This place is usually awsome but the lady that cut my bangs was clueless. I should have said something right then but had to get to work and i thought i could fix them. She was extremely slow, said she had been cutting hair for 40 yrs! No way. Wanted my bangs under my eyebrows. Told her she probably should wet it but nooooo she didnt think so. Bangs are chopped.

We’ve come to this Great Clips location several times and have overall enjoyed our experiences. Sometimes we visit as a walk-in, but usually we sign in online first. I decided on a whim to go for a haircut. As I waited to be greeted, I was assessing how busy they were and how long the wait would be. Once I was informed it would be a while I was trying to decide if we wanted to stay or come back another day. The stylist up front loudly said to her client that she knew I was going to wait and then get an attitude when service takes too long. I have no idea why she would get this impression other than she was trying to be rude to drive me away. I have never met her before. I go out of my way to be kind to all service workers and am embarrassed of any kind of public confrontation. I decided right then, I wouldn’t be returning.
Mens, womens, kids and senior haircuts as well as bang, neck and beard trims. Other haircare services include shampoo, blow dry, or hair styling such as an updo. Select salons offer perm services.
