- ZPZJ PenaNov 11, 20252.0My husband is a veteran. He used to have haircut at this Great Clips location. It was ok (keep expectations at bay given the price). However, today we walked in in early afternoon and walked out soon after. Wanted haircut for my husband and toddler son. The asian decent man talking to us was just rude. Noone else seemed to notice our presence at all. No “hello” or anything of that sort from anyone. The one person who noticed us was sweeping the floor. His facial expression was like, - why did you come in here at all. He then asked if we registered online, which we denied. He proceeded with what he was doing. We waited a bit. He kept looking back at us almost like waiting for us to leave. As we did not, he finished sweeping and came to the front desk. Asked again if we registered online, which we denied again. He proceeded asking who wanted the haircut and requested (!) a phone number. To which, my husband said he doesn’t want to provide that. The whole interaction was so bizarre and unwelcoming, that we just turned around and walked out. Price is low, but there still should be some customer service. Unhappy veteran on the Veterans’ Day.
- PPPaul PopaNov 9, 20255.0Thanh did an amazing job with my haircut! Asked for a medium fade with some room at the top and he worked like an artisan cutting my hair. Fast, friendly and can’t wait to come back!
- VJV JNov 2, 20255.0I was hesitant to get my haircut here because I have wavy hair and I have had bad haircuts at even expensive salons in the past, but Stella gave me a great haircut!
- RHRob HoeyNov 1, 20255.0I’ve been getting my hair cut by Kevin for a while now, and he’s hands down the most consistent and detail-oriented barber I’ve had. He actually listens to what you want, remembers how you like it, and makes sure it’s perfect every time. You can tell he takes real pride in his work — quick, friendly, and always professional. On top of that, Kevin’s just a great guy — easy to talk to, and always in a good mood, which makes the whole experience even better. If you go to Great Clips, do yourself a favor and ask for Kevin. You’ll walk out looking (and feeling) sharp every time.
- LALaerti ÇakoOct 28, 20253.0They do good on cutting hair but they leave my hair without wash and still hair particles in my shoulders they should at least blow it or take it away. I been there couple times they should at least know how to cut buzz haircut rather than be based off numbers and pictures in wall I show them picture they can do the same.
