I was looking for a new barber shop after I was given a hair cut I did not ask for by another barber. My sister told me to go to Design 1 and ever since then, I’ve been very proud of my hair.
My barber, Madison has been awesome in helping me find the hair style that fits me best.
Folks there do it right, I will be suggesting them to all my family and friends.

I work at a dental implant surgery center, so my neck and back are always pretty soar from looking down so much. I found Dana back when she was at the Cascade location. She now works at the Gains location and I’m so happy she’s back. She goes above and beyond at what she does. I highly recommend to book with Dana!! :)
