I had a fantastic experience here. I walked in and was warmly welcomed, and the check-in process was quick and easy. Parnia was professional and approachable, did an amazing job with my haircut, and paid great attention to detail. She also recommended a spray gel product that I ended up purchasing and really like. Highly recommend asking for Parnia!

Stylist went way shorter than I asked. Even after confirming where I wanted her to cut, she went shorter.

KESHIA hooked me up!!! I’ve been looking for someone to give me a good cut after doing my own silk press and I am beyond satisfied with Keshia. She was very friendly, knowledgeable, and has lots of experience. My bob is perfect and my hair has soooo much volume!! She got rid of all my dead ends and my hair feels so much lighter now.

I had a very disappointing experience at Great Clips during my last visit.
My haircut request was extremely simple and straight forward. Side 5, short on top. Nothing fancy. After the haircut, the lady barber repeatedly demanded a tip in a very forceful and disrespectful way. She kept saying things like “I gave you a good look, before you looked different, you should tip me,” and asked for a tip 3–4 times during billing.
This was done in front of other customers, which felt insulting and unprofessional. At one point she even said, “If you want to give a tip, I can run your card again,” as if tipping was mandatory.
Because of this behavior, I decided not to tip at all and also decided that I will never visit Great Clips again.
I want to be clear: this is not my first visit. I have been a regular Great Clips customer for about a year and have visited multiple locations, but I have never experienced such behavior before. Tips should be optional and based on service, not forced through humiliation.
Very disappointed.
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.
