Kristin welcome me with open arms for my first time to great clips.
I have been looking for a new barber for some time now. The moment I first entered the store I mentioned it was my first time asked a few questions and Kristin reassured me with every question I asked that I was in the right place.
I have never had my haircut by a lady in my life.
I will say the attention to detail and gentle finesse has shined. I got the exact cut I want as well as a hair wash and she even regelled my hair for me! Honestly a great experience and I will be back!
Not to mention the price was amazing !

Courtney is the Best stylist I have ever found. I've been to a lot of stylist in my time. My first styling was the look I have been looking for in many years. I've have been to see her a total of three times already. I told her nobody will ever touch my hair again except for her. I finally found the best.

Often busy but well-staffed, I’d say average wait time is 30 min for a haircut although it can be less if you check in online. Perfect for a working class man on a tight budget. They still just charge $20 for a haircut but because of the economy it’s important to tip 30% or more to me especially if they do a great job since the official price is so inexpensive.
Mens, womens, kids and senior haircuts as well as bang, neck and beard trims. Other haircare services include shampoo, blow dry, or hair styling such as an updo. Select salons offer perm services.
