Have been going to this Great Clips for almost 4 years. The online check-in is user friendly and estimated wait times have always been accurate. Have always been greeted by a stylist and checked-in, even when they're busy!
Every stylist here have always asked about my preferred haircut and discussed options. They have never disappointed.
If satisfied, always tip your stylist!

How do you botch a pixie cut? I was nervous when the hairstylist cut straight across my bangs, but was told it would be fixed and textured. It came out almost looking like a bowl cut with the sides of my bangs longer than the center. The sides of my head weren't cut evenly, and she used clippers on the layers, which is something I've never seen a hairstylist do. Because she cut the sides so short, I just wanted the layers fixed so they weren't so long. It came out looking as terrible as expected: just a single blunt layer on top of my head. The back of my hair was rounded toward the center, but the sides looked squared. The layer on top didn't even conform to that shape, again having had clippers taken across it. The stylist was absolutely careless, and considering how awful the cut was, I went elsewhere to try to get it salvaged.
Mens, womens, kids and senior haircuts as well as bang, neck and beard trims. Other haircare services include shampoo, blow dry, or hair styling such as an updo. Select salons offer perm services.
