Great Clips

I went in today and had a haircut experience like I’ve never had before. I had water sprayed on my face, a comb run through my hair and into my ears as carelessly as possible, and my head pushed around so roughly that my neck is sore a few hours later. The girl’s name is Kenia, and she talked 100 miles an hour, dropped the comb on the floor, yelled about the store and definitely acted like someone who had done way too many drugs the night before. The topper is that the manager was standing right there, about 10 feet away as all this is going down. And says nothing. I wouldn’t even be writing this but I’m pretty ticked off that my neck which almost needed surgery 3 months ago is now sore for the first time in a while courtesy of this girl.

Very pleased with my experience here. The stylist Hwayeol did a fantastic job cutting my hair. She really listened to what I wanted and took the time to cut it the way I wanted. (And I have thick hair and it is not easy to cut.) Very pleasant and professional stylist.
Thank you Hwayeol!

feel comfortable in this shop. Thanks Great Clips.

I have a simple, short hair style. I was very wary of going here, but it was close and quick. I was very pleased with my haircut. I’m going here from now on.

these are obese hair cutters that only know how to cut one haircut no matter what you tell them. I explained to them beforehand that I wanted to leave it long in the back but they hacked the shit out of it and I left with a f&**king corporate cut. I risked going to the great clips on lamar the next time and got the same treatment. I even had to get out the scissors and correct where they F*(*ked up my hair!!!
I recently saw a coworker at work who had a harsh haircut and spoke with him about it and it was, in fact, great clips where he went and explained that his hair had been butchered (so I know it wasnt just me)
If you want a corporate cut for relatively inexpensive, go here. If you want any other kind of cut, avoid this joint and any other great clips places like the plague!!!
I’m sure they have people on the payroll to write good reviews, but look thru all the reviews to hopefully see the real story

Several problems with the place I scheduled on-​line but when I got there one stylist the other was off running errands and there were still three people ahead of me — Bad Management. I am sure the guy was on the clock so that is why there was such a backup at lunchtime on 5÷4÷15
The stylist came running in late to cut my hair — I should have just left, but I had already driven up there
WARNING — he coated my hair with oily water YUCK
So I have oiled hair all afternoon
They should warn the customers!!!
He kept complaining about the other cutter being partly bald and aren’t we lucky.
I won’t go back there again

I’m not a big fan of chains like Great Clips because I find they have a lot of turnover so you never know what you’re going to get. However, I found a stylist at a different Great Clips who I really liked, and who — unfortunately — moved on to another salon (no one will say where). So… I decided I’d try this location because it’s convenient. My first time in I told them what I wanted and one stylist was honest in saying that it wasn’t a style they were comfortable cutting. Another stylist said they could do it, and she did a great job (her name is Tracy). This visit is the only reason why this location is getting 2 stars from me.
My most recent visit was this evening. I walked in, Tracy was just leaving but she got me checked in and said the manager, Bambi, would be able to cut my hair how I wanted it. I was told upfront it was a 45 minute wait and I said that was ok. I waited 45 minutes and when I sat down and said what I wanted — wash, cut, and dry — I was told she wouldn’t have time to do more than finger dry because they were just too busy and they closed at nine. I said that was what I had asked for when I checked in but apparently Tracy didn’t put that on my ticket. Bambi, who I found out is the AREA MANAGER, was incredibly rude when she told me couldn’t provide me the services I had clearly asked for. It’s not the customer’s fault or problem if you’re busy, tired, or whatever other issue you may have. I left because in order for me to know if my hair is cut correctly it must be dried. I have left salons in the past without this last step, only to discover that my hair was cut incorrectly. I prefer my hair cut after a wash, not just wetting it down with some water. I don’t even have to have a reason for what I want, it’s what I asked for, it’s something they provide, and I should have received it. A good manager would have at least apologized or acted with some consideration, even offering to help me out another night. An AREA MANAGER would never let a customer leave a shop or deny service (unless of course a customer had done something clearly wrong, which was not the case). I’m really not that picky about my hair cut as long as it’s the style I request and not crooked. I don’t even mind if it’s a smidge too short because it grows out.
I have already contacted Great Clips at the corporate level but I have low hopes for any sort of apology. I tried to find out who was in charge of Bambi, only to be told the contact information for owners cannot be provided. Oh, and that was at another Great Clips — AFTER the employee went in the back and called someone (yes, I heard you on the phone). Guess Great Clips doesn’t like complaints.

The haircut was good. But later that day, the owner contacted me and asked me never to return. He said I made some of the staff uncomfortable. I don’t know what is meant by this. I checked in online. I came in, sat down, and waited my turn. The stylist called me, and I sat in her chair. Other stylists said hello, and I said hello back. I paid for my haircut with my Great Card, which was purchased at their location. Don’t know what I did. But ok, I know where I’m not wanted. I will encourage others to avoid this location.

Been here three times with three different stylists, and every single one gave me a cut I love. Today I saw Sara, and she trimmed my boxy shape to give me some layers. I went home with some gel, and now for the first time, I can wear my mixed texture curls without any pins or headbands. It’s awesome, and this cut I have is my new favorite.

