Love going to this salon. Michael always does a great job with my hair color (or highlighting), cut and style. Costs are reasonable and conversation easy.

Extremely courteous, professional and precise barber that's been cutting hair for many years. I am picky with my haircut and I was very happy with Michael. He listened and performed the fade / taper cut that I was hoping for. I highly recommend him if you are trying to find a great barber that is fairly priced,
