- C2Cyber Shadow #263Oct 20, 20251.0To the old man that cut my hair, I have had multiple thoughts of commiting every time I look in the mirror, you are the at the top of my list of why I should jump. I hope you know it was all your fault. My family kicked me to the curb and my job fired me. My wife took the kids, I have nothing left. Thank you (ps: I asked for a fade and got half an inch of a fade on one side and nothing the other, also I can see every guideline he made for the fade only for him to never reach them)
- TATerrence AlmOct 13, 20255.0Shayna is the absolute best! Been going to her for 2 years or so now & she is the best to go to for a good men’s fade. She gets me right every time & has impeccable customer service. Very attentive, polite & makes the experience super fun!🤩
- RSronnie skaggsOct 11, 20255.0Took my grandson for a haircut on a Saturday. Although they were super busy, they were super nice and Nic did a fabulous job on the haircut. She talked to him the whole time and made him laugh, and he ended up with a wonderful haircut. Thank you Nic! 10 out of 10 would recommend.
- SOScott OleskySep 26, 20255.0Fast and friendly service, they did a good job.
- PLPapa LilburnSep 19, 20255.0I drive approximately 35 miles to have my hair cut by "Shana." She is absolutely the best I've found at Great Clips so far!
