- CSCheryl SSep 13, 20255.0As my job takes me to different locations, I've been to three different Great Clips in Calgary. They've all been great experiences. I've always found the staff friendly and efficient. My hair has consistently been cut the way I've asked for. And always absolutely reasonably priced.
- BKbipan kumarAug 30, 20251.0“Terrible experience. Stylist completely messed up my haircut — uneven, rushed, and nothing like what I asked for. Zero professionalism, no care, and no accountability. Worst haircut I’ve ever had. Never coming back.”
