Went in to get a haircut but happy with the outcome. Usually it's good but not this time. My hair looks like crap in one side. Not sure I will be back to this location.

Since moving back to Columbia a couple years ago, I've been to multiple places to get my hair cut. I soon discovered the Great Clips in Murray Landing. Everyone there is so nice and does a great job. Whenever I can, I get Renee to cut my hair. She always gets it right and is also wonderful in how she is able to read people. Sometimes you go in and want to have a conversation with the person cutting your hair, and sometimes you just want to sit there quietly. Renee has an innate ability to read people, and is engaging in conversation when it is wanted but doesn't go overboard when it's not. Great place, great people...

ALL WOMEN: DO NOT GO TO GREAT CLIPS ON NORTH LAKE BLVD in IRMO, SC! If I could give this place -0- stars, I would! Let me explain. Last week on my birthday, I wanted to treat myself to a shampoo and blowout! The stylist at the establishment I normally go to was fully booked that day so I found a Great Clips close to my house. I checked in online and had to answer some questions as a first-time customer before I was called back. When the stylist asked what I wanted, I told her! The stylist explained a shampoo and styling would cost $85. I have NEVER paid $85 for a shampoo and blowout! Anyway, as I was choking on her response, she followed with, “I’ll have to charge an extra $10 for your long hair.”!! I was dumbfounded! I should have simply walked out! Instead, like an idiot, I agreed to pay the outrageous $95 plus an extra $10 tip for what normally costs me $25. But I did it because I was expecting guests at my house and wouldn’t have had time to wash and style my own hair. When she asked me how I wanted my hair styled, I showed her a picture of myself and told her I wanted my hair styled like in the picture! And even though I explained to her how I wanted my hair styled with no part, she styled it (barely) with a very obvious middle part! What really bothered me was when it was time for the stylist to dry my hair, the stylist realized she did not have her own round styling brush. She had to ask among her coworkers until she found one! Seriously? A hair salon that charges $95 for a shampoo and blowout for long hair doesn’t have the correct tools to perform the services it offers? The stylist explained the Great Clips store stopped doing blowouts, styling, color, etc., after COVID in 2020. Since they just recently resumed styling, stylists weren’t prepared with the correct tools! If anybody who reads this review knows how I can get in touch of the owner of the Great Clips on North Lake Drive (in the Publix shopping center), please let me know! I would like to write the owner a letter inquiring why on earth he would charge $95 to wash and condition someone’s hair and then style it? My appointment barely took 20 minutes and the result was extremely disappointing! The style fell apart by the late afternoon. I could have done the same or better job on my hair!
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.
