- SLSusan Lockman3 days ago5.0On December 23, 2025, I took my daughter, who has mental challenges, to a Great Clips in Asheville, NC for the second time. Wendy was her stylist both times and Wendy is fabulous. She talked to my daughter normally and did a fantastic job cutting my daughter‘s hair. We will request Wendy every time we go!
- JTJeff TealDec 24, 20251.0Worst haircut ever! She could barely speak English. Awful experience. Had to just stop her and deal with the damage before it got worse. Avoid this Great Clips. There are other options. Should have known when I went in and they had no clients during my entire experience.
- SSSteve SandersDec 15, 20255.0I’ve had my hair cut by Brenda 3 times at great clips in candler she does a fantastic job every time I go there to see her. When I went to see her a few hours ago I didn’t even have to tell her how I wanted my haircut she already knew. Thank you Brenda you’re a beautiful person.
