What Clients Are Saying About Our Cuts

"My son booked with Matty who was absolutely amazing! He had a bad haircut the day before, he totally fixed the cut and my son walked out beyond happy. He also took the time to explain what products to use and how best to style his hair. Highly recommend!"

"The shop is beautiful. Absolutely stunning, and a great experience. I also had the best haircut of my life with Kyle. It was the first time the cut looked exactly like what I had pictured in my head. Fantastic experience."

"I’ve been getting my hair cut here for 5+ years now and have never had a bad experience regardless of who cut my hair. I typically see Jake or Miki, and wouldn’t go anywhere else on the Seacoast. I got cut here before my wedding that’s how highly I think of their work."
