We had a fantastic experience at great clips on James Island! We were in town for a wedding and the wedding party was all getting ready and a much more expensive salon downtown, but as a mom of three, I wanted to find an affordable solution. The girls at great clips came to the rescue! My daughter had a stunning updo, I had a beautiful formal style and curl, and my boys got trims around the ears and neck - We looked fabulous! We showed up to the wedding photos with the best hair.
