Testimonials

On 6/13/2025 Nicholas Mason had this to say:
Navy member here. Greatest haircut I could find off base while stationed at Great Lakes for those looking to avoid on base cuts. Affordable, always great results, and kind barbers. Couldn’t recommend more!

On 11/20/2024 Brad S had this to say:
First time here tonight. Ann was great especially dealing with someone who wasn't sure what I wanted. Cleaned up and when I got home looked in the mirror and was much better then when looking at it in the shop. Hair is thinning and Ann did great with giving me a great cut. And lovely to talk and chat to. Found my new place
