I waited for a long time, and unfortunately it turned out to be the worst haircut experience I’ve ever had. The staff seemed rushed and unprofessional, and it felt like they were just trying to get to the next person in line instead of giving proper service. The haircut I received was uneven and honestly the ugliest I’ve ever had in my life. Very disappointed and would not recommend this location.

Took my kid for haircut here and I also went for my haircut. I said medium was ok for my kid. But they almost shaved his head nearly level 1. And both the ladies were too rude and mean.
My kid wanted a lollipop but they told me kid is not getting his lollipop because he tried to grab one. The meanest thing I have ever seen is one of the ladies hid that lollipop container. They put it inside cabinet.
I went to haircut but instead got a very shabby craftsmanship from the meanest ladies ever. Just skip this worst great clips branch at Monroe for good. Don't even bring your kids who are energetic here. They will feel sad and disappointed and will have the worst experience ever.
Mens, womens, kids and senior haircuts as well as bang, neck and beard trims. Other haircare services include shampoo, blow dry, or hair styling such as an updo. Select salons offer perm services.
