- APAaron poughNov 4, 20255.0⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Stars I had a great experience at Great Clips on Hardscrabble Road in Columbia, SC! My barber, Octavia Chandler, did an excellent job on my haircut. She was professional, friendly, and took her time to make sure everything was clean and sharp. You can tell she really cares about her work and her customers — she listened to what I wanted and made it happen perfectly. The shop was clean, everyone was welcoming, and the atmosphere was comfortable. If you’re looking for a great cut and great service, I definitely recommend asking for Octavia. I’ll definitely be back!
