Requested hair to be trimmed. Curly hair with layers. Provided photos of how it had been cut by other stylists pointing out layers and preferred length.
Received straight cut. When I called to ask about getting it corrected, he argued over the phone. Acknowledged he heard layers and then attempted to say my hair didn't have layers. He told me I was welcome to come back the next day when he wasn't working or to go a different Great Clips location (Clark St). Prior visit I have seen Stylist 1 making fun of a older female customer who came back to get her hair corrected. Claimed to his coworker, "that lady has no clue what she wanted". It was VERY TELLING when he attempted the same thing with me over the phone.
Thankfully a different stylist at this location was more diligent to look at the photos, attempted to fix her coworkers mistake, and exhibit professional behavior.

Michael provided me the worst haircut I have ever received. I told him to leave 1.5 inches on top and he cut my hair to leave 0.5 inches. On top of this, he left the sides longer than requested, and the cut on my neck and sideburns is choppy and incomplete. I now have a poorly done buzz, which I did not request. He failed on both communication and execution, do not recommend.

I love this location! My girl, Anna, always always makes me look good for any special occasion-wedding, date night.
Prices are much more reasonable than any other salon that charges $50-$60 for just a simple men’s fade cut.
Highly recommend and please ask for Anna! She’s the best!
