    Lucas is the best barber I have ever had. He's extremely detail oriented and dedicated to his craft. He's also taken a consultative approach and helped me to try new products, lengths, and hairstyles with total patience. Couldn't recommend him more highly.

    Austin gave me a fantastic cut, achieving exactly what I wanted. He walked me through the options for lengths and techniques and how that would affect the behavior of my hair. Loved the professional and methodical approach. Will keep trusting him with my haircuts in the future.

    Jay cut my hair and am definitely coming back.

    He listened to me and executed what I wanted perfectly, in the past, I’ve noticed sometimes barbers kind of do their own thing even if you have an idea of what you want your haircut to look like.
