- O5Oddity 5D6 days ago1.0The worst haircut I have ever received at a Great Clips. The haircutter did not listen to me at all and hacked away. I did not ask for a military cut but received one. She obviously was trained near the military bases. I do not believe I will ever trust to come back again. First time and last time at this location.
- SMSteven McneilDec 12, 20255.0Most beautiful girl I ever had my hair cut by. Not only did she make me feel good and look good with my new doo her smile brightened my day.

- JSJorden StewartOct 3, 20251.0I don't like doing this but I don't want someone's hair to get messed up, there is two good stylists, the test can't understand english
- MNmary nellisOct 2, 20251.0I made an appointment on line and they told me that I had to wait because the one girl that was going to cut my hair was not there yet so I waited for 45 minutes never showed up and I was ignored by the other stylists. So left and never coming back!! They could have told me she was running late or not coming at all and taking me. 😡
