I am very disappointed by the service that was provided and if I could, I would rate this lower than one star. I came recently for a trim and expected to have an inch or two trimmed off but was unpleasantly surprised when 5 inches got cut off. The cut was unnecessarily large and I was gaslight into thinking that my hair was still long when it is now average or below average length. I had very long and healthy hair and I wanted to have a pleasant experience as this was one of the first times I went to a hair salon but this was something I did not expect. I am beyond disappointed and I suggest that anyone who wants to get a hair service not to go here. The service at this salon is absolutely awful and I suggest to the salon that you reconsider keeping your current employees. Overall, this experience left me beyond disappointed and I will not be returning whatsoever or recommending your salon to anyone.

I like check-in time policy where I can check and see the waiting time. It takes me less than 10 minutes to get there. When arriving , I see my name on the screen indicated I’m first I enjoy with varies clippers with cheerful smile and the pleasant conversation with each other. The only issue is that i go and get my hair cut once a month or longer. Added plus, I let receiving the yearly discount coupons for the varies months of the year. Bonus free hair cut on Veteran Day or was It Memorial Day.

I had an outstanding experience at Great Clips in Village Square in San Jose. The hairstylist, Michelle, was very personable and professional. I truly enjoyed my conversation with her. And my haircut was the best ever!
Thank you Michelle!

I asked for a trim about 3 1/2- 4 inches off so my hair could be evened out. However they cut an under layer way shorter than the top. We even discussed how I wanted it and I did NOT mention cutting it this way. My hair is thick and I did not want it thinner so this is very upsetting. I am very frustrated because this was my first time getting a proper haircut in years and now I am stuck having to regrow the short pieces I did NOT ask for.
