Elizabeth listened to what I wanted and gave me my perfect haircut! I am so pleased. She asked if it was short enough, long enough, layered as I liked, etc. She's amazing.
I highly recommend Great Clips. Great cuts without breaking the bank.

Never touching my hair again. Went in and wanted a mohawk, came out with something that looks like a mix between a bowl cut and a mullet. They seem to be good with stereotypical hairstyles and formal styles, but anything else? Maybe choose another place!
