- MMMichaelOct 17, 20255.0Although we share interesting conversation, Christine would know what to do with my hair even if I didn't say anything. Many years and counting. She is the best.

- AHAlyssa HaleySep 18, 20251.0Avoid Wendy!!!! I don’t usually leave bad reviews but I am so disappointed in my haircut/experience at this location that I HAD to. I love my hair so I am really personally upset about this. I’ve been growing my hair out for a long time and it’s very healthy. Before I went in for my haircut I had a few long layers in the back and some face framing pieces. I went in and asked for *just a trim*. I explained I am trying to grow my hair out and I am only interested in a healthy trim to get the dead ends off, but my hair is overall very healthy. I got more and more anxious as the time went on. I’ve gotten haircuts at many many great clips and it has never taken more than 10 minutes, but this woman had me in the chair for 30 minutes. Actually, for the first 5 minutes she asked me to stand up so she could cut my longest layer? This has NEVER been asked of me before but I went along with it. Then she kept misting my hair with water, and getting it tangled as she combed through it. I kept telling her my hair tangles from the wet dry combo, but she kept spraying and combing and taking her time trying to get through the tangles that she herself was causing. She also would get the scissors STUCK IN MY HAIR as she was trying to get through the knots she caused. This happened multiple times. What also made me anxious is the fact I kept seeing more and more of my hair being cut from the back. I said again, I only wanted long layers I don’t want to take off length. And I had to ask her to stop when she tried to keep cutting towards the front of my hair. It was the WORST experience I’ve EVER had getting my hair cut. I felt so uncomfortable at so many different points. The woman also at one point was combing the hair in front of my face, and she bumped me in the face with her hand… that would have been able to be ignored/assumed was an accident except she then said “oh sorry I didn’t mean to punch you in the face, why would I want to do that?” 🤨 Again, I was extremely uncomfortable. I finally had to STOP HER from causing another tangle in my hair and told her I would just brush it myself. I asked if we were done because it had been 25 minutes when I asked for a simple trim and she was no longer cutting anything, she was just taking her time combing through my hair, causing knots, and detangling it. She said yes she was done. So I brushed my own hair out, I paid, and I even tipped more than I should have, but I got out of there feeling very uncomfortable. When I got home I was very disappointed to see how much length she had cut off. I did NOT ask for any ADDITIONAL layers - I asked her to trim up what I already had. What’s even worse is that she must have never cut long layers before, or maybe it was her first day, or maybe she just didn’t want to give me a good haircut because nothing is even, it looks so terrible. I attached photos so you can see. My hair looked better before I went in, and now I am going to have to go cut more length off and pay someone else to fix what she did. It says on the receipt ***her name is Wendy*****, she was an older woman, long bleached blond-ish curly-ish hair, it was in a ponytail. I feel screwed over by her. Also - I’ve been going to Great Clips for a long time. I’ve enjoyed the convenience for years of knowing I can use their app to get on the list, and then go get a quick trim every 3-4 months to maintain my growth. I’ve lived in many different states and been a loyal customer across the country. I’ve had so many good, fast, simple haircuts that it really hurts me to now have this bad experience. I now feel like I can no longer trust the Great Clips brand. What used to be an affordable and reliable option now seems to be an *avoid at all costs* situation. Disappointing. I will no longer be trusting Great Clips with my hair. Lessons learned, and I hope this review saves someone else from what I went through.
