They 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 😱.

Great 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.

Pretty 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.
