- MHMatthew Harris3 days ago5.0I had never been to this Great Clips before. I am nervous about letting new people cut my hair but the person who did the job was excellent! I believe his name was Dustin or Dusty. He was very nice and I enjoyed the experience immensely. I would definitely go back!
- CBCassandra Burlile4 days ago5.0Dusty at the Great Clips on Franklin and Orchard (next to Fred Meyer) is absolutely fantastic! He's always attentive, kind, and provides great service. I leave every visit feeling like a star with a fresh cut that looks amazing. Dusty truly knows what he's doing, and his friendly demeanor makes the experience even better. Highly recommend!
- MGMichael Green5 days ago5.0Dustin provided me with an excellent experience while getting my hair cut. Cordial, friendly, down to earth. His first concern is always making sure that I was comfortable and getting the hair cut that I wanted. Can not recommend enough!
- TYTorryn Youngquist5 days ago5.0Dusty at Great Clips was incredible. During my visit, another customer became extremely rude and started going off about his personal beliefs, creating an uncomfortable situation for everyone in the store. Dusten handled it with calm, professionalism, and respect far more grace than most people could manage. He stayed focused on his work and treated everyone with dignity despite the behavior. That said, Great Clips should seriously consider setting firmer boundaries with clients especially in times like these so employees aren’t put in situations like this. The guy got mad about a rainbow pin for christs sake. Huge kudos to Dusty for representing your brand so well under pressure.
- JAJeremy A5 days ago1.0This location is close to my house, so naturally I tend to come to this location more often than not. From a outside viewpoint this location has always struggled to keep and hire quality employees, often times hiring individuals who seem to have little to no experience or have no customer service abilities. Upon my visit yesterday, the line was officially crossed. I am not a naturally outgoing person and prefer to have a silent, peaceful haircut experience. However, upon my arrival yesterday, I was greeted by a member of the LGBTQ community who was very vocal on their political views the entire time I was receiving my haircut. As someone who works in Customer Service, this was completely inappropriate. I have never spoken a word to this individual in my life, and for him to spill his political views on me in a professional environment is completely unacceptable. I hope that all Treasure Valley Great Clips location compiling into one franchise will help eliminate these types of interactions and create a more experienced and professional environment. Ultimately, I will not be returning to this location.
