Don't waste your time! Stopped by on three separate occasions and two of the times he was "closing…read moreearly" or "out for lunch" past the 12-1 lunch posted on the door. Called multiple times and the only time he answered he was "too booked up and to call back the next day". Proceeded to call a half a dozen more times over the next three days and never answered. Finally caught him when he was actually there and again and he said he was "all booked up" and to call back tomorrow on Friday. Told him I had been calling and no one was answering. He shrugged his shoulders and then said check back in next Tuesday. Awfully busy man for someone who's never there and parking lot is empty. Not customer service friendly or interested in new loyal customers.

My name is Betty Cooper and I wrote a review earlier about this shop. Look for my name, and read…read morewhat I posted. Well I got a response from Maurice the owner of Transformations and I so appreciated his words. See, my emotions are all over the place, after losing my son recently. I will confess it was probably a better way to response to his response, but you see I am 71 yrs old and there is a limit to what I can do in this tech world. I just wanted to go on the record to say I now feel that Maurice was genuine with his response. It takes a real person to state what he did, the way he did and I appreciate that. In closing, there is far too many negative issues already in this world, here's hoping my feelings were totally wrong here and if so, please forgive me! God Bless. Writing by Betty C. from Des Moines, Iowa not Huntsville, Alabama I don't know how to correct that here, but it is wrong.

I ran into my friend Ian the other day who has been a barber now for the past few years and he…read moreremembered how I told him I would come get my hair cut from him someday! Well I'm a man of my word, and even though I probably wasn't really due for a new hair doo I made my way to Universal Kutz to get my hair chopped! First off this place rules, there were 9 barbers in all, shaving, snipping, and cutting at the same time in the big rectangled room! Everything from Kid N Play flat tops, to shaved heads, to afro cuts, to whatever I was about to have! I gave Ian full reign on what ever he wanted to do to my head! He told me he would give me a great clean cut that will be perfect for the summer and will grow out better then the cuts I have been getting at home! I really loved the atmosphere in here, dudes chatting, watching ESPN, and a couple a little kids dancing round the room. It was a super fun environment! Now most of the time you need an appointment but Ian said he would fit me in when ever I came in, and he did! I got on the chair and was out of there in less then a half hour! He did a fantastic job and I even ran into a friend later that day and he said I looked, "Hip" that has not been a word some has chosen to describe me in a long time! I will definitely be back to Universal Kutz, hell I might come just to hang out!

He was patient with my son (4 years old) who is a challenge to get to sit still long enough for a haircut. Both of our cuts were very clean and well done, and we got what I asked for.
