- SMSheri McCormick6 days ago5.0Everyone there is great, super qualified and very friendly!
- PDPamela DentJan 30, 20265.0I have been to a few pretty high priced salons and have had some terrible haircuts. My husband talked me in to just trying Great Clips. So glad I did, I got the best haircut at a fraction of the price. I will most definitely go back.
- TSTamara SiftonJan 30, 20265.0Very fast, friendly service wonderful haircut very clean salon everybody friendly and relaxed. I was treated like gold.
- RPRachel PetersonJan 23, 20261.0Went in for a trim and the hairdresser that usually does my hair wasn’t in so I tried a different one and I didn’t notice until i put my collared shirt on how uneven the cut was. Regretting the good tip I gave her because I could have gotten a good haircut for that price somewhere else. It’s a gamble that I won’t do anymore. Go elsewhere and get it done right the first time.
- OGOfelia GersjesJan 22, 20265.0The staff are always so friendly here. It is clean, and I find thier booking system so easy to use to pop in for my kids' hair cut. The ladies working tonight (Jan 22nd) were both exceptional. My son got a great haircut, exactly what I wanted and the blend was great. The other hairdresser was so kind to my kids and the other kids in the salon while we waited. I keep coming back!
