- DEDavid EnnulatJan 2, 20265.0I booked a timeslot for a haircut beforehand, on-line. Cyndi was the only one working at Great Clips when I stopped by, so she was exceptionally busy. Despite that she was very friendly and gave me a great haircut! I will definitely be going back...
- GPGloria M PaceSep 27, 20255.0Always get the kind of haircut I request. Ladies are awesome.
- BTBrian ThibodeauSep 5, 20255.0I go there every other week and everybody working there does a great job.
- CCCatsRTheBestAug 11, 20251.0I’m very disappointed with the repeated lack of attention to customer requests. My boyfriend visits your place for a simple, small trim, yet he consistently leaves with an inch or two cut off, feeling very upset and semi self-conscious. This has happened every visit, despite his clear instructions. I respectfully ask that you listen more carefully to your customers’ requests, as this level of service is unacceptable. I hopes to see improvement during his next visit.
- CKCorbin KelleyAug 8, 20251.0Absolutely horrible. I got a haircut here and they messed me up so bad I cried for a week straight. Don't go here.
