- TJTracy JohnsonFeb 14, 20265.0I came in after not having a real haircut in years. My granddaughter had a go at it and made a mess of it. Ashley sorted it out quickly and was very friendly. I didn’t think it could be rescued but it looks awesome and feels amazing. She did such a great job. Very affordable. She also gave me some great advice about how to control my toddler grandsons hair which he really needs help with.
- SSSushilFeb 6, 20265.0The transition from the skin fade to the top is seamless, and he really took the time to get the volume and shape of the sweep just right. It’s rare to find a stylist who can execute a technical cut with such precision while making it look natural. If you're looking for someone who pays attention to detail and understands modern styling, I highly recommend Brett!
- CWConnie WilliamsFeb 4, 20265.0Vernon Hills Great Clips on Milwaukee Avenue. As soon as I walked in I was welcomed by Brett who was also my stylist. Great conversationalist and the BEST haircut EVER! At 73 I’ve had a “few” haircuts. I get a blunt cut and it is perfection. Highly recommend Brett. 🤗
- MMMike MerrierJan 31, 20265.0With online sign in there was no waiting for my great hair cut
- AAAnonymus1998Jan 10, 20261.0I feel like they dont care customers. Very bad experience
