- BBBrandy Beauchamp-BoskaAug 27, 20255.0Winning for a back to school cut and found out there was a huge back to school deal for a haircut! Also we really love the woman who cuts my son's hair, she's such a sweetheart.
- EREdie RubalcavaAug 24, 20252.0My husband has gone to this GC location twice this year. First visit back in May, his cut was really good. The stylist did exactly what he requested and he looked great. The second time, a few weeks ago, another stylist cut his hair. This time, she did not follow his instructions and his cut was not good at all. He’ll be going to Sports Clips from now on.
