Quick, yet well done hair cuts. The salon is clean and the staff is friendly and professional. So glad they had a sign at the street to say this location was there!

(THERE WAS ONLY ONE CLIENT OTHER THAN ME) I got my haircut from a lady she completely messed up my hair i wanted to maintain my length as I was growing it out and wanted trim my bangs WITHOUT having a proper consultation she cut of my hair. She was rushing the my cut and cut my hair making it super short and I didnt realize how short it was I wanted to add more defination and to point cut to give it more texture. She went back in and gave me a second hair cut leaving me WITH SHORTEST LAYER AROUND 4 INCHES. She matched my bangs to the the shortest length leaving me with a sharp choppy bangs nothing like the curtain bangs I wanted. I told her I have an event coming up this weekend and to do me justice but she disappointed me. I had to go back and got my hair cut again by other woman who did her best to fix my hair. She gave me a proper consultations making sure she wasnt cutting to much and working with me throught the process. She is the only reason I didnt give this place a 1 star rating (if it was possible I would have given a 0 star review)

Frank at Union Square is my GO TO. He does great! Today he wasn’t available (clients were lined up waiting for him) so I had my hair cut by Caedyn. She listened to everything and the cut is superb. I’ve already gotten compliments. I’ve used Great Clips for years and never been disappointed.

I visited Great Clips for a men's haircut and beard trim, and Tom delivered a solid, precise cut that matched what I described. He took his time to ensure clean lines on the fade and trimmed my beard perfectly, all in a clean, efficient shop. It's a reliable spot for anyone wanting a straightforward groom without the fuss—I'll be back for more cuts from Tom
