It was not as expected and as what i told, no professionalism just taking trimmer on hand cut in all the way same. I can also use trimmer by my own if i dont want hair style. Not coming any more by sure.

I’ve had great experiences with Great Clips at Rymal Retail Center in the past, but unfortunately, the quality of service seems to have declined recently. I had a haircut today, and the stylist seemed a bit rude or impolite when I asked to have it cut shorter than last time. On a previous visit, when I gave polite feedback for a small adjustment, the reaction also felt defensive — as if I was asking for something unreasonable.
At a price of around $30, I expect a certain level of professionalism, attentiveness, and respect toward customer requests. If I just wanted a basic trim, I could easily go elsewhere for much less. I’ve chosen this salon before because of the quality and service, but this recent experience was disappointing.
The haircut itself was good (not great), but the customer service was not satisfactory. I genuinely hope management takes this feedback constructively and invests in training staff to be more humble, attentive, and customer-focused — it truly makes all the difference.

Just had another GREAT hair cut at Great Clips. Milana you’ve done another GREAT JOB!!! I highly recommend the RYMAL location, Milana is the first person to cut my hair as short as I like it and still make it look stylish. I’ve seen many nice looking hair cuts leave this salon. While waiting my turn I’ve watched the other stylists and seen some pretty satisfied customers leave. Check them out.
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.
