- RRRobert4 days ago3.0They raised their prices and won't honor a terrific Great Clips coupon for $10 cut.
- ASAnton SDec 2, 20251.0Super rude
- CBCharles BorsavageAug 16, 20251.0Two stylists were on site. Both were very personable, but when I sat in the chair, the vibe changed. Light skinned, older Asian lady cut my hair. Made it a point to ask me if I was okay because of how much I was sweating? (I even apologized). I was in the chair for maybe 10 min. She was disinterested in my haircut, and the back is visibly uneven. Worst. Haircut. Ever.
- CCCLAug 10, 20252.0Done going here! Found a much better spot.
- JPJeff PurchinJun 19, 20254.0The store was clean. My hairstylist was nice. She did rush the haircut because another client came in who she knew well.
