My stylist was rude from the moment I entered. I showed her a photo of what I wanted. Barely looking, she said “oh ya a pixie.” I told her I wanted it with fringe left & not too short. Some fringe on the sides & neckline. She did just exactly what she wanted. At one point I told her you’re getting it pretty short-she argued with me!!! Again I mentioned I wanted some fringe or shag left. She finished, turned me around to see the back & it is as short as a man’s!!! I just said “it’ll grow back, I said I wanted a little fringe left” Then she argued with me again when she turned me around and TOLD me that I needed my hair really short & placed her hands next to my ears. During the cut she only moved my head around or instructed me to look “down.” Other than that, I was just handled like a head in a chair, not a person. Highly disappointed and disgusted with the rudeness!! Once and done at Great Clips!

My stylist Hope was great and did an awesome job. I'm only giving 4 stars because it was hot and muggy in the salon.

Jessica did a fantastic job with my beard. She took all the time that was needed, not rushing, and the extra attention to detail really paid off. I was very pleased with the experience.

Signed up on Web. Was 7th on list. Got regular updates on progress on how long it would be.and managed to run a few errands until I received a 15 minute alert. Headed over and after a short wait I was seated and received a good haircut from Victoria. Happy customer. I will be back!
