- PCPatti CarterMar 28, 20265.0They are always very friendly and professional. I love getting in line before arriving at the salon.
- ETElim Y TesfaMar 27, 20265.0Amber is absolutely incredible!! She is so skilled and has unmatched insight on how to advise you on your style. She works with such evident passion to create the best look for you!! Thank you so so much!!
- AAAspenMar 12, 20265.0I recently went to this great clips and received the worst haircut of my life. It was super uneven and I didn’t get anything I asked for (layers, face framing). However, I am giving this location 5 stars because when I brought this issue to light, they had another stylist fix my hair (and give me a fantastic haircut), refunded me, and were very kind and apologetic. I would 100% return to this location after their care and attention in fixing my issue. First haircut and second haircut photos attached.
- GTGabe TruesdailFeb 22, 20265.0Stephani was great and was super gentle with my curly hair. Definitely will be going back !
- ARAlli R.Feb 7, 20265.0I’ve been going to this Great Clips for over a year now and have had the best haircuts of my life. The employees here clearly love what they do, even on wildly busy weekend days.
