- JLJ L2 days ago5.0Amazing cut by Deirdre and amazing customer service from both her and Lauren. Thank you!
- TTtkpurdy245 days ago5.0Deirdre at the Wallingford location has been cutting my hair for several years now and she is nothing short of amazing. I have no problem waiting a few extra minutes for her specifically. It's worth it! I will follow her all around CT if I have too until baldness sets in.
- EREvan RobertsJan 6, 20265.0Thanks for the great cut Deidre. Awesome job as always
- DJDawn JonesJan 6, 20265.0First time at Great Clips as my go to place did not have availability and I really needed a haircut . I was nervous going to a new place but after Deirdre cut my hair I was very happy that I tried Great Clips . It’s obvious Deirdre knows what she is doing and suggested she put in some much needed layers to help my super straight hair . I left feeling like I truly had a great haircut from Deirdre and will return again for my next cut .
- LPLiz PitchfordJan 6, 20265.0We have been going to Deirdre for YEARS. She is so knowledgeable in her craft AND in people. She listens and understands what we are looking for every time. She has always gone above and beyond to make everyone comfortable. She’s the only one my son has ever opened up to while he sits and gets the best cuts. Her vibe and style can’t be beat! I have recommended her to many friends and family and they all agree that Deirdre is their #1. Great Clips in Wallingford is so lucky to have her.
