My first experience here 4 years ago was just meh at best. Expensive haircut for nothing noticeable and feeling rushed through and even a bit condescended against just left a bad taste in my mouth. I came back recently due to convenience and a slight desperation to get a last minute haircut and was pleasantly surprised. The pretentiousness of some staff still makes me frown, but my stylist Liz was courteous and gave me a great haircut with my simple, nondescript description of what I wanted. I've gotten much more expensive haircuts so $40 was completely worth it to me.
