- DEDavid EstillOct 12, 20252.0Good haircut but the stylist wasn't very friendly.
- RSRobert SchlachterSep 20, 20251.0Worst experience I’ve ever had at a great clips. Checked in online and then when I went in. The website said sit back and enjoy your haircut, and my name was no longer on the waitlist. Watched another 6 people go ahead of me before walking out. Went to a different location up the road and got great service.

- SMShelley MaldonadoAug 11, 20255.0Ivonne did an amazing job on my daughter's hair. Highly recommend her!
- ADAyla DavisonAug 10, 20251.0I bring my son here all of the time. I Always bring Star bucks with me. I wait an hour and walk in for my appointment, no hello, no welcome in. Just a stern “ma’am you cannot have the drink in here”. I get they are busy but when do rules change? Or when do we not put a simple hello first? I will no longer be coming here.
