- EEElliotNov 13, 20255.0I have been going to Great Clips for many years now and I get anywhere from a mediocre haircut to a somewhat decent one each time, All depends on the Stylist but I have never been truly happy leaving. This all ended the day I stumbled across Brian. He actually takes his time instead of trying to do a quick 7-minute haircut and you can tell that he cares about his work and pays attention to all the little details. It's too bad Great Clips around the Nation don't have a bunch of Brian's working their stores because I will only go to this location for him only. Keep up the good work dude!
- SKSusan KimNov 3, 20251.0Zero star for this location…. The hair stylist who performed my husband’s haircut did a horrendous job. She got irritated when my husband requested that she clip his sides cause she didn’t clip it at all as she said “all done”. So she chopped off top hair as she clipped his sides cause she was upset? He now looks like a porcupine. Totally unprofessional. Google should let us post reviews with zero star.
- NHNathan HerbstSep 13, 20255.0I seem to always do better at great clips when I don't know where else to go.
- LRLawrence F RamosAug 22, 20255.0Mary always does a great job
- JBJeffrey BatemanJul 30, 20255.0Brian did a great job with my haircut, its been 2 years since ive had my hair short because it tends not to be done evenly but Brian made my hair look great after a rough explanation. Ask for Brian.
