Located just inside an entrance between JC Penny and Nordstrom is the new location. Open, airy, and sleekly modern, A Cut Above never fails to render excellent hair services at competitive prices.

They take all major credit cards and the reminder function provided by the site is a welcome addition for busy professionals or families struggling with constant distraction. Highly recommended.

I also prefer a barber who can scissor cut along with the clippers. Legends has "someone" for everyone. Both Men and women barbers. All of the barbers are highly skilled with various textures & curl pattern. This barbershop represents Howard county and it's amazing diversity. I've never seen anything like it. My barber Dani knew exactly what I wanted. My little guy felt extremely comfortable and loves his haircut. I highly recommend this barbershop for Everyone!! Moms especially who have children with finer textures or biracial children will benefit from Legends. Five stars across the board!!

That's what we pay in our hometown so we were well satisfied. Yesterday, my husband sat in Julius's chair and for the exact same service, he charged us $50!!! I thought this was outrageous but we were on a time crunch and I didn't have time to go back & forth. But later after speaking to a few men after seeing my husband, they informed me that we were definitely taken advantage of...probably because I am a woman caregiver for my disabled, post-stroke husband. I am so disappointed that we were treated this way so that's why I felt the need to warn others of how you may be treated here as well. As we frequent Columbia in our travels, we definitely will not be patronizing this business again unless something is done to rectify our situation.

This is my go-to barbershop in Columbia…read more I went to Great Clips for years, best value for your money out there imo, but in my mid 30s I decided it was time for a level up. Unlike Great Clips, here they offer shampoo, face towel, back massager, hot lather and straight razor for the back, and in general it's a more premium experience for not much more money. It's important to pick the right stylist though and not just random. So I ask for Tricia when I book online. And my hair always comes out looking good!

When I didn't leave the amount they expected, I was told, "Don't come here again. Leave." That was incredibly rude and unprofessional. A tip is optional and should be based on the customer's choice and satisfaction. No customer should be made to feel uncomfortable or insulted because of the amount they tip. I won't be returning, and I hope the owners reconsider how they treat their customers.

But let me tell you, the first guy took 45 min, second guy was 75 min in and still going by the time I left. The first barber (light-skinned latino) took 45 min, worked hard and did an excellent job on an older man. Honestly, while I waited and saw him work, I wanted my cut with him. Unfortunately he left to go inside their building and was replaced by this young black haired latino. He was working on this guy who walked in with a Phil Foden cut and 75 min in, largely unchanged but with a clean trim on the sides. (There was hardly any hair on the ground ) One reason his cut was taking so long was this barber was too busy live-streaming on his phone, occasionally looking at peoples' comments. It also didn't help he was cutting at a snail's pace. It's one thing to be attentive to detail (something the first barber was good at). It's another to just go hair by hair. Bad for business, wasting peoples' time, so much that I don't feel like stopping by the actual shop. Hope the business sees this and if they do, please let me know the name of that guy. If I ever do stop by, I'd like to avoid him at all cost.

I want to start this review off by saying Ive been going to Helen's for 3 years now and most of my…read morefamily and friends go there as well. There was a new Barber who cut my hair extremely aggressively which should have been my first sign to leave. He to cut my hair in any way that in no way resembled the numerous pictures I showed him, left a huge cut on my ear that bled for the entire appointment, and broke my earrings. None of which he apologized for. And the cherry on top was that he tried to overcharge me for a service I knew the price of since I have been coming here for years. I am not one to write scathing reviews about services that were mildly inconvenient, but this was genuinely unacceptable. The quality of this service was honestly not good at all, and my ear has been bleeding for almost 2 hours now. I am sad to say my relationship with Helen's is over now. I hope everyone can benefit from my experience. I hope the quality improves to what it once was, extremely disappointed. Please request your barber carefully if you do get your hair cut here and I hope the new barber gets fired.
