Scott is the best. I have hair that grows out like Jim Halpert’s from The Office, meaning it gets super fluffy/dense and grows out wide on the sides. I go in asking Scott to make the sides and edges tight (no fades), but keep the top and front a little longer and messy. He makes it so I can maintain a cool messy look up front, but in a way that’s clean and intentional. He figured out how to work with my kinda bulbous head shape and fluffy hair type. He treats each unique person’s cut as a puzzle to figure out, so you can leave with something that works for you. 5 stars!!

Reviews
Scott has been cutting my hair for over a year now and does a terrific job. I am 32 yo male with medium to long wavy / curly hair and like to keep it long, but have to clean it up every now and then for work, while still trying to maintain the curly / wavey / surfer vibe. Scott hits the nail on the head every single time and has me in and out in 30 minutes with scissors only at an affordable price. He is also great company as we share a number of common interests - sports, BJJ, surfing, etc. 10 / 10! Will not disappoint!
Scott is the man! Best haircut I’ve ever received - he knows what he’s doing, is easy to work with, and extremely talented. I’ve always had issues with super thick, wavy hair and Scott knows how to texture, scissor cut, and have it grow out really nicely. Would highly recommend to anyone else looking to get the best cut of their life!!
