- JSJoseph ShofnerJan 4, 20265.0I went in and they immediately took me back. They had my profile and knew I wanted my hair cut short with a fade. The lady who cut my hair was very lovely and looked like Dolly Parton
- GLGreg LewisDec 11, 20255.0I always do on line check in.
- DWDorothy WattsSep 8, 20255.0I had Katelyn this morning and had a great trim. Just what I wanted. Katelyn is friendly, easy to talk to, listened to what I wanted and professional. Great experience.
- HHHans HarrisAug 22, 20255.0⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the pleasure of getting my haircut by Katelyn today, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment I walked in, she was friendly, attentive, and made sure to make me feel comfortable. Katelyn did not know me, a simple man that needed a moment. I had a stroke two months ago. Physically I am fine now, unfortunately I cannot say the same for mental stability. The filter that made me a gentleman was damaged and now, I will say out loud believing I had internalized it. And they are completely random, no reason for why I would say or think of them. I could tell I had offended her and made the haircut uncomfortable. This was not my intent, She was a professional and still took the time to make sure everything looked perfect before I left. Not only is Katelyn incredibly skilled, but she also creates a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere that made the whole appointment enjoyable even though of my comment. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about their clients and takes pride in their work, I highly recommend Katelyn. She’s a true asset to Great Clips!
