- GCGlendi CanoDec 23, 20251.0I paid $25 for my son’s haircut, and it was completely ruined. I usually pay $20 and tip $10 to make sure extra care is taken, but this experience was very disappointing. The quality was far below what I expect from Great Clips.
- CCClark CompanikNov 27, 20255.0I have been visiting this Great Clips location for years. Debbie is the absolute best! Always fast, friendly service and a fantastic cut!
- LLLeon LambertNov 23, 20251.0This is the second time I've received expired coupons in the mail this time I got it 2 days prior to getting my haircut to find out after getting my haircut it had expired almost 30 days already I spoke to the manager who was very rude telling me they don't control the mail and if I didn't like it to go somewhere else thanks for your 20+ years of service my family and I will do just that.
- AMAneta MargiottaSep 20, 20251.0I have received the worst haircut in years. When I have tried calling the salon to inform them of my experience, no one answers.
- GJGigi JSep 18, 20255.0I had a new stylist and I loved her! Totally forget her name but she knew so much about my curls, and did my cut more evenly than i've had in a while. We used the check in online option and were taken back immediately. Love this shop!
