A wonderful experience in an environment that i feel safe and welcomed in. I worked with Quela and highly recommend them! I hadn't had a hair cute in years and was very nervous, they walked me through every step of the process and took things slow with me, making sure to communicate through each step. I cannot express how much I appreciated the patience and the results speak for themselves, I love my haircut! 100% will be back!

I have been looking for a new shop to cut my son's hair since our last shop told us he was too hyper for their environment. I saw some drama centered around the barber collective and decided with the comments and reviews I'd book my next appointment there. I came in expecting the drama to be true to some standard but it was NOT. This place was amazing! Que was attentive to my childrens needs and sensory issues. My son has adhd/autism/sensory processing disorder and haircuts are a marathon [ usually ] with him. I couldn't stop smiling! He was so comfortable and Que worked to make sure he could touch things before being used on him [ scissors and sheers ] and even put a towel over his shoes as he was worried about hair getting into them. They listened to his wants for his hair and did amazing with it! At no point was he ever scared or uncomfortable which just made my mama bear heart burst with happiness. I can't wait to show his occupational therapist the photo of him sitting still as we have been working for this day close to a year! My daughter wanted a more punky/gothic hair style with pink dye. Thankfully Que was able to fit us in. They listened to my daughter and offered options for bangs [ etc ] and let my kiddo choose what she wanted. Que was very knowledgeable and gave us advice on keeping the pink in my kiddos hair. The pricing was very reasonable and the product was nicely priced as well. I didn't expect to stay for as long as I did so we didn't bring a lot of snacks, but they offered us some from the snack cart [ thank you ] The environment was clean and no one judged me as I hype focused on organizing some fliers and sort. Super safe space vibes and I totally will be rebooking with Que for my first haircut in almost 8 years! I was also fully prepared to wonder about lost trying to find the location but they even texted me instructions to find their space and it was amazing [ especially those who have anxiety about knowing where to go like me! ]

When I was ready for a totally new look, Nae listened carefully & asked smart questions. Then Nae made my idea happen, & made it look great on me. I have been coming back for trims & touch-ups for almost a year. Whoever takes care of me is always professional & fun. This crew has earned my loyalty & all 5 stars. I think you're going to love them too.

We love having you here Peach! Nae is pretty much the best!

Such an awesome place to take care of your barbering needs. I needed someone to touch up my under shave between haircuts and they were the most affordable option with easy scheduling. You can book online and choose any or a specific barber. It’s a comfortable atmosphere in an open well lit building. I was able to park on the street and easily find the entry. My barber was awesome and able to help ensure they trimmed my under shave to my liking. So grateful to have found this place!

Such a great experience! Shanna gave an awesome haircut!! My partner came home and said “this may be one of the best haircuts you’ve ever gotten.” The vibes are great! It’s not too loud and it feels very welcoming! Will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends!

I can proudly say that not only do I go to this shop exclusively, my wife now goes to this shop! I've been a long time client of G's that has turned into a friendship over the years that I cherish. But today my wife came in and sat in Christy's chair, and the smile she put on her face after they were done is priceless! If I could give y'all more than 5 stars I would. Thank you both for having the utmost professionalism, while also providing an atmosphere that feels like home. I will continue to go to Georgette for as long as she will hold scissors and sheers in her hands.
Owner's response
Hey B!! Thanks so much for your kind words and your loyalty to the shop. They mean the most. So pumped your wife had a great experience with Christi and now you can book appointments together and we can all kick it while pampering you! Cheers my friend.
