- IDIan DelormeOct 19, 20255.0Always amazing and friendly staff
- EMElmir MammadovOct 15, 20251.0I had a really bad haircut here. They just sprayed my hair with water, cut it quickly, and didn’t even bother to dry it. When I got home, washed, and dried my hair properly, I was shocked — there were uneven patches everywhere, up and down all over my head. That’s exactly why I stopped going to Great Clips a long time ago, and now I regret giving them another chance. The quality is absolutely trash. They seriously need to hire proper barbers who know what they’re doing.
