had this to say:
I have been here for a haircut for myself, one for my daughter, and an eyebrow wax. It was all excellent. It did take a little more time, but I didnt mind as the students were friendly. LOVED the outcome of each service and was SO impressed with the cost! Such a great value! I will 100% be going back frequently.

I showed them a picture that involved multiple colors and my hair needing to be lightened and I’m so happy with the result. It was a long process and they were pleasant and kind the entire time. My son also got a great haircut from a friendly and patient stylist that looks wonderful.
