- GMgabriela marquezAug 19, 20255.0My son has sever dry scalp and sometimes it’s hard to cut through his thick hair. The cut was clean and the fade was beautiful.
- MSMayank ShringiApr 6, 20241.0Bad experience with beard trim at Great Clips, 1430 El Paseo de Saratoga, San Jose, 95130. Wasted 10 bucks, instead of trimming she almost shaved ur leaving miniscule hairs on the cheek. Dis Online check after 530 pm and didn't know that check in does not work on their app or webpage daily after 530 pm evening cut off Yung when they close at 6pm, so that sucks right off the bat. Lady put me in the wait list by taking my name and phone Nov and I was called in with in 10 mins if waiting time. However the beard trim turn out to be disaster as she just brought the hairs to the skin level, I was like what. Anyway at the checkout, she took 5 minutes to figure out that online $2 off code was for hair cut and not for beard trim, that even sucks super duper !! Anyway, I just paid and walked away quickly as I could. Ain't coming back here for ever....
