Brought my kids in because our regular hairdresser wasn’t able to get us in. All three of my kids left with uneven hair. Asked for one kid’s swoops/side swept bangs to be trimmed and for blunter fringe to be cut. The stylist trimmed one small chunk of the side swept bangs and left everything else be. Didn’t dry her hair and left clumps of cut hair all over all three of my kids. We had to visit my partner’s barber the next day to get everyone’s haircuts fixed and cleaned up. They had to raise my daughter’s undercut by 1/4 inch to even it out and cut her bangs even shorter.
One stylist who had one of my kids did clean up a growing out asymmetrical cut pretty well and two of the stylists were friendly and engaging. However, we won’t be back.

i am genuinely so mad at everything. the ONE job of a hair salon is to give the right haircut. i had been here many times before and theyd given me the right haircut, so like you do, i told people that great clips is good, and they should go. then they pull out clip notes from when i was 10, and DONT TELL ME. you realize i have a life. Now everywhere i go for the next 3 weeks everyone is gonna call me stupid and make fun of me. seriously greatclips, how do you mess this up?
