- RAR M Asif Amin (Asif)Dec 24, 20255.0First experience exceeded expectations. Janae kept taking feedback throughout the session and understood what I want.
- TRTharosa RajaratneDec 24, 20255.0Best place. Have been getting haircuts for the past 2 years. Very consistent. Friendly staff.
- JAJohn AbmaDec 12, 20251.0Awkward. Made to feel like you’re bothering them. I loved great clips. At this location in canyon crest, Erica is simply great for haircuts Jade is very a good stylist and gives just a great experience while getting your hair cut. Listens and is friendly. recommend either. However .. ..as in great clips fashion they make you feel awkward for asking for the same stylist. Then it becomes weird and makes you feel unwanted as a customer with odd excuses and poor customer service. If you’re looking for a quick haircut. Ok, just don’t get comfortable asking for the same person. Can’t recommend if you want consistency. If you notice all positive reviews below are from first time customers. Not returning customers. The other negative review is also from a returning customer. Guess they don’t want returning customers
- WGWanda GongDec 4, 20255.0Getting a haircut from Ji is the best!!! She did a perfect job, the way I wanted it. Brought my mother too, and my mother can't stop saying how much she LOVES her haircut
- DRDaniel “D. L. Technic” RodriguezNov 22, 20255.0Excellent service
