J.R. is a Master.

J. R. NIckolai is an absolute Master at cutting hair, in the old-fashioned dictionary meaning of the word -- "Artist of superb skill and experience." I think he's world-class.
He has a couple of warm and bright youngsters working with him with above average skills, and the three of them work together seamlessly as a team.
There was one area where my communication skills apparently failed, and he had the problem corrected by the time I walked out the door.
Price was rather high, but I have to say, given his extraordinary eye and skill, not unreasonable. For once I felt it was worth it! Highly recommended.
- Pros: Haircut, color, and service were superb.
- Cons: The young always need practice listening, but on the other hand, no doubt I wasn't exactly crystal clear, myself.

JR is a fabulous hair stylist. My hair is troublesome but JR has always made it look stylish.
Best of all, he knows how to design the cut to fit the shape of my face and my lifestyle.
I have never been disappointed. He makes my hair look great!
My only regret is that I should visit JR more often.
Love his facial products as well.
I have been a customer for 26 years and I keep coming back.
Thank you JR.

- Pros: easy access, lots of parking
- Cons: none I can think of
