I’ve been going every two weeks for the past few months to get my haircut from MJ, he’s is very personable and professional not to forget unbelievably talented. Every time I go he gives me a new unique freestyle design and an unbelievable shape up. I would 100% recommend you take a visit down there and ask for MJ. I also added is Instagram in the photos.

I called on the morning of December 23 for an appointment for my brother who is a resident of a nearby assisted living facility. I was told by the person who answered the phone “I have no appointments till the end of the day” I asked if anyone else had anything. For which he responded “I’m not going to walk around and ask everyone”. I asked if there was a book to schedule. He said no. Just walk in .So we walked in at one. I know it’s busy and a holiday so waiting was not a problem. The person said “we will get to you as soon as possible.” Again, I know it’s a holiday. We waited and waited on the broken down couch. I could tell no one had any intention of waiting on him. I have brought him there before and all the barbers were very kind, courteous and professional. This group ( they were not the same) was different. I think they missed your class on senior citizens. It’s a shame because I tip very well and always want to support your establishment. Some of these barbers have had a rough upbringing and you give them a chance of a lifetime. Merry Christmas. Now he gets to go celebrate with no haircut or shave. But you have enough clients you don’t need this person who is unsteady on his feet and walks with a cane. Thanks for listening. No need to respond.

Daniel (Gallitto) is a stand up guy and even better barber! He has demonstrated great skills, incredible attention to detail, and an obvious commitment to his craft. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a great barber.

My husband made an appointment with “Ryan” For 9am. He finally walked out at 9:50 when he still wasn’t sitting in the chair for his hair cut. Horrible service! Four people were walk ins and got in and out before he was able to even get called. Ridiculous! I can see a little bit of a wait, but when you have an appointment and are still waiting 50 minutes there’s something seriously wrong. DON’T MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH RYAN IF YOU GO HERE!!!

My response to the owner…. I understand that Ryan is new, but you claim the guy was a walk in at 8:20, how does it take an hour and 30 mins to cut a guys hair? My husband went elsewhere to have his hair cut. My suggestion to you Jay…. When hiring a new barber maybe you should not let him take appointments and only take walk ins if this is going to be a problem with time frames.

I took my son for his first appointment here with Ryan. He took his time to give my son the BEST haircut. He made sure my son was comfortable and I truly appreciate that. 100% recommend. We will be back!

I have been bringing my two sons to Mikey for over five years . I have always been on time and never cancelled any appointments, while he has cancelled on me last minute multiple times . So last minute that I have actually been sitting in his shop. He’s been late numerous times. Despite this I continued to book with him and tip him. Very well. My son was recently booked with him . He had to stay after school to make up a test and wouldn’t be able to make his appointment on time , the first time in five years. I immediately contacted Mikey asking for a different time OR day. He insisted on charging me a cancellation penalty and was completely inflexible and rude. When I complained I was told to find a new barber. Well I thank you for your advice! I have in fact found a wonderful new, talented and professional barber! I have zero tolerance for unprofessional behavior when it comes to paying for services rendered. I understand that MLA is a teaching academy and I strongly suggest that Mikey take or repeat course 101. Professional client relations and learn how to interact appropriately with loyal and paying customers .

Moving on .. Swan
