- LNLucas Nikkel3 days ago5.0Great place. Usually busy but it's understandable. I sign in on the app. Makes it easier.
- LLLauren4 days ago5.0I came in today for my haircut with Anna. She did a great job. She did exactly how I wanted my haircut to be. She was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. I will definitely be back and will recommend her to my friends and family! Also save time by downloading the great clips app on your phone to check in because there could be a wait.
- ATAustin Thompson4 days ago5.0Worked with Cylia and she did an amazing job working with me and my sensory issues! The haircut looks great and feels wonderful!
- RBRebecca BowmanOct 16, 20255.0Best haircut by Anna. I trust and appreciate her skill to give such good haircuts.
- CEChelsea EskanderOct 11, 20255.0My 2-year-old kiddo had a mildly traumatic previous haircut at a different place (not Great Clips) and we apprehensively decided to give this spot a try for a change. We're so pleased with how it went! The staff were very calm and low key with him, which is what I think he needed, and soooo so patient. He did great, and his haircut looks great, so we're happy to find a new regular place again! Thank you!
