- CLCathleen Lucid-MoynihanAug 27, 20255.0Lisa did a great job. She gave me the exact haircut I wanted - lots of layers. She's an asset to the company...great personality, professional and super nice.
- RWRobert WilsonAug 26, 20253.0It's your average Great Clips location, where the barber seems to try to churn you out as quickly as possible. The stylists are hit or miss, but the location is good and convenient. A few times I had to touch up my hair at home after they missed a spot or too. With all of that said, I don't think there is a cheaper place for a haircut in Santa Cruz, and they're always offering deals. As far as Great Clips goes, this location is better than the one in Westside.
