- DRDwaipayan Roy4 days ago1.0I have been a regular customer of this place for almost 5 years. Today, I showed up at 530 pm for a hair cut. Their website said they were open till 6 pm and I could still go in and put my name on the wait list to get a haircut. There were 2 stylists and one customer who was getting hair cut and one more was on the wait list. I was told that they won’t take any more customers for today because it would take them 30 minutes to offer the last customer a hair cut! That was a crazy explanation. I wonder if they would have offered the same explanation to a customer who didn’t look like me! I am sorry Great Clips - you’ve lost a loyal customer who tipped well.
- JEJR EisoldApr 30, 20265.0I’ve been going to Michelle at great clips for ~2 years now. Great person and stylist. Can’t recommend her enough.
- KLKimberly LeonardApr 26, 20262.0I came in back in January and met with a stylist named Chris. He listened to what I wanted since I was changing my style. He gave me the most beautiful cut. I came back in on 4/27 and requested my hair to by shaped back up and layers refreshed. Instead of getting the cut I requested, I got a chopped layered cut. This store really needs to get people that actually listen to the people that are requesting their service. If you can't cut the style requested they should not be cutting hair. This is not the first time I have been to this location with the same thing happening.
- KBkristina bestApr 19, 20265.0Great service, very friendly
- GKG L KirbyApr 16, 20265.0Wow, just had a great experience and haircut by Carla. Super easy to talk with and understood exactly what I was looking for. If she's still there when I need my next cut I will definitely be asking for her. Thanks Carla and Great Clips.
