The worst haircut of my life is an understatement. I asked for long face frame layers in the front, then snip! Layers in the back! I have poker straight long hair. It looks like I have a mullet. I asked mid cut what youare you doing?!
I'm so upset. I thought give it a few days and I'll get used to it but NO. I still tear up. My long hair is now a mess.

I used the “Online check-in” feature on the Great Clips app, hoping to streamline my visit. When I arrived, there were two hairdressers, and two customers signed in. The person ahead of me was promptly greeted and seated, while the second hairdresser vanished into the back—only to reappear as the first haircut was wrapping up. So much for skipping the wait; on this occasion, online check-in offered no real advantage.
As for the haircut itself, while technically adequate, the technique left much to be desired. The stylist was unusually aggressive with the clippers, pressing them hard against the side of my head. I have had many haircuts over the years, but this was the first time I genuinely felt uneasy about someone wielding electric clippers.
Between the unexpected 15-minute delay and the heavy-handed approach, I am leaning toward taking my business elsewhere next time.
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.
