However, the last year or so the quality of service has fallen so far down that I will not be going back and I think people should steer clear of this location. I gave them two, even three chances to redeem themselves, but the last straw for me was when came in and requested a "modern mullet" style haircut and even had an example. The cut I got is so terrible I actually felt the need to tell him myself before leaving. To make things worse the cut is practically not able to be saved and I might have to go straight to a buzz cut. I hope this helps someone make their decision.

Sure, they can get busy and booked and for good reason, but they always find a way to offer an alternative that works. The fact that most of their clients have been coming here for years speaks volumes about their consistency, professionalism, and customer service. Manny has been my go-to barber from the start, and now my son has the privilege of sitting in his chair too. It's more than just a haircut; it's tradition, trust, and family. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch service and a place that truly values its clients.

To make matters worse, the front desk only mentioned an upcharge at the end of the appointment, not before. The result looked like a completely standard haircut. 0 Stars. This is proof that this place is not focused on quality service. My 11-year-old has been coming here and we consistently pay $44 for a haircut plus a $10 tip I'm not asking for a discount, I just expect honesty. Instead, they sneak in extra charges without explanation. That's not a pricing issue, that's a integrity issue. The way they responded to my concern says everything about how they run their business. Being dismissive doesn't help their case it confirms it. Customers are clearly walking away, and it's not hard to see why. Shady practices catch up with you. This speaks volumes about your business. Where did $7-$8 come from? I never once said I wanted to pay $8. I have paid $40+ every single visit. That response wasn't a clarification it was deflection. If this is how you treat customers who raise a valid concern, you've already answered my question about the kind of business you run. I will be reporting this business.

It's always pleasant to walk into this barber shop and be greeted by Jen, the only Asian lady who always works closest to the door. She is my go-to barber when I don't feel like spending $25 for a haircut at all these other places that are starting to pop up all around town. I've seen up to 3 people wait for her once but that just tells you how good she is. But don't be hesitant to go to the other ladies. I've had cuts from them before but my personal preference is to be cut by Jen. Jen has never given me a bad haircut. I always ask for the same thing and she always delivers. I'm the "get in, get out" kind of customer when it comes to haircuts but Jen really likes to talk. Ok... she loves to talk but she's so sweet and she even makes herself laugh. I don't mind it! It's funny. She seems to work her magic just fine. She always offers to give me a line-up and a hard part but I always tell her I want to stay low-key and not look too much like a celebrity. She always laughs at that joke. Let's just say that when I get a haircut from Jen people still ask me where I get my haircut... in a good way!!
