Told the stylist 3 times how I wanted it. Still cut my hair wrong. Didn't even finish, I was glad to leave. Never go back to a Great Clips again.

Ending up trusting this location after the hair cut was not cut correctly in another great clips.
This location on San Mateo fixed my hair cut with the male stylist and we appreciate him so very much for giving us a vision after. I recommend this location for genuine care of your hair.

Stopped in last minute for a spur of the moment haircut! They are receiving 5 stars for their honesty and their customer service!
I did not end up getting my haircut so I cannot review that aspect, but they are very kind and welcoming, and they will be honest with you if they cannot achieve what you are asking for. I appreciate this place and I think they are running a good business!
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.
