Nancy is my go to stylist!! She always gets it right, and worth the wait when she has other clients who also requested her

My stylist "Bree" is the "best" in the business! I so appreciate she knows "how to" cut my very fine, thin hair the same way every time. Her execution and skill set is amazing! The facility is always busy, and clean, wait times are short, too! Would highly recommend Great Clips in Avondale!

The first time I brought my son here they did a good job. Not great but good. The second time I brought both my sons and they did their hair so terrible and tried to rush through it. They left longer hairs the sides were uneven and different from each other. The lady cutting my younger son hair was trying to be done without even fading the hair out like I wasn’t gonna point it out. This is the lady in the 3rd chair to the left. The Second Lady who did my other son is the first to the left. Some of these people have barely any experience it seems like if they’d still be in school. I had to tell them multiple times the kind of cuts I wanted for them and they didn’t even do what I asked so I got frustrated and just said it was okay. They need to make sure they’re hiring good staff. Hair cuts are not cheap.
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.
