- SCscott churchApr 2, 20265.0Olivia Hall did an outstanding job cutting my hair and my girlfriends' hair. We watched her cut on kids and adults alike and was so personable and great with the kids.
- SPSporgan PackardMar 6, 20265.0Photo from earlier in the day to post haircut showing how long my hair was. Emilee did great, was nice (even though my hair is significantly longer than what they ideally see for a $20 haircut) and gave me a great cut while having it not take too long.
- BDBob DrakeFeb 20, 20264.0Long wait. Seemed to be under staffed. Other that, haircut was perfect! Also the coupon was very helpful.
- ARAlexys RuddFeb 5, 20261.0I’ve had horrible botched bangs from Great Clips but I decided to give Athens a try. First time 100/10 I LOVED the girl I got. She wasn’t in so I went to another girl. Told her specifically I wanted them at my bottom brow line. She cut there… first. Then she kept cutting. When I left they looked okay. When I got to my car and shifted them a bit and they were wayyy shorter. I went to style them this morning. They were in the middle of my forehead. Not the mention, the cut is choppy. I will be sticking to the girl I liked from now on.
- DWDebbie WhaleyJan 29, 20264.0I cannot get a stylist to cut my hair the way I want it cut. there is only one there that does it the way I want it and that is stylist Named Mandy or possible Maddy. this stylish is awesome and I wish I could get her every time I come in.
