- CRChris RolandMar 21, 20261.0A little late to review, but received the worst haircut of my life here. My stylist was fresh out of cosmetology school and was quick to tell me that Great Clips had offered her NO training on how to cut men’s hair by the company standards. Have been to countless locations in Florida where the stylists are required to commit to a weeks long training program before taking clients. Will never return and will be reporting the store to the company for poor service
- CJchris Labate (Jessie)Mar 7, 20261.0worst place ever! They have no clue what they are doing. Rude and nasty. Never again!
- JJJeffrey Seeley JrMar 5, 20265.0Awesome customer satisfaction Great customer interaction Well mannered and respectful individual Overall wonderful service
- YSYvette StrouseJan 8, 20263.0I've been to the North Greenbush location 3 times and the Glenmont spot once... At each of these visits, I've tried to use a coupon with no luck... Again today, I signed in for a coupon, your system said I had all ready done so...and I had...but never received a coupon..so whats the secret to actually receiving that mysterious coupon????
- MLMichael LuchterhandNov 22, 20251.0Last great clips I’ll ever go to. Gave them a second shot? And nope they didn’t ask me anything before just butching me. Was looking for an inch off and they cut probably 3x that. Never again
