Marilyn is wonderful! I have taken my two boys to so many different salons/barbers and she takes the cake! Not only is she very professional and friendly but her skill set is top notch. My two boys walked out saying, “Best haircut we’ve ever had” and they’re not wrong. We will definitely will be back! Thank you, Marilyn!
