- AGAsheville Mike GriffinNov 14, 20255.0Love the pre check in, real time saver. Oh, and great hair cut.
- SOStroke OfluckNov 9, 20255.0New manager Michelle is awesome. Very nice, professional, and does really wonderful job on my hair. She does a great job meeting people and making them feel welcome when they walk in the door.
- TTTimNov 5, 20255.0My very best cut in a long time! Michelle was great and listened to what I wanted! I'll be back ASAP
- WNWilliam NovakNov 5, 20255.0Cordial and consistent!
- NGNathaniel GuffeyOct 20, 20251.0I 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.
