Yelp.com Review - by Star J.

4.0 of 5 stars. Cid at Barberella is great. Very friendly environment. Parking can be tough at times. Neighbor hood has more to offer then just a haircut. You rock!

5.0 of 5 stars. Cid is amazing. She took my fuzzy Latina hair and turned it into curly, shiny locks that look great without using a blow dryer. She understands course, frizzy hair and cuts it to suit your face…
