Always 100% satifisfied with my hair cut with Flora. Not only is she an amazing hair stylist but she's also the nicest, sweetest person you could ever meet.

The stylist didn’t know how to handle my thick wavy hair. The stylist was overwhelmed with my hair type and tried to finish quick. My hair was barely cut. My bangs were uneven. When I asked to go shorter he got mad and said that with my kind of hair it was going to take too long and he’d have to charge me double. I saw another review of someone who had a similar experience with another stylist, so I felt like I felt the need to write a review aswell.
I would give a 1 star but the owner was kind and flexible with giving me a refund. I just wanted to share my experience.

I got a haircut from a lady named Parisha. I know the staff change for Great Clips all the time so it is always a hit or miss but usually the staff are good. Parisha cut my hair too short and seemed rush. She does not know how to work with thick or curly hair and she should've just handed me off to the other staff member which would have listened and had more patience to give me a better haircut. I specifically told her I do not want a bob cut and she gave me a bob cut. She told me to come back to the salon and stated that she would cut my bangs for low cost as long as I paid for blow drying services since she was not sure she could cut my hair evenly being that it was so curly. After she cut the first strand of hair I should have stopped her since I noticied it was too short but did not. Parisha, thanks for a Lord Farquad haircut that I sported back when I was dating my ex boyfriend. And then she expected tips! That's too funny!
