- PSprasanna subramaniamNov 12, 20255.0Nice place and they do a great job. Friendly and welcoming staff.
- ZGZahraa GhaithOct 26, 20255.0First time trying great clips, had a hair cut by Ghada, she’s very nice and professional, did an amazing job. Highly recommend this place for a quick and good service!!!
- SCs cOct 21, 20255.0I have been getting my hair cut at Great Clips for a long time, but once I moved to the Namao area, I began consistently going only to this location, where I met Ghada. She is not only experienced and talented, but she really takes the time, effort, and interest to listen and give the best haircut possible – regardless of what kind of haircut – right now to detailing that other hair stylists might overlook. She is also pleasant and welcoming. I’m always pleased and look forward to having her cut my hair every time. I think you would be too!
- ADAshley DerigerOct 3, 20251.0Today I brought my daughter in for her very first haircut, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. Her bangs were cut very unevenly — they appear to “wave” across her forehead rather than having a straight, even line. While I understand that children can move slightly during a haircut, this goes well beyond a small slip. The result doesn’t line up with her eyebrows at all and looks noticeably uneven. For a first haircut, this was especially disheartening.
- TCT CSep 4, 20254.0Last time was my first time I got hair cut at Great Clips so I was a bit nervous. Ghada came highly recommended. She is pleasant and nice. She listened to how I wanted it cut. She did a good job. I would asked for her text time.
