"Fellas looking for a fade, stay away from this place. I explained clearly what I was looking for and got sat down for 10 minutes like it was the barber shop at army basic training and there was zero effort. This wouldn’t be so bad if it was a 10 dollar clip but 25 dollars for the worst haircut I’ve had in a long time and of course I had to tip so theres the review."

"Jayli has been doing my hair for over 2 months now & I am so impressed with her work AND her professionalism! I have had tons of compliments on my new hair color & style. She’s top notch I’m my book! I finally found my permanent stylist! The whole team is wonderful & I’m never going anywhere else! Thank you for everything, Jayli!"

"Pretty disappointing. I took my daughter here instead of one of the chain stores, knowing I'd pay more but had high hopes for a better experience. The girl who cut both my hair and my daughter's hair seemed nice enough but also very inexperienced and more interested in her cell phone. She suggested a hair cut that would create more tangles for my tender headed kid. Thankfully another lady who was getting a hair cut suggested we not cut it that way based on her experience with her own kid and what sounded like good advice from a different stylist. The young lady talked trash about her last client who came back complaining about how she missed a bunch of hairs on her and it wasn't straight. I should have took that as my warning and not let my daughter get her hair cut there either. Lesson learned. The stylist that cut our hair did not even part my daughter's hair. She just said, "looks like it naturally wants to part here." which is to the side a bit and that's ok, but at least run a comb down it and make sure it's a straight part! I had to ask her to correct her cut on my daughter's hair about 4 times before we left and it's still not straight, mostly because she didn't part it straight. She also missed the under section of her hair entirely, where most stylists know to tell you to look down so they DON'T miss it. This girl had no idea. It seemed like all she cared was how fast she could get us in and out. I had 2 appointments and we were both done in less time than a single appointment. Had she taken more time, she might not have missed so much. My hair looks awful and she had zero clue about how to cut bangs. I had to correct her on my own bangs 6 times in the store and they are still messed up. It was frustrating that I had to tell her how to do HER job. She has no idea how to taper them so they don't look like an ugly fresh cut with chunky lines. I do better on my own. Very disappointing. I should have just went to one of the chain stores."
