I pass by this salon sometimes on my way home and there are times when this salon has its lights on…read moreuntil well past times that you would think a salon would be open and there's nothing but music and people laughing loudly, that definitely kept me away when I needed a cut. I walked in the other day though and it was quiet and I got seated quickly. My haircut is an easy. I just have someone run some clippers through my hair and it's pretty much done...almost to the point that I feel kind of cheated whenever I get charged more than 10 bucks for a haircut. They charge 12 here for a men's haircut and I felt like a king. The barber took his time, made sure everything was set then ran some disinfectant on me before he trimmed my sideburns and edges with a straight razor. I haven't had a razor trim in a while and it's one of those little touches that I miss and appreciate when I get it. 12 bucks for all that isn't too bad and I can always run home for a quick shampoo so it's a pretty good deal for me.

But Karn is so great, I would travel to her even if I lived a farther distance away. I also find their pricing to be cheap/fair for all of their services.

Other than that, the other barbers aren't our fav. Walked in around 6pm and didn't have to wait at all. I got the guy who has yellow brassy hair, short cut, and I think was wearing colored contacts. Didn't need anything too complicated.. long bands, a rounded back and about 8 inches off. I loved that he didn't take off more than I wanted and LISTENED. Very important as that's how you keep customers from returning. Also had some hair lotion in my hair and blowout. Paid a total of $25 + Tips so not bad at all. Note - this was for haircut without wash and a blowout.

My review is for only a haircut on medium length hair…read more The person I got to cut my hair was a male with a man bun and coppery dyed hair. I asked for shoulder length hair and mentioned I was going through postpartum hair loss and thought to mention that as that should effect the haircut? He didn't respond and started on the haircut. The only thing he said to me as i sat in the chair was "wow you have a lot of hair". Two minutes in after he started sectioning my hair and started cutting straight across on the bottom layer, he left for a good amount of time to collect payment from another customer. When he came back I mentioned that I would also like some layers, so it wasn't just a straight across cut. His response was that the length I requested would cause my hair to flip up on the back and how about some longer layers? I said sure. At this time, I keep my hair tied up anyways to prevent hair falling everywhere. The staff used a small skinny comb to get through my hair which I found insufficient. It was tugging on my tangled hair. After I mentioned I wanted some layers, he started giving me a haircut with his thinning shears. This continued for at least 95% of the haircut. I was really shocked. Not only that, he was using it in a very strange way. I have thick hair so I'm no stranger to hair dressers often using them to thin out my hair. He was cutting the bottom three inches and SLIDING down the rest of my hair. It was tugging and pulling my hair as the shears were stuffed with cut hairs. Not only did this result in broken ends but this stripped the ends of my hair. It's been two weeks at least and I'm still getting broken ends falling off. My hair is so unhealthy now. It seemed like he was annoyed because I felt the back of my hair and it was really thinned out! The sides of my hair were choppy and thick. It felt like a lawn mower ran across the back of my head. The hair dresser also sprayed a lot of water on my head, and didn't bother to blow dry my hair dry at least. I came in with dry hair. It was a rainy Saturday and I left like that. No styling product in my hair and didn't show me the back of my hair with a mirror. He asked me "how's the length?" I responded with "good." And that was the end of the haircut. I'm very disappointed in this hair salon as I frequented it before but seems like all the staff changed.

Didn't have high expectations due…read moreto the limited amount of reviews posted, but here is my experience: -------------------------------------------------- Phone call: No hold time, person was responsive, eager, and patient answering my questions. Atmosphere: There is one flight of steep stairs leading up to the entrance, with approximately 10-15 steps. The place is well-maintained, with clean floors/chairs, and comfortable/clear lighting. There are more than 5 seats available and an ottoman for waiters. Wait time: I went Sunday evening at 6PM and there was no one else there. I was seated right away. COVID: No temperature checks or plexiglass set up, but all 3 workers there were wearing masks. Service: The owner was polite and greeted me as I walked in. I requested a haircut, she told me the price, then directed me to sit and assigned a hairdresser my way. The hairdresser that took care of me was nice and friendly. She did not try to make small talk with me, but that's completely fine. It was a relaxing experience. When I showed her pictures, the owner was attentive and came over to make sure she understood exactly what I wanted before the cut. I don't believe the staff besides the owner speaks much English. Cut: The handwork was professional, she knew what she was doing. She used multiple scissors/clippers and wasn't aggressive. It did not take very long, maybe about 30 minutes. She took her time to make sure the layering and shaping up was perfect. She asked me if I wanted a wash and/or hair gel after. It came out looking like the pictures I showed her. Surprisingly, she cut my hair exactly how I want it (I usually have to mention to barbers to cut it shorter or round off the edges). It seems like she knew what "look" would fit me best the first time she saw me and I was impressed. When I went home and checked in the mirror, there were a few stray long hairs left near my ears (probably because of the mask). This didn't bother me much since it's not that uncommon with other barbers. Not saying it was the best haircut I've ever had but I would come back here.

Upon entering, the soles of your shoes are disinfected, your temperature is taken, and hand sanitizer provided. Def made a good impression right off the bat. I requested Alvin as my hair stylist after reading all the great reviews. My haircut turned into an impromptu color as well after recommendations from Alvin. I had wanted to change my hair color for some time now, but never could settle on a color. So I put the decision in Alvin's hands! It turned out amazing. I love the color (although I'm still not sure what to call the color). And I was thankful he warned me not to freak out after the first of two coloring and wash because my hair was orange. I want to also give a shoutout to Amy who helped Alvin wash and color my hair. She was very thorough and offered me water multiple times. I would definitely recommend this salon to anyone who needs a little hair pampering.
