- BMBrittain MitchellJan 2, 20265.0I got a deal for $9.99 for a haircut.. so I'll take that anytime because all it is is a number for all the way around my head, they don't have to do nothing special for me! The employees were really nice, although I'm the only the second guy in here and they've already taken the other guy and there's two other ones just sitting there so I don't know if they're on break but I'm actually on a time crunch and so I hate to see two people sitting there, but I don't know the situation so I don't know if they're on break or whatever, I don't know the situation but I do know that I'm on a time crunch.. I mean there may be some people that have a online check in that would go before me so... But everyone was really nice and kind and I got a $9.99 haircut so I can't really complain.
- APAshlynn PughNov 22, 20251.0Every time my boyfriend goes there the stylist make his noticeably uneven, they don’t pay attention and just do what they want not as they are told.
- MHMichael HoytSep 18, 20255.0Friendly, professional staff. Great price
- XXXoEmbraceSep 11, 20251.0I will NEVER step foot in GREAT CLIPS of Calera, Al again. I arrived at 6:34 and was refused service for 2 shampoo’s. I stated shampoo and go!!! Shampoos are only 10-15 minutes. I have usually go every 2 week there. The problem is you took to 3 additional clients after (men). I’ve seen the hair cuts take longer than my services several time. I don’t know the stylist but she ruined my experience for them. Considering that I brag and have referred 5-7 people in addition to my family of 5. Oh and I give the tip equal to my service on each head. NEVER again. If you were too tired to shampoo then maybe stay home. Every one’s schedule won’t allow them to arrive over 30 minutes for a 15 minute service. Passed PISSED is what I am
- CMCurtis MotesSep 9, 20255.0Great friendly people
