Paxton did an excellent job and I am really happy with how my haircut turned out.
liz got me in and out with the cut I requested without a reference image and still managed to give me exactly what I wanted. awesome !
Stopped by for a haircut after work with Mike; EXCELLENT experience. He communicated very clearly about what we could do, his recommendations, my preferences, and how he was going about everything. Super chill conversation, great service, reasonable pricing. Will absolutely be going back!
I can’t recommend Kendra enough, she was fantastic. I love my haircut so much and the experience she gave me was so welcoming and warm, if I’m back in Charlottesville I’ll definitely be coming to her exclusively. She gave me exactly what I wanted. Thank you!
Kendra was so sweet, thoughtful, and talented! I was a little nervous to go from waist-length hair to a bob, but it was easy to trust that I was in good hands with Kendra. She did such an amazing job and really embraced my natural waves/curls. I left feeling so confident and liberated with my new look :))
I usually don’t leave reviews, but this place genuinely surprised me in a good way. I went in for a simple haircut after work and expected the usual rushed salon experience where nobody really listens. Instead, the stylist took her time understanding how I normally style my hair and what bothers me most about it…

So fire, great staff, please go here
walkable from UVA and the corner. in two visits, Shay has given a great haircut twice, and Mike has been very hospitable. definitely recommend! EDIT: several years ago, I scheduled a haircut with Mike, which I paid a bit more for. I was handed off to a stylist, who was perfectly pleasant. apparently she was very new to hairstyling, which i found out right before we were done, and the cut was subpar. adding to that, I was still charged the fee for the appointment I had actually reserved.
We are happy to be a part of your experience. Thanks Will
Liz is excellent at her job! Very skilled, efficient, and fun to talk to!
Amazing haircut! Go to place to get one, best stylists I’ve found! :)
Paxton did an excellent job and I am really happy with how my haircut turned out.
The owner Mike and his team are terrific. I recently got a men’s haircut from Mike and I am exceptionally happy with it. I will be going back to them again for sure.
