Usually have a decent time, this time i was cut by an older woman with silver hair and a small streak of colour, she was kinda dry and passive aggressive to me, at first I thought she was just grumpy because it was the end of the day for her. Nope. She was there at night when my mom wanted a hair cut same day and even had a postive time with my mom. I tipped her 7$ on my 23$ hair cut that was blunt and kinda bland, i think she thought i meant a trim? Im lucky I dont have anywhere special where my hair style matters anytime soon. Im heart broken because I could of done this to myself, maybe not as well but atleast id be saving money. Also please pick up the phone.
Besides that I usually have a decent day there.
Edit: im sorry, I forgot to mention some more positives, they do offer recuts which is cool and do offer some hair products that would go good with your hair type/style. Besides the random encounter im sure shes a lovely lady.

I was really disappointed with my recent experience at Great Clips. I requested a bang trim, but it didn’t turn out as I had hoped, leaving my hair looking uneven. It was frustrating because I felt I could have done a better job myself. I also took my son there for a “gentlemen’s cut," but it wasn't executed well either. Both stylists seemed friendly and kind, but the results didn’t meet expectations. Unfortunately, I ended up having to pay for a second haircut for my son, and now I’m stuck with uneven bangs until they grow out. I’d advise others to consider going to a salon or barber shop where they might get a more satisfying cut. Please think carefully before choosing Great Clips. I hope this helps others make an informed decision.
