Reviewers consistently praise the salon for reasonable pricing, friendly communication, and skilled haircuts, with many noting the owner’s willingness to accommodate last-minute or same-day appointments. Customers often highlight the stylist’s ability to understand specific requests and provide helpful styling advice. However, a few low-star reviews criticize rushed service that resulted in unsatisfactory cuts, and one common operational complaint is that the business accepts only cash payments.

I haven’t gone to get a haircut since pre-covid, so this was my first time back at any salon and I had the best time. I was in and out in about 35 minutes. The ambience is very welcoming, Khaled’s art is all over the walls, and there are tons of pictures with his clients that show just how much he loves what he does.
I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a hair cut!
