"I don't normally leave reviews but this place gets one. I have never been to a more unprofessional hair establishment in my life. A year ago I gave them a shot and the gal who was supposed to cut my hair was 20 min late. Yesterday I thought I'd give one more shot since I so desperately needed a hair trim and didn't want to pay a lot. But let me tell you, you get what you pay for! I had an appointment with someone at 2 o clock. First I walk in and the ladies working there don't acknowledge me, so I just sit down and wait a few minutes. 15 minutes goes by and still nothing. 25 minute mark and then finally someone comes over and asks if I had an appointment and I tell them I did. They tell me the gal who was supposed to cut my hair is running late and to give her 5 more minutes. I wait 5 more minutes and I just hear multiple woman working there laughing in the backroom having a good time and not helping me. As I'm watching too, one of the employees goes in the backroom and her customer stands up and starts blow drying her own hair. Another minute later another employees son walks in , stands at a station and just starts shaving his beard off. Finally after 35 min, one lady comes out and offers to cut my hair. The lady was nice enough, but in the end my hair was so chopped up and uneven I walked into my home only to have people literally shocked at how bad my hair looked. I had to get hair fixed by a real professional later in the day. Oh and the lady who was supposed to do my hair originally, finally showed up 45 minutes late and comes and apologizes saying "she's just been so busy with the new year craziness and there was traffic". I'm sorry but there's no excuses if you have an appointment at 2 you should be there at least 30 minutes early to prep and make sure you and your station are ready. Anyone planning to go here, don't unless you want a memorably bad experience and a terrible hair cut."

"I am VERY picky about my hair as it’s super thick and hard to manage. Michele Keith has been my go to hair dresser for the past few years and I would never go anywhere else. In the 30 years I’ve been coloring my hair she is by far the best colorist! I have never met a better hair dresser than Michele."
