I’m giving them two stars because I had great service from a stylist the first time I went, but the last time it was not good. I went for a haircut and hi-light on a Saturday last year. It wasn’t busy and that time the stylist I had did a great job and was very knowledgeable and helpful in answering my questions. However, I went back a few months ago on a Wednesday for the same service. They’d written my appointment down wrong so a different stylist tried to fit me in between appointments which was a big mistake. I ended up with garishly bright highlights that didn’t match my end color (this hasn’t been an issue before and I’m not a fussy client). The color is still off/too bright even after I went back for a color correct and I spent several days feeling extremely self conscious. Given that the results vary so much depending on who you get I won’t be going back to risk another similar experience.

Cost Cutters always provides me with a great haircut experience. I am always left satisfied. The staff at Cost Cutters is always very friendly and is always able to take me in quickly when I just walk in without a appointment which is very handy for me because I never know when I may feel like getting a fresh haircut. The employees always keep it clean.

I have a very basic men’s haircut. 8 with clipper on top, 3 on the side. Came out with the most lopsided, half-assed, patchy haircut I’ve ever had. Unreal. Be prepared to roll the dice on whether you get something decent.

I've spent a lot of good money at local high end salons over the years, so I was surprised I chose Cost Cutters two years ago to get my hair cut. I had an event, and could not get into my regular shop quick enough, so I popped in for a quick trim. While I was there I was assisted by a very nice young lady, who trimmed my hair for a fair price. No frills really, but I did not expect that. What did surprise me is was witnessing how a hairdresser helped a woman who was very difficult to work with because of her emotional state. The customer had very long tangled hair, and it was a chore to get the customer to sit still and tolerate being touched. But the hairdresser took her time, explained to the customer how she was trying to help her and was beyond kind and empathetic. I was so impressed with her patience and the beautiful work she did with the customer! I knew that I would be back, and I wanted to meet this employee. A couple of months later I returned to Cost Cutters, and requested my hair be cut and colored by the same hairdresser. After waiting a brief time, she came to escort me to her chair, and introduced herself as Heather. As I sat in her chair, I was amazed by her skill, her warmth and her ability to make you feel like you were the most important customer to walk through the door. I'm a very straightforward person, and do not believe in giving false compliments, but Heather is a undiscovered diamond! She takes her time to make sure she hears what you want in a cut and color, and she matches it to the 'T' I would never think of going to another hairdresser since I stumbled across this magic maker! My only worry is that other people will discover how creative, kind and talented Heather is, and I will have to wait too long to schedule with her!

Prices are as high as everywhere else. As soon as i walked in, i saw two employees busy with clients. As i stood at the desk, neither cared to even acknowledge my presence. A woman came from the back to help me. Went in before work for a quick cut. I was in and out of there in ten minutes. Got home and my hair was uneven. The left side is longer than the right! Have gone here twice before and had Kyle cut my hair. Kyle no longer works here, and I will not be back...
