Kameron at the Arboretum store has been cutting my hair for the past 6 months. She is technically first class and an excellent listener - meaning she cuts your hair the way YOU want it cut.
She is upbeat and positive, and always has a big smile on her face. She is a pleasure to deal with.

This was my first time coming to a Great Clips. As a woman with textured hair, I’ve always been skeptical to go to a walk-in salon without previous knowledge of the specific stylist. I was thoroughly surprised and extremely satisfied with the pixie cut that Kameron gave me. I have found my new salon.
