I usually get a decent haircut at a decent price but I find the check-in policy ridiculous. Once again, I sat outside the store for 15 minutes waiting in my car and at the last second five other people ran up to the door and then by the time I get in, there's a 30 minute wait even though I already waited 15 minutes, and for some reason, the online check-in opens 5 minutes AFTER the store opens. It really seems it should open 10 minutes before the store, or that there should be a ticket number you can grab ahead or something. It's a very frustrating system, but the rest of the day it works fine... It's only poorly set up for the first appointments of the day.

The prices keep going up! It seems like every couple of months, the prices have risen. It's ridiculous. Service is alright, but I'll have to take out a loan, if the prices don't stop climbing! Just for a haircut!

I usually go to great clips in Lake Hallie but I decided to go to the one on mall drive because it is closer to my house. I have never had a bad experience until I went to this one. I told her I wanted long bangs that started at my cheek and go down from there. She proceeded to cut my bangs at a half and inch and go down from there. I also told her I wanted my hair straight edged layered. She proceeded to not do that either and my layers ended up being super choppy. It was an all around horrible experience. Especially now my hair looks like crap because my bangs want to curl and are so short I can't do anything with them beside Bobby pin them up, wear a headband, or wear a hat. Wont be going back to that one. I have had people who are in school do a better job.
