5 stars for my stylist, Tabitha, 3 stars for Great Clips management.
Only having one stylist working on a Saturday is not only very poor management, it’s irresponsible. One stylist cannot & should not be responsible for all clients while also trying to fit in a lunch break. This is NOT the way to treat your employees or clients.
Do better Great Clips.

Asked for a burst fade....lady didn't know what that was. How do you cut hair now a days and not know what that is.... showed her a pic and she basically gave my son a shitty buzz cut. This the second time we have been back and we will never be back again. Do better.

Wonderful staff, always welcoming and warm to any customer whether it be appointment or walk-in. A couple of these newer reviews are from disgruntled former employees (well, one is an employee, the other is her boyfriend), and are not to be trusted.
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.
