I am impressed with the level of seriousness that goes into this place. The students are very top notch and I can tell they want to take their craft seriously. Ever since my regular barber left, it’s hard to find any that can cut my hair the way I want it to be. I want to give a bit thanks to Ray C. Who has been cutting my hair there for a number of times. May he move on bigger things after the barber school!

I only recently started going to the barber college after needing an additional haircut after the one I received previously left me unsatisfied and was met with one of their student Ray who has now become one of my main barbers due to how he prompts conversation, speaks openly about his pursuits while also making sure to check in with his client. All and all Ray is someone I would highly recommend if you are wanting to made comfortable, have honest conversations and leave wanting to come back, not to forget the price is unbeatable in today's market of pricing.
