This place...Highly recommended!! Good atmosphere & people. Cam's been my barber for 2 years, I wouldn't trade him for anyone.

On 7/12/2025 Tammy Dunkerley had this to say:
My 16yo son, dx with Autism, Nonverbal asked for a haircut at the Barbershop. This was a huge ordeal, as haircuts were always administered by his maternal grandparents. I called The Experience Thursday, and talked to Wayne, who scheduled my son Saturday at 4p. See results! No fussing, screaming, aversion to all the sounds in a Barbershop or the people, as it was busy! I could not be happier! Wayne is great, highly recommend this man or any of the Barbers/Stylists as the atmosphere was relaxing, entertaining and very accomodating! 3rd successful Barbershop experience with Wayne. My 16yo requests to see Wayne, so we are now going to have a set schedule of a cut every 6 weeks! I'm so excited my young teen is liking his trips to his Barber. Thank You Wayne! 4th Experience today, and nothing bad to say. Wayne, Our Barber took my son and Dad, who is a Senior Citizen in, and they look amazing! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Wayne and The Experience!
