I had the best experience of my life Friday the 20th of February. My stylist, Nikki did an amazing job. She was knowledgeable, patient, and cut my hair better than I expected even though she had a horrible experience prior to my appointment. I would highly recommend anyone who wants a quality haircut with patient staff to come into the shop. I was treated like royalty even though I had a late appointment. Staff greeted me with respect and didn’t rush me even though it was close to closing. Thank you to the staff for your professionalism patience and kindness. I can’t wait to book again!!!!!!!Posted on Joe Gumble2026-02-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alex is amazing! This is the best haircut I’ve ever had.
