Had the best time at this barber! My son has never once sat so good for a barber before and to me that goes to show the type of people the barbers are! There was also the sweetest little girl there and my son and I loved playing with her while he was waiting for a cut. I love the fact they gave walk ins as well because it made it so convenient with…

Took both my sons here when we were down for Christmas on a whim. Best haircuts they’ve ever had. They are 3 and 6 and he did a great job working with them and trying to keep them comfortable. Also the cheapest haircuts we’ve ever had. Usually I take them to one of those kids places and they come out looking like Lloyd from dumb and dumber for $3…

He gave me a really good fade. And I That it was awesome. I think he deserved A five star cause it was amazing In the texture was great.

In town from California for a wedding. I spend $50 for a decent (at best) haircut in California. Gary put more time and energy in to my hair than I’ve ever received in California for on $13. Military cuts can be tough and he nailed it! Highly recommend!

Looking for a haircut? Simply Cuts barber shop is the spot. Gary is my go-to for military and kids’ styles. Let’s support our local veteran-owned businesses. Definitely recommend!
