- PBParker007 Bond3 days ago5.0I did a walk-in and initially got a haircut from Sonya who did a fantastic job. So, I came back for another cut a few weeks later, but Sonya wasn’t working that night. I ended up getting a cut from Sheema instead, who also did just as phenomenal of a job as Sonya! So I felt obliged to leave a great review! Thank you Sonya and Sheema, you both did an excellent job and I will be coming here from now on! :)
- SBShelley BrownJan 4, 20262.0I took my little grandson in on 1/4/26 and was told by Lisa she couldn't do the style hair cut I was asking for so she asked Greg he said the same thing. This was NOT a difficult cut. Mrs. Shema said she would cut his hair after she was done with the customer in her chair and she did great. Another little boy came in after us and his mom was told the same thing they couldn't do his style of cut and they had to wait on Shema as well. Truth be told I don't think either Lisa or Greg wanted to cut kids hair. Lisa has a grumpy attitude acted like she didn't want to be there working as she was sitting at her station going through her purse with customers waiting VERY unprofessional. Shema was Very professional as she worked with us and other clients having to wait due to the lack of knowledge of Lisa and Greg on children cuts or just unwillingness of them cutting childrens hair!! I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because Shema.
- CMChristina MNov 20, 20251.0Asked for my bangs to be on my eyebrow. Straight across and then to frame the face. Didn't wet the bangs down or ask what my texture was like when dry. Just started hacking. Took about 6 inches off some of the layers I have up front. This was the worst haircut ive had. Would've been better off hacking my own hair with rusty scissors
- KKKielleNov 18, 20255.0I’ve been in a few locations is Norfolk/VA beach but Sheema from the Tidewater location has been the most efficient and her 27 years of hair-cutting shows. It was not busy at the time but nevertheless, I was very impressed and satisfied, and I might have found my regular location. Will surely come back!
- MAMissy Debbie AlbuquerqueOct 9, 20255.0⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars I had a great experience at Great Clips yesterday! The stylist who cut my hair was extremely professional and clearly very experienced. She took the time and care to make sure my haircut turned out perfect — and it really did! I could tell she put genuine effort into her work, and I truly appreciated that. Congratulations dear!
