Second time coming to this barber shop, the staff are friendly and very cool atmosphere. I chose Zac for the first time and second time that I have recieved a haircut and beard trim from him. He takes his time and does his best to make sure he is doing what you want done. He takes good notes on his clients and insures he asks several times how you feel about your hair. Definitely recommend Zac to anyone.

I booked a 5:20 PM appointment for just a beard trim and showed up about ten minutes early. Almost right away, I was greeted by Juleika, who made me feel completely at home. From the moment I sat down, I could tell this was a completely different experience. She asked multiple times if I w

The barber shop is simply immaculate, presenting a truly pristine environment. My personal barber, Akira, consistently delivers a fantastic job, demonstrating exceptional skill. It's a pleasure to experience such a high standard of service and cleanliness. The attention to detail in both the grooming and the upkeep of the establishment is noteworthy. I appreciate the dedication to providing such a positive experience.
