- ASAthar SyedDec 22, 20255.0Nice and clean facility. I live on the other side of town, but the way staff treat everybody, I prefer to go to this location. Their manager, Adina is not only a great hair stylist, but she is exceptionally polite and accommodating to the customers.

- AAAyyyfabeDec 12, 20253.0Leaving three stars because at least they are nice. I went in to get a haircut today, and the person cutting my hair took it upon themselves to do as they please. I thought I went in to get a haircut, and ended up getting a haircut and a shave. Granted I don’t have a full beard, but I don’t remember telling the stylist I wanted them to start shaving my face, and I’m pretty sure they didn’t ask me. (-_-) I told them stop the first time, and they did it again, and then they went in with a trimmer suited to get a closer-to-the-skin cut. Now I feel like a pedo. I would have liked if they asked if they could have a go at my face , but they didn’t. I feel a little violated tbh. Perhaps they didn’t know to ask, or think to ask what and how I wanted cut? Anyways, I paid and left a tip, but that’s the last time I will be going here.
- ALAngelique LuaNov 13, 20255.0I had a great experience at great clips with my hair stylist Cecilia. She gave me a hair cut & styled my hair after & I loved it. She was very reassuring when cutting my hair because I hate getting my hair cut too short but it was perfect! She had great customer service. I would definitely come back to get my hair cut by her.
- JRJoshua RochaNov 13, 20255.0Got a really nice haircut would recommend Cecelia, she’s really good and fast!
