OUTSTANDING service! Ebony offered to cut my hair in a different way than I’ve ever done before and it was fantastic afterwards. It’s going to be my new standard from now on.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Stars
I had a great experience at Great Clips in Symmes Township! The staff was friendly, professional, and efficient. I was in and out quickly, but they still took the time to make sure my haircut looked just the way I wanted. The stylist listened carefully, offered helpful suggestions, and paid close attention to detail. The salon was clean and well-organized, and check-in through the app made things even smoother. I’ll definitely be coming back for my next cut!
