HORRIBLE! Agreed to cut 1 inch and she cut 5 inches from the bottom. The. Cut 10 inches from the top in random places. Created uneven, split ends and took away all my hair growth. A 2 year old could have done better! 😡

always go to Great Clips and today tried a new hairdresser name Jordan and she was absolutely spot on about what I needed. I usually cut own hair which can be a pain for a professioal but she looked at what I had done which Im not so bad at, but knew exactly what I had been going for and she executed it perectly. All their cuters at t his location are excelent but how lucky I was to have her today and she is a great discovery. Excellent at perceiving what you want and better yet at delivering it perfetectly. Try Jordan and you will be glad you found her.
