Extremely disappointed in their service. Apparently they use "baby hands" while doing people's hair.. very strange. Also disappointed in the hair cut that was nothing like what my husband asked for. Won't be back.

I always have a great experience with Jacob at Great Clips. Not only does he do a fantastic job with my hair every time, but his customer service skills are truly top-notch. I actually drive past several other Great Clips locations just to come see Jacob because of the way he takes care of his customers. He’s professional, friendly, and consistently delivers excellent service. I highly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for both a great haircut and an outstanding customer experience!
