- JVJennifer VogtmanOct 17, 20255.0Hung cut my hair and not only did an excellent job but was super friendly and professional. Great, A+ experience.
- STSean TaylorOct 11, 20255.0I can't remember the name of the wonderful man who cuts my hair at the Pleasant Hill location. He always makes me feel relaxed and he does a consistent great job.
- KKKevinSep 15, 20255.0I get a great, consistent haircut every time. And friendly staff as well I recommend this place
- PSPaul ShentonAug 20, 20251.0Worst haircut I’ve ever had. A girl named Angel didn’t listen to anything I said on how I wanted it cut. I picked her out when I arrived only because she looked like she was doing a good job on the guy she was working on. But he was getting a very short cut that’s much easier to do. I know because I was a hair stylist when I was younger. I was trying to grow my hair out and asked for just a trim and she cut off way too much and even the sides were uneven and I had to ask her to even out the back which you could see was uneven too. I think she just doesn’t understand how to really layer or blend because she was just taking big sections and cutting not really caring at all. Maybe the other hair dressers were better, but I know you get what you pay. I will go back to Great Clips, but not this location.
