- EPElisabeth PonceOct 4, 20251.0My son got a very bad haircut from this location, he even had the picture of the haircut style that he wanted and came out with a different haircut style. I did went to asked for a refund and the manager was really rude and continued asking how can get help. It took my son 6 to 8 months to grow his hair in order to get the hair cut the way he wanted and end up with the style they the stylist picked for him. Please don’t go this location.
- KWKate WestallAug 25, 20255.0I can't say enough about how wonderful my experience was. I found out that all salons were either closed or booked on the Saturday of my nephew's wedding. My daughter was one of the flower girls. There were 7 bride maids, the bride and two mothers getting their hair done so there wasn't time for the flower girl's hair. She doesn't like her hair styled so I didn't have any experience with doing her hair especially for a special occasion. I knew that Great Clips didn't take appointments but I thought I would try because I was starting to panic the night before. I called and found out that they get extremely busy in the mornings. However June said she would check and see. She got back on and said to show up by 7:45 and she would see me there. She was amazing with my daughter and even made time to do my hair as well. Both hair stylists were super friendly and went above and beyond even giving me tips on how to make it last all day even on a windy day with humidity like it was that day. She pointed me to wear i could find extra supplies as well. I will be recommending this Great Clips location to everyone!
- MHMike HeineJul 4, 20233.0Have gone here many times. Experience can vary based on individual stylist, but I've been happy with most of my haircuts. Prices have gotten way too high though IMO for a simple haircut.
