Patty is the one who cut my hair. The whole service she complained about how dead and ugly my hair was, she wasn’t wrong but it was unnecessary to be commenting those things. I only wanted 2 inches cut off and she showed me how much it would be, and she cut me to a bob. She gave me curtain bangs without asking me. I am very disappointed in the services and she ruined my hair. Mallory cut my friends hair and left her with a mullet when she had asked for long layers. She is also super dissapointed. Do not go here. They are rude and not good at their jobs. I have never had a good experience at great clips, I shouldn’t have gone
