He has a lot of regulars and will remember you when you become a repeat customer. The best thing about Eli is his attention to detail. He really takes the extra time to make sure everything about your haircut is perfect. I would recommend calling ahead. He does take walk ins but will fairly prioritize call ahead customers. He can also be very busy as he's very popular with the community, both you and old customers. Last, the price is very fair. $15 for a haircut, $20 is he works with your face. A truly awesome barber.

My search revealed that few if any barbers around the area do reservations. That's when I stumbled onto a Facebook post for the Pros 2 Barber Shop that said they had just started taking appointments. So I called and made one for the following Saturday. I walked in and was a little surprised to see that the owner, Eli, had this crazy head of hair and the customers waiting were all half my age. But sure enough, at my appointment time, he took me ahead of another customer and gave me the best, boring "old man" haircut I had been seeking. He even uses shave cream and a straight razor to make the finishing touches. I've been back every 3-4 weeks and he consistently gives me a professional, detailed haircut. I highly recommend Eli.

I recommend my friends and coworkers to go there. Anyone tired of paying these ridiculous prices for haircuts by "Gen Z man-bun barbers", give Macs a try, you won't be disappointed.

The last time we went, the haircut wasn't great...not horrible but uneven and choppy. The stylist seemed to be new, and we just noted it as a one off, no big deal. Today is my son's 13th birthday and he wanted to get his haircut, so we gave Rooster's another shot. I hesitate to make such a negative review, but this was a truly ugly cut. So uneven, bangs cut to a point in the middle between his eyebrows, his face was totally covered in hair-there was no brush off or anything. We were both very disappointed. $32 for something that I could have stayed home and hacked at his hair with kitchen scissors and done just as well if not better. I'm sad to say that we won't be back.

One of the owners sent me down and immediately began to add tips because he said my nails were too short for an acrylic dip. I decided on an oval shape for the tips. When that part was done, he told me he had customers waiting and passed me onto his wife to complete the polish. I chose a neutral cat eye. I noticed she wasn't applying the polish all the way down to my cuticle. I looked to my right and saw another customer with her fingers in a bowl of cuticle softener. Then I realized they hadn't touched my cuticles prior to these steps. No softening, no trimming, no pushing back. Just simply applying tips and polish. We were beyond that point, so I didn't say anything , and I had just hoped my nails would look pretty. I could tell when she started working in the magnet over the Kat eye that it wasn't what I had had before, but I'm not the expert, so I just watched. Their English wasn't good, so having a conversation wasn't really an option. The charge for what I had done was $70. I hadn't had a manicure in years, so I figured that was the going rate. I was wrong! I left and went home. I wasn't happy with my new nails at all. Husband and friends told me I should go back and have them at least take the polish off and redo it since there was such a gap between it and my cuticles. Looked like I had a week old manicure already. I was very specific when I said I needed the manicure to last 2 to 3 weeks. I called the next morning and told them I wasn't happy and asked if I could come back in, and I was happy they could see me at 12:30 that day. I chose a red polish this time since the cat eye was off. Patrons should know that getting your nails done at this salon doesn't mean they will soak your cuticles, trim them, push them back, and then prepare the nails for whatever you specify. All that is an extra cost, and you have to ask for it. I've never had a manicure where that wasn't part of the process. Patrons should also know that if you want a shape other than how the tips come, that is also an extra cost. What other salons give you for a nice manicure, including all the previous things, for a reasonable set price, you will pay extra at Nail Pro. The owners are nice, though, and they did let me come back for another polish, so I gave them two stars.

I asked for a pink to white ombré and told me I'd have to make an appt with Krystal to do something like that. When i told him i did make an appointment, he immediately started speaking to another woman (Lynn, i believe) who insisted that i didn't ask for Krystal to do my nails in the first place. Which is completely wrong because she is the ONLY person I like to do my nails. I've been seeing her for the past year, and when i called the first thing out of my mouth was, "I'd like to make an appointment with Krystal for a fill-in". The man doing my nails says, since you didn't ask for Krystal, I'll just do your nails and then she can do them next time, K?? So... I'm like okay... since he's saying she's too busy to get to me. Not even 5 minutes into my fill in, here comes in another woman who is immediately sat with Krystal saying she had an appointment with her. Terrible all the way around. My nails also look terrible. I will post pics of nails, that were only done 6 days ago. I've been a good customer at this place, always patient, always kind, flexible, and tip very well. I'm disappointed in the way i was treated, and the service i received. I won't be returning.

You can tell right away that they take pride in offering a wide range of services without sacrificing quality. We walked in without an appointment the day after Christmas and were greeted with genuine enthusiasm. Kim, the owner, is incredibly down to earth and you can feel how passionate she is about her craft the moment she starts talking to you. She creates an atmosphere that feels welcoming, comfortable, and professional all at once. Her prices are extremely fair for the level of service you get. I have been to plenty of other shops that charge outrageous prices for half the attention to detail. Here you get skill, care, and a great vibe without feeling like you are being overcharged. If you want a place that treats you like a valued guest and delivers top tier service, this is it. I will absolutely be coming back. This place deserves more attention!
