So, took my 90 year old mom to Great Clips on Harbison Blvd Columbia, SC today for a little bit of pampering. Asked for a haircut (her hair is already short - so basically a trim) and to style it. They informed me that the haircut is $17.99 because she is a senior and the style is $65 on top of that. That doesn't even include a shampoo!! I then called corporate and they advised each franchise is individually owned and set their own prices and confirmed that those prices were accurate. I then had a friend call and ask how much a haircut and just a blow dry is and she was quoted the same price. That is seriously highway robbery!! The stylist, Amanda, asked the manager can I just blow dry it with a brush and the manager said, "absolutely not". What is wrong with people? It would have literally taken less than 5 minutes to dry her hair.

Olivia is a very talented and gifted stylist, I was in a bind and decided to go to great clips because my long time barber has taken a hiatus to raise her baby. I have been impressed with her and am thrilled she cuts my hair for a fraction of what I used to pay. She’s pretty good. I highly recommend.

I’m a fan of Great Clips at Harbison. It’s always a good experience. The manager (Lisa) and her team greets you the moment you walk in. And it’s always clean. That’s good management. I’m sure anyone there would give a good haircut. However my fav is Lexi. She cuts my hair and trims beard perfect. Every time! Lexi cares that I’m pleased. She’s even offered a few tips to maintain during visits. There’s no doubt each of her customers receive the same service. And you see this throughout the shop. It’s the only place I will go.
Mens, womens, kids and senior haircuts as well as bang, neck and beard trims. Other haircare services include shampoo, blow dry, or hair styling such as an updo. Select salons offer perm services.
