I love my hair cut so very much. I usually dont get my hair cut this way but I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something new and Felicia made me so happy thankful and grateful that I chose this place to get my hair cut. Thank you so much Felicia for my amazingly beautiful hair cut.
- AWAaron WilliamsSep 27, 20251.0Told 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.
- VRVanessa RomeroAug 27, 20255.0Ending 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.
- LLLilly LensesAug 25, 20255.0Stopped 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!
