- GGGrayOct 29, 20251.0I’ve gone multiple times. Usually I leave with a mediocre haircut but nothing horrid. I figured I’d be fine this time because I wanted a very simple cut. I tried to show my picture to my stylist and she gave maybe one glance before deciding she understood. Well, she didn’t, and I know she didn’t because she immediately took out clippers when my reference photo was clearly scissored on the sides. I should have just gotten up then, in hindsight. So she continued to do my cut in almost utter silence, and when I expressed concerns she brushed them off every time. I sat there panicking in silence as she chopped off way more than I asked for (I said something about this!!! Even without glasses I could tell!!). She did not care about what I wanted at all. She wanted me in and out of the chair so she could get paid. That much she made obvious. She roughly brushed my neck and I got out of the chair wanting to throw up from how stressful those 5 MINUTES felt. I paid because I didn’t want to make a scene, and she was so nonchalant about it that I didn’t want to bother. I’m never coming back. And I’ll be telling everyone I know to avoid Greatclips locations from now on. It’s not hard to care. Really. LISTEN to your customers when they tell you want.
- JCJohn CherryOct 24, 20255.0Traveling thru town and stopped by. Great service, quick and very helpful staff. Will stop by again when in town again.
- DCDevalued CustomerOct 22, 20251.0I have never had a lady speak so few words, rush a haircut and act as though the notes on file are the end-all-be-all on your style. No “How was your day?” Or anything, which wouldn’t matter at all if not for the next part. After scraping my scalp and ears, she ran the clippers down my neck so many times it left marks and actually burns. This location used to be amazing, the ladies would ask questions to figure out how to improve each cut. Now it’s not even worth the convenience, I’d rather pay double at a quality shop.
- MTMarshall TylerSep 18, 20255.0Stopped by and got a quick haircut. The stylist was very nice and did a great job.
- CGCole GillardSep 5, 20253.0I get my haircut everytime at the great clips in gardendale by Jameka once every 2 ta 3 weeks for past 8 yrs at least. The haircut is always great. The short time it takes is great, but the only part that is not great is the price keeps going up alot and in all that time I have recieved only 1 COUPON. Just 1. The great clips by my house gives out coupons once a month, every month. So why do I drive 20‐30 min and pay more instead of driving 5 min and paying half the price. Answer I'm not anymore. The owner of gardendale great clips obviously does not care about keeping customers if they are to cheap to help loyal customers every now and then.
