- BJBrian JesseOct 27, 20251.0She was nice, but rushed through. Had to comb it proper myself. When I got home to the bathroom mirror, I freaked! It looks like my Lab did it!! Right side is hacked up with a huge hunk gone. Showed my wife, and she cringed!!! I'll be wearing a Ball cap for WEEKS and I am PISSED!!!!!!
- WAWASI ABBASAug 24, 20253.0Some satf behaviour was rude
- JPJohn PulaskiAug 7, 20255.0Good Service.
- ABAngie BeaughJun 25, 20251.0After doing my own research, the original complaint is about the Camden Delaware location. Please, please think before you pick Great Clips. It’s a Franchise, that charges $20 for a Hair cut. If you wouldn’t have McDonald’s cut your hair, then please reconsider Great Clips if your hair style matters. Simply Google several of the locally owned Salons where the owner/stylist has an invested interest in your satisfaction. Sure it is an extra $10, but it won’t be a waste of $20 and a butcher hair cut.
- AMAmbre MayfieldMay 31, 20255.0I’m js if you need someone to do your toddlers hair it’s Sam. Sorry Sam but you’re the best I’ve seen do hair with a tot. I have a 2.5 year old autistic boy. And she’s the only one that’s done his hair. My mom tried (ex hairstylist) she couldn’t get him to let her. Now Sam yeah even though he’s wiggly and cried he does SOOOOO MUCH BETTER WITH HER AND HIS HAIR COMES OUT GREAT!
