- LDLaura DayNov 6, 20255.0My hairdresser was very nice and we had great conversations. I checked in and I only waited 20 minutes. They also had donation bin for snap benefits.
- CTChicott Table TennisSep 26, 20252.0It was a disaster. I was very clear: "Please, just cut the very edges no more than 1/8 of inch" but, the woman was cutting half inch or more....I was so angry and told her to stop and I left. The worst experience ever.
- VRVenkat RaoJul 14, 20251.0Gross experience. Hygiene? Never heard of it. I came to Great Clips for a quick haircut, not a bonus layer of someone else’s hair. Right before me, an elderly man with white hair had his cut. When it was my turn, the barber just grabbed the same trimmer—no cleaning just straight to work—and surprise! Now I had white hair all over my apron like a snowstorm had hit. I even joked about it, thinking maybe he'd clean it or at least acknowledge it. But nope—guess hair from the last customer is part of the package deal now. Honestly, I felt really gross the whole time. If basic hygiene is optional here, maybe I'll start carrying my own vacuum next time. Very disappointed.
- TMTia MJun 20, 20251.0The lady with the glasses did a “good job” at first glance but when I got home and took pictures of the back at different angles, COMPLETELY uneven. I brought my hair to the front and there were pieces 3 inches longer than the rest as well because she never cut it from the front after like most would. I had to spend 15 minutes fixing it which is longer than the actual haircut took because she rushed it. She was nice but obviously prioritized talking over cutting hair evenly.
- JKJesse KubeJan 4, 20251.0Their online waitlist is ridiculous and they will take someone that has been in their list but not present for hours back before you five minutes after they walk in.
