- KRkevin reilly6 days ago5.0Thank you Taylor!! You cut my hair just the way I like it! I will be coming to the Shelton store from now on. you honored my coupon for 9.99, since Derby won't honor my coupons at all and I've been going there for 8 years. You have a new customer Shelton Bridgeport Ave Plaza!!
- HHHLMDec 26, 20255.0I been using the Great Clips app since the day the app was available. The hair stylist greeted me and did a great job with my haircut. I was out the door within a few minutes. Great Clips is one of the many cogs of life that keeps us presentable. Great job, Great Clips!
- CJCharles JeffryesNov 15, 20255.0Linda was my stylist. She gave me such a great cut that everyone has said, "that is great". I cannot say enpugh positive things. She made a 69 year old guy look like a 40 something guy.
- KTkris turowerNov 4, 20255.0I like this place ,friendly people , professional
- FMFrank mondoSep 18, 20255.0Just got a haircut with Jalyla, after having the same Barbor for 15 years that retired. It was challenging finding someone that I plan on being loyal to. The attention to detail, going the extra mile, and the social aspect made me feel mind blown. I’m ecstatic that I have someone that I trust for my haircuts for now on.
