- AHAaron Van Hunt4 days ago5.0Valentina at Great Clips is top tier. She gave me an excellent fade taper clean, precise, and exactly what I asked for. Her attention to detail really shows, and she takes the time to make sure everything is dialed in before you leave the chair. On top of that, she’s outgoing, kind, and easy to talk to, which makes the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for a great barber who knows what they’re doing, Valentina is the one. Highly recommend.
