I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the service I received at this Great Clips location. I visited a couple of weeks ago for a haircut, and the stylist who attended to me performed a very poor job. My hair was not cut properly and the overall service was unsatisfactory.
I had to travel out of state shortly after my visit. Upon my return, I went back to the salon to request that they fix the cut. However, the staff denied my request, stating that too much time had passed.
I am extremely disappointed that the salon would not correct an error that was clearly their fault. Not only was there no apology, but there was also no offer of a refund. A business's reputation can be ruined by a single staff member who is not held accountable for their work. I believe that when a mistake is clearly evident, a refund should be provided, especially if the business is unwilling to fix the issue. I will not be returning to this location and cannot recommend it to others.

The people here are so nice! No matter who it is, they are always nice and personable. Service is always fast, but not rushed as well. Even when they are busy.
