Absolutely amazing location. Don’t know if I’m spelling her name correctly, Saydia, was awesome. I have been happy with the stylists at Great Clips after moving here 5 years ago but Saydia gave me the haircut I’ve had for a decade from my favorite stylist I used to get and I was incredibly satisfied. Also incredible service, chill place to get your cuts and great staff. Thank you!

Service here has declined considerably. I made the mistake of stepping out for a few minutes and was really suprised when my kid texted that he was already done. The fade was low and uneven and poorly blended. Despite me asking for a high fade and short hair on top, the top part wasnt even touched. Looked like he was just rushed through. To make it worse, he had clumps of cut hair sitting on top of his ear so they didnt even do a good job brushing it off. There's a lot of different hair dressers that cycle through here and I have had some great experiences but clearly their management is unable to retain good experienced staff and maybe adding less experienced hair dressers. I wont be coming back here. I would give zero stars if I could
