Coming here would waste more time than staying home and trying to cut your hair yourself with scissors. Come in my first time and ask for a simple fade, dude recedes my hairline to add an extra 10 years to my age, along with the most horrendous line up I've ever seen. Then when I call him out on it, he stops me in the middle of the haircut to take me out the chair, bring me to a mirror (when we already had one in front of us) to explain how I was wrong, to the guy who gets his hair cut every 2 weeks and knows what a straight line looks like. With the worst part of the whole thing being the 35$ charge for a simple fade and lineup which he messed up both and said I was wrong and didn't know my own hair Regardless, having a razor at home and simple common sense comes in handy for situations like this. I Guess don't trust every 4 star barbershop, and make sure you actually know people who go to places like this and can give you real reviews instead of people over the internet. Best of luck!

Y'all are missing out, Nina. Ladies and Gentlemen, you want your eyes brows on fleek, She's the one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's a great barber!!!!

Quick and talented barbers! Love going here. It's generally a quiet place that kept clean.

Service requested is a little tricky because there are no reservations accepted and the wait could be substantial. Thus the one minus star. The barbers are amazing very good at their craft. If you're looking for a lineup a shape up a shave this is your place. The vibe is hip and cool. The prices are respectable; not too high to low.

Fade/ tapered barber shop. Cuts to cost are reasonable but you'll have to talk to customers to learn who is best. Some cuts & beard styles walk outta here looking astounding. While there are others that are janky beginning to end. Jagged, misaligned fades and lining. Yet they will ask for that full money. There are good and bad barbers. Some could use scissors but most use an electric shaver. Sit awhile and you'll see whose chair is always in use. Also pay attention to how they maintain their work stations and tools. I remember one barber that never cleaned station or his tools. So whenever he would reach for the electric shaver, his tool would scratch my head leaving a mark. I have seen customers wince and complain to no avail (even after indicating these pains to the barber) and children swell with tears. So parents, standby and keep a watchful eye focused. You can always ask for a different barber. It's good to choose a barber in advance and let them know you are up next. Playing by chance, which is how their management runs it, can irritate. As in other hair shops that don't take names/ appointments, if you don't assert your position your seat can be grabbed by another. Though most people (customers) are good enough to acknowledge who came first, you can't blindly trust. Everyone has a place to be and often times, especially weekends, your competitors can be cut throat. Once you're in the seat, now the real trial is at hand. What antics the barber has and whether you'll get a great, stylish cut or need to cancel your evening plans. The bad customer service antics can be too much. Line hoppers. Barbers catapulting their regulars over walk-ins. Those of us commuting by car are paying for the time we wait and management can seem inconsiderate to that aspect. It's a mill in here and the door is always in use. **It's been a few years since my last review and nothing has changed. Reviews across the web are indicative of the same.
