Great Clips

I got a great haircut here. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because this location, unlike other great clips locations, does not offer military discounts unless it is Veterans Day. So, if you’re a veteran like me, I would recommend another location.

Ok so we walked in there and there were only guys getting their hair cut and we were suspicious that maybe they didn’t do women’s hair very well. But Jeffrey did a great job on trimming my split ends and then blowing out my hair. He didn’t seem like he knew what he was doing for a while (for example, he had to stop after a minute or two of the round brush and go find some clips to pin the rest of my hair away from the part he was drying, duh) but the end result was fabulous… Everyone at the wedding complemented my hair. (Also I now realize that when you walk into a salon that caters to women and you say you want a half inch taken off, they take two inches… But when you walk into a salon that cuts guys’ hair and you say you want a half inch off, they take a half inch off. Nice!). And the woman that I was with had a great cut from one of the women. Lesson? They do women’s hair!

Terrible customer service. Won’t honor refund policy and manager was very rude. Disappointing experience and will not be returning. AVOID !

I was visiting Minneapolis for a conference and needed a haircut, so I searched Unilocal and went over to Fair Clips. I was fortunate to get Nina, whom other Unilocalers had recommended.
I wanted a slight change of style and showed her a photograph. Nina did a really great job giving me a haircut like the one in the picture, and happily made some adjustments that I requested. I’d definitely see her again if I’m visiting Minneapolis.

One day at work I realized that my hair was getting pretty long and it just needed a quick trim. I was able to walk to this location via the skyway and after only a 20 minute wait was able to get my hair cut and, even layered. Carrie cut my hair and she was very nice. Great Clips is not only cheap, but this location is close to Target, so if you find there is a little bit of a wait you can add your name to the list for a cut, then head over to Target to browse while you’re waiting.

Normally I avoid writing reviews for corporate shops since they tend to give you a similar experience in all of their outlets. However, this Great Clips is better than the ones I have visited in other areas. Here’s why:
The price: before I started going to this specific GC, I was spending $ 40 at a higher end salon but not getting the results I was looking for, especially for the price I was paying. Here the price is $ 16 for a haircut (if you save your receipt you can get $ 2 bucks off your next hair cut, this coupon lasts for a month so it works well for guys) I use the money I save to help increase the tip for my hair stylist. This in turn has gotten me better service and allowed me to build a good relationship with each stylist.
The stylists: I stick to two of the stylists that work here, Carrie and Nina. Both of them have done a very good job at giving me a good looking and consistent cut. They are skilled at shaping and adding texture to Asian hair, this talent is not something you find very often. After cutting my hair a handful of times they know what I am looking for and always deliver the desired result.
Update: I don’t think Nina is there anymore, when Carrie was not around I had Sophie cut my hair and she was very good at handling Asian hair as well.
The location: this GC is located conveniently downtown next to Target in the second level skyway. It’s easy to pop in for a haircut and then go about my shopping, or go shopping while I am waiting for my stylist. When I have visited this location, the wait is always under 20 minutes, generally 10 to 15. You can also check in online if you want to save time.

I don’t get my haircut often (either growing it out or buzzing it on my own), but when I am after a higher maintenance hairstyle than wake-​up-​and-​throw-​a-​hat-​on I head here. The hair dressers are skilled (especially for the price) and they don’t take themselves too seriously. There has never been a lot of awkward silence as can happen with haircuts, but that’s not because they talk your ear off about stuff you really don’t care about. They are just good people giving good haircuts at a great location for us downtown folks.

I decided to give this place a try after scheduling an appointment at Juut and being told my haircut was going to cost $ 60. I am a guy with short hair — there is no reason my hair should be that expensive to cut. I went to Great Clips, put my name on the list and was called within a few minutes. The girl who cut my hair was friendly, thorough and did a great job — I was in and out in about thirty minutes. Oh — and the cost was somewhere around $ 15-​$ 16. You got my two thumbs up!

I recently moved to Minneapolis and had to find someone new to cut my hair. 5 years of haircuts from the same lady (Kieue rules!) made me apprehensive about finding a new place.
What can I say? Dude cut my hair, and did a good job. The price was right too ($ 15) and the location is walking distance to my place. I’ll be going back to him again and again as long as I’m in MN and I have hairs to cut.

I stopped in at 5PM and about 30 minutes later stepped out with a great haircut at a fair price. The stylist asked me how I wanted my hair cut, and recorded my preferences so that next time they will know what I like. A friendly atmosphere prevailed throughout. This place is probably the best haircut deal downtown.

I am one low maintenance chick when it comes to my hair. I’ve only ever set foot in a high end salon once in my life, and that was for my wedding. I’ve visited more Cost Cutters (they all suck) and Great Clips locations than I can count. But now, my friends, I feel like I’ve come home.
This location, conveniently right next door to the downtown Target, has the friendliest stylists I’ve ever had the pleasure to deal with. They all rock. Every single one of them.
Bonus points to this place for not judging me when I ask for a fauxhawk. Yes, I know, tres 2005. Bite me. It’s cute.
