Highly recommend a Fade from these guys. Today was my second, and all I can say Service gets better and better. Keep it up 👍 That Oudacity Olor fragrance is doing wonders 😂

Waleed knows how to cut my hair. I highly recommend Fade Arcade — you get a free drink while you wait and you're playing some COD on a PS5. Staff is friendly.

I've had a facial done by Luchen the barber, and I'm looking forward to the next one. The products are out of this world — left my face flawless and radiant. Ladies, book your facial, you won't regret it.
