Zoe was very friendly and courteous and gave me a very clean and professional beard trim. She made sure to ask lots of questions along the way to make sure I was happy with what she was doing. I would highly recommend Status to anyone looking for a high quality barber experience.

Zoe has been cutting my hair for years and I follow her wherever she goes (she cant get rid of me). So glad shes made here home at Status, in such a positive and upbeat atmosphere with other incredibly talented barbers. Troy has brought together a welcoming, inclusive and very high quality barbershop.
