- MHMichele HirzOct 24, 20255.0After 30 years my stylist moved to FL. What to do? I thought I'd give Great Clips a try. I was so fortunate, I found Mike! I make a point to call and see if he's working and then sign in. He does a wonderful job and I receive many compliments. And an extra plus - the salon is just minutes away!!!
