Real reviews from real clients who've trusted us with their look for years.
★★★★★
Got my first haircut here back in June of 1996 — pretty sure it was the day I graduated high school. Almost 30 years later, I'm a weekly customer and wouldn't have it any other way.

As a lady that prefers short barber cuts, it's been a challenge to find a shop I felt comfortable in. But Q delivered! Good shop without all the noise.

I was very pleased with the short haircut that Stanley gave me. I had never had my hair cut by a barber, but I am glad my sister referred me. Definitely going back!