My son and I got our hair cut by David. He is awesome, and he did a great job on each of us. I have been coming here for over 10 years, and David is by far the best.

So really had a bad day and needed to get my hair cut. I started out by looking around and saw on Unilocal great clips had a great score. So I went in. I saw another user comment some negative things about a particular stylist. Mind you I normally go to Ron King down town so I like to think I know good service. Well with that being sad. An older man with a well kept beard and ear rings greeted me and was very nice. The whole time he was talking and joking with me. It was as if I had known this guy for years. All in all was one of the best experiences getting my hair cut that i have had in a while.
Great Staff/​Great Look/​name is true Great Clips

So they ask for all of your information, and I think that is shady in itself. Old man with the teenage ear gauges just went through the motions. There was no hello, ever in the conversation. He did a shitty job in cutting my hair too. Meanwhile the other lady cutting hair is having a fun conversation with her client, and actually asking him about his hair. What a concept, Gauges Old Man! No i will not ever come back.

Great fast and friendly service. Just needed a trim and that’s exactly what I got! Ask for Cristina and you won’t be disappointed!

I read reviews on Unilocal and decided to give Great Clips a try. David (Far West location) did a great job of listening to what I wanted done and then making suggestions to improve the overall cut. I’ll definitely go back. Nancy

Ok place for a cheap haircut for my boys.

I am not one to usually got to great clips for a hair cut, but I was in dire need of a cut. So I took a chance this time, and glad that I did. My stylist Angela was great! She could tell by my hair style what size clippers to use and that I didn’t use them on the top. She also had the odd ball sizes to make it fade perfectly.
In the past when I’ve been to these place its a sit down, shave a go. She took the time to chat and paid great attention to what she did. Great job! I would recommend guys to go here.

I should premise this by saying my hair is hard to cut, and so many people screw it up, even if I spend much more, that half the time I cut it myself. However, I have gone to this place several times without complaint. This last time, though, I told the lady to take off 1 – 2 inches, and she took off about double. I said I wanted long layers, and she cut short layers. I have curly hair and demonstrated what was way too short for the layers. She cut them only slightly longer than that. In fairness, I don’t hate the cut, except when I first wake up in the morning and the layers stick up because they are not heavy enough, but I was completely ignored as far as my wishes for my haircut.

There are many great stylists in my family… I am not one of them, and often forget that…
I had been walking around with my hair in a ponytail for about a week, trying to hide the shame of my DIY «layers». Okay, okay, so I tried to cut bangs and did some other weird shit to it also.
I was in the shopping center when I saw Great Clips and impulsively (kind of like I wrecked my hair) decided to go in. The first thing I noticed was that there wasn’t hair everywhere, and that from the counter, you could see several cosmetology licenses at different stations. Always a plus.
I didn’t have to wait long, and the stylist that cut my hair was very nice. I essentially asked her to cut my hair from mid-​back to just below my jaw. It had to be.
The whole time, she made sure that I was okay with the length. She would tell me my options before doing anything, which I really, really appreciate. My hair can be a little unruly, especially at shorter lengths, so I like to have a little bit of a heads up before stylists go in there and just start snipping at it.
It came out shockingly well. Not only did she even it out (there was quite a bit of damage) but she gave me a cute little bob with some layers to give it movement. She also fixed whatever the hell I was trying to go for with my attempt at bangs. I’m adorable again.

An entirely decent place to get an inexpensive, fast haircut. My hair is rather uncomplicated and I don’t like or need any frills, so a place like Great Clips is really perfect for all of my hair care needs. What puts Great Clips above some of its competitors, in my mind at least, is that they offer an online check-​in. There is nothing more annoying than walking into the haircut place, only to find yourself in line behind 10 other people. With the online check-​in, you can see the wait at the store before you even leave and save your place in line. Because, let’s be honest, you can only thumb through month-​old issues of Newsweek so many times before the madness takes you.

I’ve been coming here for at least a year. Supercuts is right across the street. so why did I switch again? Shorter waits. Why do I keep going back?
They keep records of how to cut my hair.
11^th or 12^th haircut is free.
Shorter waits.
I take a book each time, but I never get any reading done. You’d think the liquor store next door would be some sort of inducement, but there’s not enough of a wait to shop.
I always seem to get the stylist who has to stop to answer the phone or check someone in, so if that kind of thing bothers you, you might prefer a place with a dedicated receptionist.
I remember coming in several months ago when the employees were chafing under new management: new processes, down to how to fold the cape and when to turn the chair forward in the sequence of ending an appointment. One was even upset about an unwelcome suggestion of further training from the new manager. Ha ha! Sounds like my job! I also enforce quality standards. There will always be employees who don’t get it, but they did nevertheless act as directed. The point is that there are quality standards, followed! (Under which employees may, if they wish, chafe. but there ARE standards.) Visible and effective quality control is just a good sign in general. Good job, manager, and hang in there, employees: usually the company won’t take the time to do anything without some business rationale, and those generally favor the success of the company, which in turn generally favors you. And failing all that, at least they’re organized.
