- RNRebecca NelsonJan 5, 20264.0After my daughter recieved an uneven cut, I was able to get ahold of the owner who made things right. Great Clips went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy with the outcome and that I feel comfortable returning to the salon. My previous review which I have since deleted was a little over the top, and I hope to have more pleasant experiences with the company in the future. Thank you 😊.
