Last week, we had a small situation where a home haircut went bad...on a Sunday afternoon before my sons moving up ceremony. Thank goodness for Great Clips - first time customers. They were super kind on the phone when I called in a small panic. By the time we joined the wait list and drove over, he was next up for a cut. David (I think?!. Sunday June 14) made my son feel super comfortable, asked a ton of questions on what he liked and he quickly fixed his bowl cut to a self professed "best cut ever. We're definitely coming to see him every time".
Thank you for being open on a Sunday, making lemonade out of lemons and being so kind through out the whole process. Will be back!

Seems like they let anyone to be a barber at this place. Been customer for about 5 years and for past year or so I am having bad experience at that place. Got my haircut today, but seems like it would be the last one. A black girl was my barber today and when I told her how I want my hair cut done she looked at me like I said some gebrish, I kept on explaining how my head shape is and I want the cut according and she kept on arguing That is not how it should be and I left in a middle of haircut. Normally I leave 5 to 10 dollars tip but I only gave her 2 and she didn’t even deserve that

Every time I have come to this salon it is the same thing. Every single time I have gone here, I have had my hair completely ruined and basically experimented on like a mannequin for how bad they can make me look and today takes the cherry on top.
I have had so many bad experiences here such as when I showed them a refrence picture of the haircut I wanted but instead of getting that I got a buzzcut or just giving me a haircut that doesn't even resemble what I wanted...
Against my better judgement, I decided to give them ONE LAST CHANCE to hopefully make it right.
However.. It seems that I should have NEVER gave them a second chance..
I came in and asked for a specific hair cut because I had a graduation coming up and wanted to look good for it.
I showed her what I wanted with some pictures and what I got is basically nothing.. I got basically a light trim without an ounce of styling from the barber.
I left feeling so dissatisfied with my haircut that basically was the same of how I looked before going in.
I will never recommend this place ever to anyone and especially recommend seeing the barber named Taelor that some how misspelled my name.
