- RERobert EdwardsJan 10, 20265.0I received a great haircut and had a generous coupon offered by Great Clips.
- SSSawyerJan 6, 20262.0I told them a little bit above the eyebrow. They took off THREE inches. Only reason for two stars is because the staff were nice.
- THTamara HilliardJan 1, 20265.0This place never disappoints! I love being able to check in rather than show up and wait! And I've been really happy with my hair. I go way too long between cuts, but they make it do what I want.
- ASAndra ShoreNov 30, 20251.0This is the worst service I have ever received. I go in for a simple pixie cut to absolutely no hair on the back of my head and the lady just kept cutting I even asked her did she even know what a pixie cut was and she giggled and said yeah I finally had to tell her just to stop cutting my hair I was done . I wanted to speak to a manager and of course there isn't one to talk to never will I ever go back and the lady was talking how she wanted to open her own salon . Absolutely not until sheearns how to cut hair the right freaking way.
- SDShanna “Shay-Shay” DavisNov 27, 20255.0This is a great place to get your haircut. It's where I always go.
