- DDDon DouglassOct 30, 20253.0Haircut was fine, but price was not. To raise the price from $15-$16 to $20 was a big shock. I drove 45 minutes to use this particular salon.
- BMBrazzie MillsOct 23, 20255.0I wanted a short spunky cut and Dell did a fantastic job. She knew what I needed for my fine thin hair. Walk-In and check-in was quick and efficient
- ECEric ChildsOct 21, 20255.0Went to the beach to spend time with family and wanted to get a decent hair cut. Stopped in at Great Clips and Jerri was amazing!! She gave me an awesome haircut that I could show off at the beach. Thank you Jerri for a great haircut!!! 👍
- ABA BOct 12, 20255.0Nicole was so lovely and went above and beyond. Came in for a quick shampoo and bang trim but left with a completely updated look. This cut is better than some I’ve received in high end salons for a fraction of the price.
- KTKiet TranOct 4, 20251.0Honestly I said it’s just hair. But that wasn’t the only problem. So writing this to warn others. Super messy workplace. Putting tools back onto someone’s else hair. So I’m 90% sure she didn’t clean her utensils. Rushed to the point they didn’t ask any questions and just went off notes she didn’t update last time. Rushed to the point I had to go back in after only tipping $3 so she could get some missing longer pieces behind my ear. I’ll gladly pay my $35-$40 haircut somewhere else. What did I expect. It’s a great clips.
