- RSRyan ShimmelDec 23, 20251.0Coming in to this location for a haircut and being told I have to give them my address! What does my address have to do with me getting a haircut? Please someone explain that to me.
- ABAmie BontragerDec 18, 20255.0Wait time was a little longer than expected, but service was excellent! Crystal fixed my botched curtain bangs into a really cute layered look without cutting my hair as short as I’d expected it’d need to be! Very nice atmosphere, and low-pressure for small talk coming from a very anxious person)
