- ELEduardo L5 days ago5.0Jasmin is a life saver, she was able to get my look back to the professional style I'm used to. This location will be my go to from now on, it's worth the drive.
- KFKenny FloresDec 31, 20251.0Specifically told the hairstylist not to touch the sides and back of my hair as im trying to grow it out. She proceeds to do exactly that. I cant believe my eyes. Its NYE and now i have to go out looking dumb.
- SNSamantha NoriegaNov 29, 20251.0Just left. The lady said she couldn’t do a wash, cut, or a blow dry/curl. Why offer those services then or why not offer to have someone else do the services? Both women acted like I was asking for something crazy when all three services are offered on the website. Photo for what I was asking for.
- RSRaul SaldanaSep 26, 20255.0Gaby is hands down the best!!!! Only reason why I go back awesome at her job and always a smile and very happy greeting.
- KCkevin chaneySep 22, 20253.0Mid cuts the last few times I’ve gone. It’s extremely important to note that Great Clips is always a gamble unless you manage to stick with a good barber, and so far I haven’t found one here. What I have found are the ones I definitely don’t want again. It’s frustrating to spend both time and money only to walk away with a haircut that I either need to fix myself or wait weeks to grow out. Even worse, I often find myself having to coach a licensed professional step by step on how to cut my hair, which shouldn’t be the case. Consistency and skill matter a lot in something as personal as a haircut, and unfortunately I haven’t had that experience here. Until the quality improves or I can find a reliable barber within the shop, I’ll probably be looking elsewhere.
