I came in for a walk-in and was cordially greeted by Samantha. Not only was she professional and welcoming, but she did a great job cutting my hair. Thank you!

Samantha at Great Clips is a haircut wizard!
I walked in looking like a shaggy dog after months of neglect, and Samantha greeted me with a warm smile and zero judgment. She listened exactly to what I wanted (a textured crop with faded sides. asked smart follow-up questions, and nailed it in under 20 minutes. The fade is crisp, the top has perfect movement, and she even threw in a quick neck shave that felt like a spa treat.
Clean salon, fair price, zero upselling nonsense. Samantha’s attention to detail and chill vibe turned a routine trim into a confidence boost.
