★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Garrett Wheeler · Dec 2025

I’m always nervous going to a new place because for some reason a lot of people don’t know how to cut long hair/ only know how to do fades. Normally I go to Andre hair salon which does a great job and is cheaper (go there instead), but it was closed. I asked for no more than an inch off my hair as I prefer my hair long. He proceeded to cut perhaps 4 inches off of my hair. He was also super rough with my head and seemed quite impatient. He also ONLY cut in straight lines. I have curtains hair and it doesn’t even curtain anymore lmao. I’ll be wearing a hat for a couple weeks. I’ve attached the before and after photos as well as the sample photo I gave him of my last cut. Afterwards he said “it looks just like the photo you gave!” Since these people get a lot of similar reviews, perhaps they

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 A Trainor · Nov 2025

I don’t often give weight to online reviews, so I didn’t for this barber shop. I am filled deeply with regret. Unfortauntely the reviews are true, they 1) don’t listen to what you ask of them and give you whatever haircut they feel is right. 2) Were weirdly mean, not only to me, but I could hear them speaking about other customers. The haircut they gave me was nice though. If you are into being degraded and humiliated, I guess this is the place for you? Won’t be coming back.

Boy this place has gone down hill. Went to have my head saved with a nunber 1 razor. The guy kills the top of my head, misses hair in the back, gets in to a pushing match with the barber in the chair next to him (I'm not kidding, "You stay on your mat, I'll stay on mine"), then pours some much crap on my head that goes strait down my back that I have to demand a towel to wipe the crap off. They need to beathalize these guys before they work here.

Mohamed gives me haircuts which my wife and I both like! He is both meticulous and courteous, so I recommend him to everyone.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Art Blackburn · Jul 2023

Today was my first and last visit to La Flamme. I agreed on $25 for a 5 minute bald guy haircut which is $5 more than I usually pay. Once he had me in his clutches, the barber painfully dug into my scalp numerous time. He flipped my ear back and forth with the clippers, skimmed over numerous parts of my scalp and wore a sadistic grin most of the time. I was glad when he was finished and opted not to have him apply his lotions after the cut. Needless to say, I won't be returning. Although the haircut was good, the "in store experience" was bitterly painful.
