Short Asian lady seems rude. She doesn’t listen to the instructions. Just wanted to sell her shampoo. The front desk lady/owner (and barber) is very nice. Possibly she would have done better job.
Never going back to this location.

My wife's hair is butchered and I get the same generic response as everyone else. I don't want to contact the basic customer service email or phone number. The actual owner needs to reach out. This is ridiculous, like a little coupon is going to fix years of growing hair out or the self esteem issues something like this can cause. Do not go here. This is absolutely outrageous.

Where do I even begin? I walked into Great Clips with a full head of dreams and walked out looking like a rejected Lego figurine. I asked for a simple trim — nothing fancy. What I got instead was a jagged, uneven, post-apocalyptic interpretation of what once resembled human hair.
The stylist (let’s call her “Edward Scissorhands on a sugar crash”) seemed to wield the clippers like she was in a timed competition. I swear I heard the theme from Jaws playing in the background as she approached my head.
When it was done, she spun me around to face the mirror. I stared into the void. The void stared back — and it had a crooked hairline and sideburns from two different centuries.
Now I wear hats. Indoors. At night. In the shower.
Thanks, Great Clips, for giving me the kind of haircut that makes people look twice — and not in a good way.
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.
