The stylist did a great job. The Waterview location historically has exceptional stylist's, as not every stylist can cut men's hair.

Have had mostly good experiences at this great clips. Miss Stacy (hope I spelled it right) does a good job on my hair and dealt with my oldest son well. He's a prima Donna about his hair so it was helpful. Got one crappy cut here, but overall I like the staff. They're very nice and pretty quick if you pre-check in.
