Update - Issue was promptly addressed. Appreciate the follow-up.
Terrible experience. The stylist was rude and refused to listen when I tried to explain how I wanted my son’s haircut. She rushed through it in just a few minutes, and the result was uneven and poorly done. Completely unprofessional — I would not recommend this place.

This is a very pathetic place to go for haircut!! Please avoid visiting this place.
The stylist who gave us haircut was very rude and not even willing to listen to how I wanted my kid’s haircut. When told, she snapped at me and said “I know how to cut, don’t tell me”. This is certainly not a way to speak with a customer. She completed 2 haircuts in less than 10 minutes. Both our haircuts ended up uneven and messy.
I gave the tip due to courtesy, which I feel is not worth it. We will not visit again as we do not wish to experience such worst services.

I just had the absolute worst haircut of my life at this Great Clips. The stylist, Melinda, rushed through my haircut in under 3 minutes like she was in some kind of race with her coworker (the one with glasses). There was already a young boy in the chair with her coworker before I even came in—and when I was done and walking out, that boy was STILL in the chair getting his haircut. That’s how ridiculously rushed mine was.
She didn’t use a razor for the fade, the line, or even clean up my sideburns. No effort, no care—just a quick hack job and “done.” She didn’t even bother to show me the back with a mirror. When I got home, my wife took a picture, and I was shocked—it was uneven, sloppy, and looked like a nightmare.
I paid $21 for this disaster and even tipped her $5 out of courtesy. I then had to go to another salon and pay again just to fix the mess she left on my head.
Never come back.
