Customer Reviews
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
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.
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!
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!
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.
