- JGJacqueline GagliardiOct 12, 20255.0Ashley has been cutting my hair at the Oak Forest shop since I found her. I have gotten some bad haircuts there. So I wait and watch when I have to decide. A couple of weeks ago I called to make sure she was there. She is amazing and always cuts my hair beautifully. Whenever she cuts my haircut I always get compliments from people when I am out and about. Thank you Ashley!
- BHBen HumenikSep 9, 20255.0I have lived in oak forest for 22 years of my life and have been going to this location since I remember. I always have had really bad haircuts at this place almost every time. They would do it uneven and it would look terrible. I walked in today and asked for a simple haircut a half inch off trim basically. And this lady is awesome!! She pulls out clips and the whole 9 yards just for a trim which was awesome!!! Never happened to me before at a great clips. They would always cut my hair dry and never wet, I HAVE CURLY HAIR!!! This lady however I did not catch her name did an amazing job. That was for sure the best experience I have had at this location. Kudos to the hairstylist that cut me up appreciate it! Do not get me wrong though greatclips is nice and affordable about 20$ for an adult haircut not 55$ or more like a barber so if your looking for a nice fade or taper you should look for the more expensive option they have more expertise on those types of haircuts.
