A wonderful lady named Erica, (hopefully I’m spelling it right!) took care of my son with ease and gave him the best haircut just in time for a wedding!
She was wonderful! Thank you!

Can I give 0 stars? I came in a few minutes after 2 pm, 10/18/2025, I checked in online, 2 gentlemen in front of me, no worries right? Wrong, one lady got done cutting someone’s hair & instead of immediately taking the next one in line, decided to clean up around the shop. Horrible customer service. Also, with 3 people sitting, waiting, the 2 ladies working didn’t seem to have any sense of urgency. I’ll never come back to great clips, the Cortez location is horrible as well. Bye Felicia.

5-Star Review for Cynthia!
I just walked out of Great Clips at the Promenade location on Manatee Avenue (right near Fresh Market), and I have to say, Cynthia is an absolute gem! If you're in the Bradenton area and need a haircut that turns heads, book with her ASAP—she's a true artist with scissors.
I went in with a vague idea of what I wanted (a modern layered cut with some texture to tame my unruly waves), and Cynthia nailed it perfectly on the first try. She listened intently to my description, asked smart questions to clarify, and even suggested a few tweaks that elevated the whole look without overpowering my style. Her attention to detail was impeccable—she sectioned my hair meticulously, ensured every layer blended seamlessly, and finished with a styling tip that made it easy to maintain at home. No awkward small talk either; she made the whole experience fun and relaxing.
What sets Cynthia apart is her genuine passion and skill. My hair has never looked this polished and vibrant—friends are already asking where I got it done! She's professional, friendly, and clearly loves what she does. Great Clips is lucky to have her, and I'll be a repeat customer for life. If you're hesitant about a salon cut, trust me: Cynthia will exceed your expectations. Highly recommend—10/10! 🌟✂️

Completely just disappointed today. Booked an appt online and with Cynthia. She saw us come in, finished her client. Didn’t address us until she looked at appts and says to us are you waiting for me? I said, yes. She says to us, well I’m going to lunch. We were sitting there waiting. My disabled father is in wheelchair with dementia. Clearly, no respect for that. We will not be back.
