I was recognized when I first walked in the door. I was told they would be right with me as they were cleaning up. They let me know they’ll be with me as soon as they cleaned up. They were friendly and did a good job.

Just got a haircut from the manager, Kita. She was so friendly, professional, and gifted with those tools! Such a quick and fabulous haircut. She just let me ramble the whole time which I needed. Highly recommend! Hairdressers like Kita are the reason I still go to Great Clips! $21 for a haircut is such a great price, so I get to give them a better tip! If they kill it, I match the price of the cut in the tip. Some salons cost over $40 and you get the same service. I gotta make sure I take care of my girls though. Thank you, Kita!

Why is every great clips I visit is just getting worse and worse. The stylist just ran through the clipper and made it really short which is not the expectation and I brought my father for the first time and his was done well but I am not sure if they applied the senior price and plus they failed to give me a receipt.
To just run clipper over the hair they are charging $21 which is just really pricey. Very frustrating and disappointing.

First bad experience. The stylist did not listen to some of what I was asking for and was rather snippy. I did not want a cut that would end up laying flat on my head or crown and that's exactly what it does now. I will go back because the other stylists do a good job.

We just got there to ask for 2 kids’ hair cuts, the person at the front was having a very rude attitude, I asked for other person to help us, but she start pretending she did not understand what we were saying. I’m sorry but that is not customer service at all.
