- AMAshley MichaelNov 8, 20255.0Ashleigh did such an amazing job and was super nice
- CFCharles FenchakNov 6, 20255.0Very clean and excellent service!!!
- AAAliOct 14, 20255.0Brooke did such a great job with my little boy!! She asked if he had any sensory issues (which he doesn't but i appreciated that she asked) and was just so great with him. He ate a candy bar while she cut his hair, and she put ms rachel on for him and even cleaned all the chocolate off his "paws" (as she said) and his face for me. 💚 His last hair cut (at a different place) took a long time and he really struggled. this time it went so smoothly and fast I couldn't believe it, especially since he's a lot more hyper than he was when he got his last cut. I told her my son is pretty squirmy and he made me out to be a liar, but I'm glad he did lol. I'm so happy with how everything turned out, we will definitely be back. And $15 for a hair cut can't be beat! We paid wayyy more for his last one. I seriously can't put into words how grateful I am for such a nice experience, I had been so worried about taking him.
- SBSherry BOct 10, 20255.0Missie at Altoona Great Clips is an amazing stylist. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to cutting curly hair! If I could give her 10 stars, I would!
- HKHeather KeeferOct 10, 20255.0Missy is absolutely amazing! My son and I have been going to her for years. We both have curls and she ALWAYS does an amazing job with them. If you have curls, you need to stop in and see Missy! Trust me, it will be the best thing you do for those curls!
