Had Kevin doing my haircut for the first time, and I did read several bad reviews related to him in the past, and now I understand why those people complained about him. If he's not interested to work there, why bother going to work at all. Overall poor quality, rushing, and rude.

Review of Great Clips (Visit: Monday, around 1 PM)
I came in to donate my hair and expected a simple, supportive experience. Unfortunately, the service I received was disappointing from start to finish.
As soon as I mentioned donating my hair, the stylist’s attitude shifted and she acted like she didn’t want to be there. When I asked for layers, she said she could only do “long layers” — but didn’t even follow through on that. I explained that I have naturally wavy hair, and she dismissed me, saying it was only wavy “because of a braid.” When I asked her opinion on styles, she flatly told me, “Don’t ask me, I have short curly hair.”
At one point, my husband spoke with her coworker, and instead of focusing on my haircut, she made a pointed comment like, “I don’t ignore people,” as if to justify her attitude. The way she brushed and pulled my hair was rough, and when she finished, both the front and back were noticeably uneven. Still, when she asked if I liked it, I just wanted to leave — so I said yes, paid, and even tipped, though the service did not deserve it.
Donating hair should be treated with care, patience, and professionalism, and unfortunately, that was not the case here.

Zero star review. This place did the complete opposite of what my wife asked them to do. The stylist Joann, wouldn't do what my wife wanted until another stylist came over and told her to just do what my wife asked. My wife has been growing her hair out for a long time so she didn't want ANY length cut off, she just wanted some layers starting at her shoulders. Yet they cut off 4 inches and started the layers at her chest level. Even with her coaching the stylist the whole time on how to do her job, they still managed to not listen. This isn't target where you can just return the item you don't like, she's now stuck with hair she absolutely hates until it grows back. I've never experienced such incompetence for a simple hair cut.

Everyone here are pleasant and respectful. Alyssa always listens carefully to my style descriptions. Have a lot of hair but she always comes up with a cut that really works. Get compliments too.

Dad and I love Lori's work! She has a lot of repeat customers and it must be because she takes the time to do quality work every single time! When she's not at her normal salon, I call around the valley and find where she's working, and dad and I end up over there! She's really an asset and if you want an excellent hairdresser, ask for Lori!
