Just got a hair cut here on a whim while waiting for my car to get out the shop. After getting home and checking on it I'm pretty disappointed. First off, the stylist that should of been next to cut my hair disappeared and came back after a different stylist sat me down.
The stylist I ended up getting a hair cut with was friendly but she cut my hair unevenly. My right side is shorter and the bangs are cut way back and short. They also dont blend well with the rest of the layers. I noticed while she was cutting she didn't cut off in a smooth line and would leave strands sticking out while letting it fall back to the rest of the hair too.
Edit: After emailing to complain I was offered an adjustment to fix it by the managers. But I haven't gone back due to the fact that my bangs are already shorter than I wanted them and cut so far back. Also that this shop is super out of the way for me. I just don't think my hair can be fixed without growing out first 🤷♀️
I don't usually go leave bad reviews. You can click on my posts to see how rarely I even review, much less negatively. But this really upset me considering it's during holiday season.

I have been coming here for years and I usually get a quality hair cut. Everyone is friendly and the price is reasonable. I like the online check in as well.

Lashawna was by far the best hair cutter I have experienced at great clips, she makes sure you get exactly what you need and was very interactive and helped me achieve what I needed, she even gave me some tips and tricks on how to keep my hair healthy without buying products. She taught me how to get rid of my split ends and she was so positive and helpful
