Lina was great with my son. Her attitude towards him was wonderful. She helped him get through the haircut, knowing that he was scared. She had him playing games and feeling all of her tools to make him more comfortable during that time in her chair.

I went in for a haircut and I must say I met the most lovely woman. She was kind and made me smile. She made me feel really comfortable. She gave me an amazing cut that i absolutely loved. She definitely gained a regular thanks again Lina for the great work on my hair. I would 10 out of 10 recommend if you’re looking for a great stylist with some southern hospitality.

Fantastic experience. She’s from Texas and absolutely nailed my haircut. Super friendly, professional, and really paid attention to detail. One of the best cuts I’ve had at Great Clips. Highly recommend!

I went in to get a shampoo and haircut. I was little worried because I have curly hair. I’ve had experiences where someone would cut too much. This time around was completely different. Tiffany listened to my request, made sure we were on the same page. Tiffany was super knowledgeable on curly hair and throughout my experience she provided tips and tricks. She was amazing and I will be going back to her!

They told me that the bathroom was out of service and there’s no staff bathroom, but then the other lady told me she was using the bathroom. Then she was yanking the comb through my hair and constantly pushing it into my eyes and face. Then when she was done made sure to get all of clippings into my clothes and I took a bath after the entire bathtub was coated in hair, the hair-wash was 8 extra dollars and without that it was $23 the one time i go here instead of sports clips, at sports clips you get someone who knows what their doing and a hair-wash too for the same price. Unacceptable never again.
