I've gotten neck trims here for a while. This has always included sideburns and square in the back. I went here today and some chick with glasses and a bad attitude told me that I have to get the full haircut. She said it's "company policy", This is complete garbage. I will never be coming here again.

I went there for the first time and Tori did my haircut she did a really good job! But the second time, it was Toula, and she was very rude from the start and messed up everything. She took only about four minutes for the entire haircut and was the most unprofessional hairdresser I’ve ever met. When she finished, she roughly pulled off the haircut cape, and all the hair fell onto my pants.

Avoid Adriana. She was rude and impolite. She did not pay attention to customer. She made a face when I asked to touch up the edge of my hair. I wonder why Great clip hired who had bad attitude. Choose your haircut place wisely.
