I get a simple hair cut these days. It's hard to find someone that wants to be patient with something "so simple" and these ladies do a great job at making you feel welcome, and invite you in. The problem is that they're really just a couple (or a few) depending on the day, so sometimes they get "busy" or they don't time things right. That's not entirely on them, I get that, but it's hard to rely on me being on time, and not waiting because a customer before me is taking extra time. Being asked to wait, so that I can get my 15± minute haircut...seems...excessive. Either way, great people, amazing personalities, just...I don't think I'll be coming back as it's happened more times than I can let go, and there are alternatives in town that don't make me schedule a week in advance, to get a 15 minute cut (and include a shave!). Most days, now, I just walk in, see if someone (anyone) is available, and leave happy. Works for me!

Just went for the first time today and it was honestly an amazing experience. My appointment was for 4:30 and the moment I got there I was in her chair, I had Paula, she asked questions and gave me pretty much exactly what I asked for. She was easy to talk to and gentle with my hair. I left happier than ever with my cute bangs and trim for 20 bucks. I'll definitely be recommending this place and going back when needed.

Paula leaves my hair looking and feeling great. My hair is the talk of my job, as many customers compliment her work. She’s very sweet and a great person inside and out. I will always go to her.

My son and I have been coming to Cassi since he was about 1.5 years (7 now) and we absolutely love her. She's always very thorough and has done everything on me from bangs to shaving the sides of my head to finally going pixie. She also does face waxing :') I hate having to go anywhere else!
