young men should stay away! I have gotten a haircut from multiple different employees at this location. And they were all so terrible that I was embarrassed to go to work or in public anywhere. Yesterday I had to pay for a second haircut from eagles nest barber shop so they could attempt to fix what great clips did to my hair. Do these employees at great clips even have a license? They don’t cut like it. I’m very upset and that’s the last time the staff at great clips will mess my hair up. Terrible staff, terrible cuts. (Young men stay away)

My best advice is to never ever ever ever go into Great clips it is basically the same thing as they just cut my son's hair with their eyes closed it is a hack job it looks absolutely horrible and they chopped it all off now so yes patches of missing hair on his head and the back of it is the worst that I have ever seen it look and people ask me why I won't trust this place to cut my own hair

Super honest review here. I was NERVOUS to go to a great clips. I’ve had not so great experiences with GC in the past (different locations). I was in a pinch though yesterday and needed a haircut quick. I wish I could remember the name of my stylist—she ROCKED! I was blown away at how well my cut (and full undercut) was. I also truly appreciated that my stylist didn’t try to convince me to do a different cut (which I have had problems with in the past, with other really expensive stylists). I told her what I wanted, and she did it with enthusiasm! Thank you, great clips, and to my stylist!
