I have been a loyal Great Clips customer for many years, both during my time as an active-duty service member and after retiring following 24 years of military service. Throughout those years, Great Clips consistently honored my service with what they referred to as a “well-deserved” military discount.
During my visit today, I was informed that the discount now applies only to active-duty service members. I explained that for the past three years of my retirement, I had continued to receive the military discount, but I was told this was no longer applicable.
I appreciate the many years of quality haircuts and recognition of my service. Unfortunately, today’s experience will be my last visit with this company.

It was rude, unprofessional, arrogant.
No hygiene. The lady didn't even clean the hair post hair cut and when asked, she said this is how it is. She didn't use sanitized scissors and comb. Whole time she was rude, frustrated. Even though the name was visible in the checkin screen she say it is not on my screen , I can't do anything

I took my daughter for a haircut and the woman was less than pleasant to start. She didn't ask me what she wanted so I walked over to tell her. She sprayed mt child's hair and then did 2 snips and took her cape off. I was so flabbergasted I didn't know what to do. The ends are completely uneven.and terrible. I am livid. I am not going back to have them fix it because it will be shorter than she wants. There was barely even a hello or thank you. Terrible aervice
