- SRSarah RoseDec 11, 20255.0Jazmin was a great stylist and a fun person to talk with! Love my lighter, healthier locks😍
- RLRichard LeeDec 5, 20253.0Haircut was ok but when I was going to purchase the discounted haircut gift cards, I was told I had to have paid full price for my haircut to buy those. Not very good incentive to come back to this location. Same thing happened at the Manville location. Then had to run over to hillsborough to finally get them there.
- SRSteven RNov 12, 20251.0Worst haircut I’ve ever had. Do not go here. I should have said that I would not pay for the butcher job she did. Might be shaving it off so I don’t get insulted at work on Friday.
- OAOlivia ArditoOct 25, 20255.0Jasmine did a great job,
- GGgrandsport550Sep 12, 20255.0I don't have a lot of hair but what I do have requires trimming once a month to meet my appearance requirements. Great Clips professionals know exactly what I require, are professional and have a great app for scheduling.
