I recently visited the Great Clips in Mount Vernon, WA and had a great experience. I booked online ahead of time, walked in, and didn’t have to wait at all—super smooth and efficient. They have a coupon that knocked a couple bucks off the price, which let me give a little extra tip to my stylist.
The stylist who cut my hair was friendly, personable, and amply skilled. She checked in a few times to make sure everything was good as she went and explained that they keep detailed notes on each haircut so they can get it right every time. I really appreciated that level of care and attention to detail.
I also noticed another stylist working with a little kid who kept nodding off during the cut. She was incredibly patient and genuine—no fake cheer, just real and kind. It was nice to see that kind of warmth in the salon. Overall, the place had a really good, positive vibe.
Love the online booking, the quick service, the haircut notes, the one-week guarantee for any fixes (they bump you to the top of the list), and the coupons that help make it even more affordable. I’ll definitely be back—4 stars!

I often go here as I usually have pretty fast growing hair lol. They always treat me so nicely and are always so efficient. I’m starting to end up with the same stylist, but that’s totally fine. She’s so sweet and kind to me. (Definitely don’t have a crush on her lol) anyways, quick service, good folk. I always go here ☺️
