I have been going to great clips Big bay point for a few years now, and I have always received a warm welcome From the team.Nikki is amazing and really appreciated how kind and courteous she is. Yesterday we had a transaction issue that couldn’t be resolved right before closing. Nikki called me on her own time to try and sort it out. I met her at the store and she tried everything to resolved it. It unfortunately has to be resolved by Mastercard. And one more note. Cindy, thank you for the new style. I love it.

I did try a haircut in this salon for the first time and I’m so disappointed my hair length is until my waist and told to the old lady to cut my hair until my shoulder and do a layers on the back she pulled my hair,,cut it and did more snip snap. It ended the cut she did is until the length of my face chin, imagine that long hair she cut!!!I told her it’s too short but insisting it was good, I ask it to dry it but she told me that I need to pay more 50dollars do it. I paid more than a 100 dollars before to get my hair done looks nice and I don’t mind paying it more if the job is good!Great Cuts needs to hire a hairstylist that is professional experienced and not just like practicing a people hair to be cut. I’m just being nice to give a 5 dollars tip but Not recommended to anyone who wants to feel beautiful after a hair cut because you will be sooooooo disappointed!!!!!!!
