The sign says, walk ins, welcome! I beg to differ. I walked in, all chairs full with people waiting & girl said it would be an hour wait. I sat there & waited, til I was only customer, waiting, almost an hour.
In the meantime, the waiting customers had filled back up & when girl called next customer, I was put back, to bottom of list, because of not checking in online.
You need to change your sign, to online check ins, only....total BS!
Everytime, I go to this great clips, there's always, something & I will not be spending my money, with this store, ever again...not that it matters to anyone that works there.

I sat down in James’s chair told him how I would like my hair cut and he delivered. Hands down the best low taper fade I’ve gotten in 15 years.
