- JTJamie TwetenAug 11, 20252.0I went back to great clips because the time before I had a fabulous African American woman cut my hair. She was friendly asked me many questions of what I was wanting and then was very friendly and chatted with me during the haircut. She was fabulous. But I went back last week and sadly got a different woman who was not friendly, didnt go into much detail of what I was wanting. When I told her twice what I was wanting for a cut she got kind of short and snappy with me. She didn't hardly wet my hair , ask me questions and said not one word to while she was doing the hair cut. I know have to get my hair fixed because once I got home I realized she cut one side shorter and visibly shorter layers on one side then the other. It looks awful. So if I ever go back I will ask for the nice , friendly African American woman and not the half head shave green hair girl. Im Not trying to put anyone down but when you live on a budget and go in to get something nice done and you get that it just wasn't a great experience this time...
- JTJolyn TimmerJul 4, 20251.0Awful! Telling jokes about diapers, a rug in the back that stunk, leaving their client to talk to husband…thankfully we had a nice African American stylist that was extremely nice (very pretty and dressed nice) she did a great job and was very polite … used to go there all the time-never again!
- GMGreg MccreadyJun 19, 20255.0Very nice people.!!
