As soon as I met the stylist (Monah), I was immediately put at ease. Monah is an easy conversationalist and exceptionally talented. She took the time to understand what I was looking for (even if I couldn't fully articulate it). The result is a fantastic cut that I didn't know I always wanted :-) Thanks, Monah and team! I'll be back!

Also, if you want they even have a jar of pink lollipops.

I usually get a simple undercut with faded back and sides, but the cut I received here didn't resemble a fade at all. The difference between the longer and shorter sections was very noticeable, and there was no smooth transition. I left feeling upset and disappointed, and ended up immediately going to a different barber to fix it which of course involved paying for another cut. Thankfully, they were able to help, but there's still a spot that couldn't be fixed, so I'll need to let my hair grow out for a proper fix. It's not a huge deal since hair only grows, but it wasn't the cut I was hoping for. I was pretty upset. If you're looking for a general barber fade, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.
