After that she was careless with the other parts of my face, leaving it super irritated. The whole experience was irritating and her arrogance regarding not caring about how I wanted my hair cut was disappointing. I probably wouldn't have left a review if she didn't cut my lip.

Veterans day. Free Cut. Can't complain about the price. The cut was as the name implies...great. Nice conversation with both stylists a male and female during my cut. The female lady(of S.Korean ethnicity)was particularly entertaining. Lively enthusiastic and both thanked me for my service. Quality people.

Had a great haircut and shampoo, at a good price. $23 for everything, with no hidden costs. My Filipino stylist was pleasant and informative, making sure I was happy with the service and my haircut. I enjoyed going here and feel that I got very good value for my money. Definitely better than most of the places in this area, and I found it was a better experience overall, and was well worth the price I paid. Definitely making this my regular place for haircuts.
