- GKGopal KrishnaDec 18, 20254.0I have been going to Great Clips for my regular senior hair cut for quit sometimes (almost six to seven years) when they first opened the salon on West Broadway right in front of Walmart Super center. At that time they used to charge eight dollars. Now the price has gone up but still better than other salons. They have excellent system of on-line check in for priority cut, and for regular walk ins. Hair stylist are very friendly and nice. After one visit only they know as to what kind of hair cut you want. But they always ask before they start in case the customer has changed the mind. They do give discount to seniors. I will highly recommend this place. Most of the time there is not much wait. Only problem is, they close the salon because of shortage of employees and I have to go to East Broadway plaza or Nifong facility. Both places are almost twelve miles away from my place. Rest is just fine. Keep up the good work guys.
- JMJ McFreelyNov 2, 20255.0Best experience I've ever had at a salon and im 34 years old. I was apprehensive because I usually cut my own hair but I wanted a new style and im so glad I got Deandra. She was so professional and sweet and listened to exactly what I wanted. She took her time and kept checking in with me to make sure I liked my hair as she was cutting it. Any time i am back in town I will be requesting her!!
- CCCheddermanOct 16, 20252.0Went there for a haircut recently and noticed the scissors were not cleaned between customers which is unsanitary and everything was rushed
- BBBrendan “B”Sep 4, 20255.0Trish gives me a bad ass haircut every time I come see her. Also, she's great to talk to. 25-30 bucks and I leave looking & feeling 100X better than I did when I entered. Thank you Trish!
