Parking for me has never been an issue since there's dedicated retail parking. The back room is always clean and has a relaxing vibe with purple decor (my fav). Highly recommend this place and Melissa!

Based on the reviews, it sounded like they did a really good job, so we decided to give them a try. Threading is only $12 which is a great price. When we got there, we tapped the bell and a lady came out and asked what service we needed. We told her my daughter needed eyebrow threading before her senior pictures. She sat my daughter down and asked what look she wanted. We basically just said to clean them up and shape them to fit her face naturally. My daughter was nervous since she thought threading might hurt or that she could get nicked, but she said it actually wasn't very painful at all and there were no nicks! Definitely way faster and better than plucking. Her brows came out really nice and natural. We'll definitely be back for her next threading appointment. They also offer Henna, and the sample pictures they had displayed looked really beautiful and detailed.

She took one look at my curly hair, told me it was beautiful, looked at the reference photo and simply said, "No problem." That confidence was completely justified. She gave me the best haircut I've had in years. The fade is clean, the shape is exactly what I wanted, and she knew how to work with my curls instead of fighting them. On top of being incredibly talented, Vy is just cool. She has a really hip, modern sense of style and made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. I trusted her almost immediately. I honestly could not be happier. I will absolutely be coming back to Vy.

Updated to post the reply to Hoang:…read more My primary concern is the injury to my son's ear, with blood visibly present, which has not been honestly acknowledged. Additionally, the instruments were not sanitized between clients -- something I witnessed firsthand -- and hair repeatedly fell into my son's eyes, requiring multiple redirections throughout the haircut. As a returning customer, I expected better. I sincerely hope this business takes the opportunity to make honest amends. In a competitive market, standing out requires continuously and transparently accepting feedback and committing to improvement in order to deliver the best possible customer service. I have done my part, and I hope this business does theirs. ------- Went for a boys haircut. Hair from the cut covered over eyelashes, face and clothes. The haircut person did not bother to clean it up until I started cleaning it. At the end, I noticed that there was a scratch on the ear with some blood coming out. Their instruments are never sanitized. Infact the haircut instrument used was so old that it made a pretty loud sound. We were seen by Li today. Never going back again!

I hesitated to write this review after reading so many similar experiences, but I feel my feedback…read moreis valid. I've been a customer here for quite some time, and after reading reviews about inconsistent haircuts, canceled appointments, and rude service, I realized I wasn't the only one experiencing these issues. The first time I came here, I got my haircut from the main lady who runs the shop. After the haircut, she asked if everything looked okay. I politely pointed out a few uneven areas that I noticed, but she didn't seem happy that I mentioned them. That left me wondering what the point is of asking customers if everything looks okay if they're made to feel uncomfortable for giving honest feedback. After that experience, I decided to switch to another barber. I've been going to the other lady for quite some time, hoping I had found someone I could stick with long-term. Unfortunately, the results have been hit or miss. There were numerous occasions when I got home and had to fix my haircut myself. Even so, I never complained. I paid the full price every time because I believed in paying the value of the service and hoped the next visit would be better. I also found myself asking: Is paying $30 for a haircut, plus a $10 tip, considered fair these days? I looked into it because I wanted to make sure my expectations were reasonable. From what I found, those prices are within the normal range for a quality haircut, which makes it even more disappointing when the results don't match the price. I remember when getting a clean, straight fade wasn't something that felt difficult to find. It makes me wonder why this shop has such a high rating. Are those mostly longtime regulars? Do they receive a different level of service? I honestly don't know. I really wanted this place to be my go-to barbershop, which is why I gave it so many chances. Looking through the reviews and realizing I wasn't the only person having these experiences finally convinced me it was time to say something. Unfortunately, the inconsistent haircuts continued. At this point, I guess they can afford to lose another customer. It's disappointing because I genuinely wanted to become a long-term customer, but after multiple chances, it's time to move on.

Two years as a customer and today was the breaking point…read more Starscut is a solid barbershop and I've genuinely enjoyed my experience here for the most part -- good cuts and I kept coming back for a reason. But being managed by someone who can't respect her own customers' time is a real problem. Vivian, who runs the place, has delayed my appointments a handful of times without any heads-up. I let it go each time out of loyalty. Today she took it a step further and completely missed my appointment -- no call, no text, no explanation. I waited 15 minutes and left. When the manager herself is the one ghosting customers, there's no one to escalate to and no accountability. That's a structural problem. Two years of business and this is how it ends. The shop has potential, but until there's basic reliability and professionalism at the top, I can't recommend it.
