- DEdivine echo6 days ago1.0Disappointing Customer Experience with one Hair Stylist I brought my daughter in for a haircut and unfortunately had a very unpleasant experience with the stylist. From the beginning, she was not welcoming. She seemed annoyed that I had booked the appointment under my own account, even though it was for my child. When she noticed my daughter’s hair was tangled, instead of addressing it kindly, she told my daughter to “tell your mom to use conditioner”—which felt inappropriate and unprofessional to direct at a child. I tried to explain the haircut I wanted, but she didn’t seem open to listening. Even after I showed her a reference image from the Great Clips website, her body language and facial expression made it clear she was irritated that I was giving input. She didn’t acknowledge my request and made me feel like I was being difficult for simply asking for a specific style. Overall, the experience felt dismissive and uncomfortable. I hope the salon encourages staff to be more respectful, especially when working with children and parents who are simply trying to communicate clearly. “Because of this stylist’s unprofessional and unwelcoming behavior, I will not be returning to this salon.”

- ACAnkit ChopraNov 6, 20255.0Had a great experience here. Andrea did a great job, the attention to detail for the fade she made was commendable. Took her time and I was really pleased with the outcome
- MMMsharmaOct 19, 20254.0Visited Great Clips on North Service Road for the first time, and it was a nice experience. My hairdresser, Anjali, did a great job and understood exactly the hairstyle I wanted. I’m really happy with my haircut! I like that they register your haircut style for future visits, so you don’t need to explain it again. The service was good, and it’s easy to just walk in since they don’t take reservations. Overall, a convenient and reliable place to get your haircut.
