I've got my haircut a few times here, but I made an appointment with Katie for the first time. Although my appointment time passed almost 30 minutes, she didn't seem to care. She didn't even apologize until I canceled the appointment and walked out.

I came here after my salon, Hairport, of 18 years, closed. The staff is awesome. All the friendly faces are there from Hairport and it has a clean, professional layout. All of the Covid protocols are in place, with phone check-in from outside, a confirmation text the day before reminding you of the process, and very visible cleaning between clients. Dee is my stylist, and I've known her and her family for years.
She's on a short list of those I trust with cutting my hair and feeling completely comfortable. There's a standing appointment I have and if there's a change or a run-over in time, I will be given ample notice. This has yet to happen In essence, I've been going to two salons for the last twenty years, and both of them, with Hair Unique the addition, have been a huge part of my Thursdays or Fridays. The owner has been in the business for most of her life, and she takes pride in treating everyone who walks through that door as though she's known them forever. What an awesome place.

Very clean, very friendly staff, also reasonably priced for a men's haircut. I received many compliments the first time so I went back again. I will definitely be going back.
