I go to Ayo every time now and I really like him. He is detailed with my haircut, asks me questions about how I like it along the way and he always does a great job. I like that it doesn’t feel like he is rushing me through, he takes the time to get it right. And he gives a great hot towel beard treatment that’s relaxing after a long day of work and I was really happy with the way my beard came out. Thanks Ayo! I’ll keep coming back
Good people. Great cut. Grew my hair out for a few years and my barber knew exactly how to cut it. I would definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a modern haircut.
Edit: raising to three stars because the manager Courtney reached out and tried to make things right. Unfortunately not much that can be done now that the boys hair is short but wait for it to grow back.
Two stars only because Ayo was great with my toddler girl doing her bangs - kind, patient and did a great job.
Our main reason for the visit though was a bad experience. Our barber was David and he was definitely having a bad day - rushing, talking in a very curt manner that didn’t even allow us to properly explain and explore what we were looking for. We did say more than once that the boy is trying to grow out his hair and we didn’t want to take much in...read full review
