Driving for my residence in Springs Valley, Desert Hot Springs, just to get my haircut in the Exchange Salons Barbers from a great haircutter Alec shes a very wonderful and great employee and beautiful lovely lady. Also do a little shopping in the Exchange but fortunately Im a retired Army Veteran with 25years of services as a 40TH INFANTRY DIVISION Combat Military Police but I still purchase other things as I walk around inside the Exchange. And I also do shopping at the Commissary for groceries.

Requested to get a patch made and paid toget it rushed. Got told it’d be about a week and half wait time to go pick it up, which is expected. When I picked up my patch it wasn’t done how I requested and they messed up the numbers on it. I asked to have it fixed or my money refunded and was told that they don’t refund and they won’t make a new one unless I pay them again to make a patch. Very dissatisfied with the employees and the services in general. Will not go back for any uniform or gear needs.

Extremely large selection of various items. If you can name it they probably have it. The employees are knowledgeable about where things are if you cant find what you are looking for. CDC protocols are in effect. First place Ive been where they make you sanitize you hands upon entering. Great place.

We visited our son here. They have everything a person would need to live there for a while and not have a reason to leave. I told our son, it was like a Time Share we used to own. As a civilian, I was happy to see our government is taking care of our kids and our troupes that work there.

These stores on base are very well maintained. Great service most of the time. Name brands at competitive prices and you never have to pay tax. Well stocked, clean, and very open environment for a store. So much space and you never feel claustrophobic in there.

Review β„–35

Not bad. Much better than it was back in 2009! Could really expand their product lists in order to compensate for the fact that this base is so remote. The MCX could be a one stop shop for everything that you cannot get at the Commissary if they actually stocked it appropriately.

Review β„–36

Selection is very poor, especially if home-related. Layout organization is poor. Theyll close early/not open without any announcement, or even any notification posted outside

Rating the barber shop not the store. After politely asking for a medium fade and specifying that I do not want a high fade please do not go high I get my haircut and boom a high fade and not even a good one and the clippers were dirty as hell too when it came to pay she looked at me liked she deserved a tip then crumbled the recipient up like a child when she saw I didn’t give one to her. A two year could have done a better job. I highly advise to never go here and don’t tip they get payed hourly I don’t think subpar work deserves a tip

Small compared to other MCXs throughout the Corps but has what most need dat to day. Overpriced food court. Starbucks is spot on. Engraving and stitching shops are capable of most requests. Always have hidden sales, just get the price with the wall mounted scanner.

Review β„–43

Its pretty good place to shop, they promise the best prices around but it is not true, nevertheless they have price match, if you find the same item somewhere else but cheaper -> 1) come to the counter, 2) ask for price match, 3) youll get the item for desirable price that they other place sells at. Good luck amigos.

Sister came down to visit, her husband was military, rest his soul, so we took a ride. Was so surprised on the prices in the commissary.. outrageous..these men and women serve in the military they should be able to feed their families without the hike on prices..God bless you all..

I knew what I wanted to purchase before coming in. I found it and some accessories right where I expected. There were sufficient cashiers so I checked out with no line. The whole experience took maybe 15 minutes.

This MCX has come a long way over the years. They usually have a pretty good selection. Its a lot better than it was the first time I came here 16 years ago. Food court is nice it has 4 restaurants and an area to sit and watch television, theres a GNC, barbershop, Jamba Juice and a Starbucks inside.

For how big this store is, it’s amazing how little they actually have. It’s all the basic selection and the deals aren’t that great, unless you are making a big purchase so you won’t pay sales tax.

The Service here is decent, although some times it terrible. The food on the other hand.... well is it even food? It rarely fills you up, and myself with several friends and peers have gotten stomach problems from it. Would I recommend it? Only if you are super gubgey and dying of hunger.

Review β„–98

I am rating the barber shop not the whole mcx. I go in there and i ask the lady β€œhey um let me get a medium fade and let me get a bit off the top” and the lady agrees and begins cutting. Through the hair cut she tries to comb the top and just makes a humb, turns me around and says you’re done and i told her β€œher i wanted some off the top” and she says β€œi spent 200 dollars on clippers and you got a bit of sand in your hair so im not about to ruin them on your hair” which I understood said okay well that’s not a problem, so i ask β€œokay well howbout if i go wash my hair real quick and come back” and she says β€œyea but im going to charge you again” and im puzzled. I really wanted to get some off the top that day before my hair was out of regs so i said β€œwhat ever ill be right back” and again i turn around and i ask β€œwill i have to wait in line all over again?” And she said β€œ well i have lots of customers to attend” (keep in mind its a sunday when all marines are trying to get haircuts) i just walk away. She does not care how your hair looks or the satisfaction of the customer, jus making money. She was the african american one with thin dreads. She didn’t even have any kind of certificate on her mirror about her going to barber school.
