Checked in online and it stated a 40 minute wait. I was fine with a little wait so I decided to go. There were several people in the shop sitting there. There were two workers but only one was cutting hair. I ended up waiting well over an hour. Go to a location or place that actually staffs people.

I absolutely love this Great Clips location! The environment is always welcoming and comfortable.! GG is truly a gem at Great Clips! She’s not only talented with haircuts but also incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. Every time I visit, she makes sure I’m comfortable and happy with my haircut. GG goes above and beyond—I wish I could rate her more than 5 stars. She’s the reason I keep coming back!

I've been here a good number of times, seen all the stylists or whatever they're called. Not really a haircut person, but when I decide to go, I want to leave feeling good and satisfied... and they've always been exceptional at that.
