The people here are always very wonderful. They go above and beyond and I'm always super happy with my haircut. I tell him exactly what I'm looking for and they give me exactly what I need. I absolutely love it.

Stopped in January 14th right after opening. The stylist was very friendly and accommodating. I don't remember the name, but she wore a salmon pink top, and said she had just moved to MKE from Michigan. I wear a reverse bob which was cut with expert precision. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

I was happy with my previous haircuts, but since the change in ownership a few months ago, I have *repeatedly* shown up at a normal time to find them closed during normal hours. I don't have time for this.
I did email customer service and got a canned response from corporate and a snide response from the franchisee.

The staff was very nice and I had a good coupon to use, but I was dissatisfied with my haircut. I asked for a trim to get rid of split ends, and said I thought that was 1-2 inches. I also asked my stylist Bree for her opinion. She cut maybe an inch off where my hair was thinning in the back. After leaving, I noticed that there are still many split ends in my hair and I can't tell a difference in my hair length. I was too socially shy to request her to cut more, so I guess that's on me. However, I was still disappointed and will go to another salon to fix it because I'm too embarrassed to go back.
You do get what you pay for. If you want a quick, easy trim - this is definitely the place to go and I do still recommend it.
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.
