★★★★★ 5.0 Logan Jones · Feb 2026

It was great! I got a great cut for literally only 10 bucks! Really I’m a 14 yo and he did a low taper fade just fine they can do modern cuts

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Emir R · Dec 2025

I had no prior experience with this barbershop, and honestly the cut ended up way too short. Only the main barber — the one training the others — seemed to really understand what he was doing. Don’t try to save money by coming here, because you’ll regret the haircut for a week or two. When I walked in, they were cutting the hair of someone who was clearly under something, and they were making fun of him. The whole situation felt unprofessional and uncomfortable.

★★★★★ 5.0 Shahrukh · Jun 2025

It definitely is a 5-star in all aspects of the services they provide. They’ve student barbers training to become licensed barbers and have an instructor checking their work. Everytime I’ve been here I have gotten a top notch haircut, they’re really good at what they do! Their pricing is unmatched for the services they provide, definitely would recommend them!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Giovanny Lopez · Nov 2024

Haircut was good, but took WAY TOO LONG! I had an appointment at 12:15 got there around 12:05 and was seated pretty fast. My hair isn’t that long and I just needed a mid fade and trim off the top. Thought it might take an hour at most but I walked out around 1:53 and ended up late to my class at 2:05. Staff was friendly and understand the barbers are learning but a cut should not be taking almost 2 hours! I don’t know maybe I’m the crazy one!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 CJ · Apr 2024

I’m really frustrated with trying to get a haircut here. I’m been here a couple of times over the last few years, the first time I showed I booked an appointment - but the guy next to me didn’t and he was given a haircut first. Ok, so I learned appointments don’t mean much just walk in. Next I try to walk in and am told I need an appointment after 1pm. Ok, next I get there before noon. I wait an hour and two guys with appointments who showed up after me are given haircuts. I walk out. I really enjoyed getting haircuts here, but I’d rather not sit in that waiting room for another minute.
