Why would you shave half of my beard and leave it? The lady said something very quiet under a mask while the clippers were buzzing. Every other haircut I've gotten, they ask if I want to blend my sideburns into the beard.
I made the mistake of saying yes, thinking it was the same routine with the sideburns. This is what I received and was told was complete. Just shaved down from the sideburns.
This is how I left Great Clips.
Guess it's time to shave my beard...

If I could give this place a negative star I would. I guess this applies for the person who gave me the cut but the one star has to suffice. Every time I see myself in the mirror I just get mad.
I asked the barber to cut it like the picture attached to this review and it just somehow ended up being so darn short. They accused me that I showed them a picture that depicts how short they cut it as. Definitely no. Not worth $32. Go elsewhere.
Cut so short, not even a straight line in the back, the fade is none existent.
Stay away from this place.
