- JFj fowlerDec 23, 20255.0Went in to get my out of control hair slightly tamed, my wife needed a trim. We were greeted by two friendly employees and we were able to be seated immediately. My stylist was friendly and professional, with a very engaging personality. They followed my directions and made sure to double check before cutting. My wife very much found her stylist to be of equal level. We will definitely be returning. Negative one star
- PNPaul NorrishNov 2, 20251.0Came in at 440 wanted a cut was turned away if you are going to post hours keep up to it I work with the public if a client comes in 20 minutes before closing we wait on them
- JRJustin RiveraSep 26, 20251.0They need to just shut this place down. I always walk out of there with a bad cut. How do you mess up a high and tight 😱.
- HCHarry CheneySep 26, 20255.0Great Clips is a great place for a very good haircut. Senior Discount, plenty of parking and the benefit of scheduling your haircut is wonderful. I really like this business.
- JKJoshua KulczykAug 29, 20252.0Pretty poor quality haircut. Bob(?) just doesn’t have the skill to be cutting hair. The lightning bolt looks like a crooked ocean wave. He decided to take the easy way out and clipper the top but ended up missis some of the bangs. This is too bad because I had my other son there the day before and got a great cut.
