I go to Great Clips regularly. My baby son is 1.5yrs and needed a haircut. No problem! Gentle, friendly, careful, good attention to detail!

Last two haircuts, 6 months apart. Totally horrible. Rush through cut my hair crooked. Left me looking like Woody woodpecker twice. I cannot spend this kind of money and give a heavy tip only to leave there crying. I should have never left. The talent is coming from off the shelf It has to be. I don't understand. I will never get my haircut there again ever.

Nicole did an amazing job, and was super friendly! She is patient and listens to what you’re asking for. She took her time and didn’t just quickly chop away despite how busy they were. I will definitely be back and asking for her next time!

Great Clips is a great place to get your haircut. I have been going to the Great Clips in Chelsea, Alabama for approximately six or seven years now and I have never complained about my haircut or the service. You don't have to wait for a favorite hair stylist to become available because they are all excellent. Also because I'm old and gray and can only do it... No, no I can't tell that joke. Since I am over 65 I get a $2 discount. If you're in the Chelsea area that is the place to stop.
Mens, womens, kids and senior haircuts as well as bang, neck and beard trims. Other haircare services include shampoo, blow dry, or hair styling such as an updo. Select salons offer perm services.
