If you know me, you know that I'm extra, but like EXTRA sensitive and particular (better yet super Picky) about my kids hair so l' admit, I was a bit skeptical about coming here but I must say it was literally the best experience I have had to date at a barber EVER!! The students were super patient, they really try hard to give the best cut and the instructors were fun, funny, patient and supportive. The teacher in me was glowing with pride watching the students give each other high fives after a great job and then I was so proud to see how the instructors gave good and constructive criticism! | could sit there all day and watch!!! And the best part about it all was Joshua's smile from ear to ear with his perfect hair cut! He looks good so he feels good!
