Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out kids' haircuts as this shop's strength, describing toddlers as young as two and first-time cuts for sons that held up well even when the child fidgeted through the chair. A few also mention a stylist praised specifically for locs, calling her the one to request. The environment is called friendly and modern, with a sports-themed decor several regulars enjoy, and multiple reviewers describe the shop as clean. Even critical reviewers concede the barbers are talented. The recurring complaint is professionalism around scheduling: several describe the owner running long waits and taking frequent breaks, with one saying repeated attempts to get served failed. Two reviewers report R-rated movies with profanity playing while children were in the shop, and one reviewer describes a haircut left uneven right before a graduation. One reviewer also describes conversations in the shop as disrespectful in front of women and children. Despite this, satisfied customers describe returning for years and recommending it for their own kids.

“Update: Went back today for a cut... another great experience! Professional, clean and fast! My sons cut is great! Took my son in here for his first professional haircut... a last minute hair cut at that! They accepted us 20mins before close and were very welcoming! The barber did just what i asked for even when I realized I didn't state what I wanted that clearly half way through the cut! My son fidgeted a lot during his time in the chair and his cut still looks amazing! Would recommend!”

“Talented guys, but very, very, very unprofessional. The conversations that go in on this place are disrespectful to women and children. They don't care as if you aren't standing right there. My son's innocence was tampered with and it's not …”
