I went into Great Clips a couple days ago as I was tired of my long and dull hair. When I checked in, the staff was friendly and the waiting area was clean. I only had to wait about 5 minutes even though the wait time on the app was 15 minutes. My stylist was Kayla and when I told her what I wanted done, she was able to listen, made sure this is what I wanted done because it was a major haircut, and got my cut done within 30 minutes. She was quick, sufficient, and friendly throughout the entire encounter. I came back today to take my two daughters to get a haircut (after they saw my new cut and wanted to get theirs done too). Kayla cut my youngest and Amber cut my oldest. My oldest was also a major cut as she had very long hair. Kayla and Amber were both attentive to both my kids and making sure they were comfortable and making sure they wanted the cuts they were about to get. What was amazing about Great Clips is that they donated your hair and discount it from your haircut. So both my oldest and my hair cuts were free!

Maggie is the most amazing hairstylist I could ask for. I’ve been going to her regularly, about every two weeks like clockwork for maybe 7 months now. I call to make sure she’s in. She knows exactly how to cut my curly hair and is extremely detail oriented. She is the only person I have cut my hair and I’ve been beyond happy every time. She’s always a highlight of my day - I don’t know what’d I’d do without her.
Mens, womens, kids and senior haircuts as well as bang, neck and beard trims. Other haircare services include shampoo, blow dry, or hair styling such as an updo. Select salons offer perm services.
