The gal who cut my hair did a great job. I wanted the hot guy to cut my hair; he always does an amazing job! I believe his name is Kyle.

I got a very good haircut this last visit. I will definitely keep the name of the lady who worked on my hair.

I usually like great clips. Today the lady didn’t feel like she knew what she was doing. I asked for layers and told her I wanted to keep it a ponytail but when she went to start cutting my hair, she was going to cut it shorter than my chin. I actually just told her never mind and just ended up getting a 3 inch trim. Then when I went to go use a coupon she didn’t know how to do it and said she wasn’t sure how to work the system. Although I still think great clips is a great fast way to get your haircut I just highly recommend not using the older lady with the limp As she just doesn’t seem to be trained in the system or in anything other than a straight trim
