Chelsi was an amazing stylist! She’s very knowledgeable and takes her time to truly care for her client’s hair. She cut and layered my wavy hair beautifully, and even showed me how my hair would look if I went with the style I had in mind. I walked out loving my hair and couldn’t be happier. I’ll definitely be coming back to her!

I’ve been coming here for years, but this last visit was extremely disappointing. The stylist’s attitude made it feel like I was an inconvenience rather than a valued customer. She acted as if I was there for her, instead of taking pride in her work. My haircut was rushed, left halfway done, and looks absolutely terrible.
It’s frustrating after years of loyalty to feel like the quality and care have completely disappeared. A haircut should leave you feeling confident and well taken care of—this was the opposite.

I’ve been getting my hair cut by Susan here at Great Clips in Clayton, and she’s absolutely amazing! She takes her time, listens to what I want, and always makes sure I walk out happy with the cut. Susan is super friendly, professional, and has a great eye for detail—she really knows how to make you look your best.
The shop itself is always clean, welcoming, and easy to get in and out of without a long wait. The staff is polite and helpful, and the online check-in makes everything so convenient.
If you’re looking for a stylist who genuinely cares and does fantastic work, go see Susan. She’s the best!
