- SGSteven GalewskiDec 19, 20251.0I checked in this morning with myself+2 (3 hair cuts my wife and grandson). When Amanda went to check in my +2 she had issues, Which kicked my +2 to the bottom of the wait list. Amanda then proceeded to tell me that my+2 will have to wait until their names come up on the new order of the wait list. I told her that was unacceptable and she needs to explain to the customers that jumped in front of my +2 will have to wait as there was a computer error (or operator error). She rolled her eyes and chuckled. The other stylest proceeded to cut my hair. In the meantime, Amanda was cleaning up her area complaining about how is she supposed to get a lunch in with being so busy and the other stylest leaving at 2pm. After cleaning up her area, Amanda walked out of the room and didn't return for at least 15 min. When she returned (my hair cut was done) Amanda called for my grandson and my wife said no, we've been waiting long enough. No apologies, no trying to fix things, just pure attitude. We will not be back.
- SSSuzanneNov 21, 20255.0I love this Great Clips location because of Mandy. She always does an absolutely perfect job, & is always thoughtful about making sure to not cut too much off right away. She's a really gifted hairstylist, and is very knowledgeable about the hair products that can be helpful. I'm so happy with the new shorter hairstyle that she was able to give me on the 19th, & hope that she stays at this location, because it's really difficult to find truly gifted hairstylists these days.
- RBRussell BuchholzSep 25, 20253.0The service was great and the haircut is great however I will never come here again and this is the reason why. I walked in told the stylist Alyssa that I had a coupon but I was confused as to why it said that I could only use it at Chicago land locations seeing as I don't live in Chicago and I've never done any business down in Chicago she said don't worry about it and proceeded to cut my hair ,when I was paying she said I couldn't use the coupon because it was from Chicago after I had already told her that when I checked in. So she proceeded to charge me full price. I don't appreciate being lied to and it's sad because I really like this place
- SVShawn VAug 20, 20255.0Stopped by Great Clips in South Milwaukee as my regular location was closed for remodeling. Maria did an excellent job and I’d go there again if it wasn’t a twelve minute further drive!
- LMLori MillenAug 14, 20255.0Been getting my hair cut at this location for about 25 years. At least 2 long time cutters that have cut my hair on many occasions it is always spot on and makes me feel 100% when I am done!
