I normally don’t leave reviews, but I felt it was important to share my experience. I went to this Great Clips for a simple haircut, but it came out very uneven — one sideburn was cut while the other wasn’t, and the overall cut didn’t look balanced. I ended up going to another salon right afterward, and it took them over an hour to correct it. They even mentioned it was one of the more difficult fixes they’d seen. I understand everyone can have an off day, but this visit was disappointing, and I hope the quality improves in the future.
Mens, womens, kids and senior haircuts as well as bang, neck and beard trims. Other haircare services include shampoo, blow dry, or hair styling such as an updo. Select salons offer perm services.
