An experience that is a CUT above! When your cash flow is short, but you need your side burns a little shorter, this is the place to go. For $6, you can get a trim and some light styling from one of several student practitioners, who seem confident, knowledgeable, and comfortable with people in their chair. Good "chair side" manner.

Brooke, an instructor, was really awesome. Though she was busy Managing the front, assigning walk-ins to students, taking payment, and grabbing change for tip outs, she was willing to cut my hair--even sat with me and looked through photos for inspiration and showed me styling techniques. I'm waiting for when Brooke opens her own shop or salon, I will be there.

Just a note that there was another gentleman in a white coat who cashed me out who was notably friendly and helpful, going inside to double-check if we could be seen before they closed and reassured me that there is no problem handling a woman's haircut. It's a shame I didn't grab his name, but props to him for the friendly and encouraging wave in.

Caution: This establishment is not staffed by licensed barbers; instead, it relies on students from a school to perform haircuts. Regrettably, I made the decision to go there last week and had to literally bail out midway through the haircut due to its abysmal quality—it was the worst haircut I've ever experienced.

However, the student tasked with cutting my hair seemed to be on his very first day of training, lacking essential proficiency. What alarmed me the most was the complete lack of supervision or intervention by senior students or teachers, leaving the inexperienced student to struggle without guidance. Even though this is a school environment, there should still be a fundamental level of oversight and minimum standards upheld to ensure a reasonable quality of service....

I went here to do a fade hair cut. And my barber was jeremy moreno, before he started doing my haircut he asked to pay him good in tips. And while doing the cut he was constantly saying that he wanted good tips from me around 20$ which makes no sense. Coz haircut is only 6$. But i agreed to that and i made my mind to tip him good but then he started giving racist comments like i know you indians dont tip and all. That changed my mind also he didnt did the fade that i wanted. Still i gave him some tip. Then he got to know i tipped him lesser than his expectations. So he passed a comment to front desk saying ‘tell him dont here anymore’. Not interested anymore. Dont go here coz your respect is more valuable. Worst experience i ever had at a...
