I give them 5 stars because I have gone there and been rescued. I go in a hot mess and come out a dignified lady again! They keep my kids looking fresh. I love that every time I have been; I am greeted politely and the atmosphere is relaxing and fun. Great staff!!!

My short pixie cut was done here and I love it! Prices are excellent and it's almost just like going to a licensed beautician because, the instructors are hands on teaching the students. If you haven't been please go and give them the experience.
