I've been going to this shop for a number of years now and there is a family atmosphere here. Many of the stylists have been there for a long time and share their expertise with each other. What I really like is that they're honest about what will work for each head of hair. My stylist, Nicole is kind, but truthful if a certain cut that I show her will not look good on me for whatever reasons. I've come to trust her expertise on what will damage my hair because she is continually updating her training on color changes & trends. Scheduling appointments has always been easy and I can plan two appointments ahead if I like.\r

Men will find it a comfortable environment, there conversation, but not crazy gossip. I've seen cuts that range from current trends to classic looks. \r

The salon is roomy and never too cold or hot. Stations are in two lines in front of a wall length mirror, so you can check your cut from every angle. The parking lot is small, but I've always found a space. It's located next to a traffic signal which is important when trying to get back on to a busy street like Chapman.\r

There's a nail tech on days and a makeup line is sold there too.\r
The salon is big on Redken products, which were not my favorite a few years ago, but every product my stylist has used works well with my hair. She also varies the products used on each cut so I can see what I like or don't like about the latest things without having to buy a giant bottle.\r

This salon has a personal interest in giving back and each year they have a Cut for the Cure with a giant raffle. It's a fun event and proceeds go toward cancer research.
Pros: Educated Stylists, comfortable for men and women, easy access, good hours
