Today I went in with a time constraint for a haircut. I got Samantha and she did an exceptional job! She got me washed and cut in perfect time for me to make it to class on time! Samantha did an amazing job and was super nice!

Absolutely fantastic spot! The pricing and ambiance are phenomenal, and the added bonus is that you're supporting a student who happens to be your best friend. Rosa Arnold excelled in handling my color and style; her charisma and professionalism made me feel like a million bucks.

Took my toddler boy in this afternoon to get a haircut with Alix and it was the absolute best experience I've ever had getting his hair cut! He typically screams and hates getting his hair cut but Alix went above and beyond to help him feel safe and make it so fun for him! He absolutely enjoyed his time and didn't want to leave!!! His hair cut is so cute and I'm 1000000% satisfied with every aspect of our experience there! Go see Alix!! You definitely won't regret it
