Husband had horrible experience. Explained how he wanted his haircut and explained he did not want back cut. First thing done was clippers down the middle of back of head. Months of growing out his hair now down the drain.

Wanted to thank Sandi for fixing my messed up hair cut I received from another location a few weeks ago. Had to cut quit a bit off to get it all to blend again but well worth it. Will definitely be going back to this location in the future, staff very polite & Sandi was very meticulous about her work! Best Great Clips I've been to by far!
