- VSVin Sam1 day ago1.0Gave me a very noticeable crooked hair cut. I had to go home and fix it myself. Very inconsistent here. I won't ever come back here. You're warned.
- CGCab GreyDec 3, 20255.0Great energy from the stylists/staff! Everyone friendly and professional. Haircut _ I'm rather easy to please, my stylist was great. Hindsight: I have to remember to check better before I ok and bounce. Because I believe all can be solved before we leave. So anything I'm not 100 happy with is on me. I do wish I would've checked my fade I little closer before leaving. 😆 My bad. All is well and I'm grateful. I'll definitely be back.
- JHJohn HaywoodOct 25, 20255.0Love getting my haircut from great clips. Good cosmetologists and skilled. They cut your hair quickly but with quality. Never had an issue with them, ever. Family has lived in the area for years and we have never had an issue with them. It makes 100% sense they are still in business.
- OAOscar ArchagaOct 16, 20255.0I had an awesome experience at Great Clips thanks to Tyson! He really took his time to make sure my haircut came out exactly how I wanted it. He’s professional, friendly, and clearly knows what he’s doing. You can tell he takes pride in his work — the fade was clean, the lines were sharp, and the overall look was perfect. I left feeling confident and fresh. Definitely recommend asking for Tyson if you want a great cut and great service!
- DJDave JOct 8, 20255.0Tyson giving some clean cuts and that old school barber feel! Highly reccomend!
