I’ve had my haircut here twice by the students. Both times, they have done an incredible job! They take their time, really listen to what you want and ensure you’re comfortable during the experience. Would 100% recommend if you’re after a barber for a haircut.

I have been going here for years and am completely satisfied with what I have had done. I have always been impressed by how the students, when they encounter some new styling technique, always make sure to have the teacher check and advise. It has always been a pleasant experience for me. Kudos to the students and their patient teachers.
