i had asked for a 70s style shag haircut which is precise layering with layered tapering to the nape of neck and then layered out for a length with no bulk look. i asked the stylist if she knew what i was talking about - she said yes. i came away with a normal layered cut - not what i wanted. im pretty forgiving in that i used to be a licensed practicing stylist myself and know that hair grows back. gave the bulky layered cut a look overnight but realized i would be back in the shop in no time to pay for a recut. went in again, had a different stylist and explained much more concisely what i wanted..how it should look all said and done. she said a razor was the way to go and not having experience with razor styling i let her do it. before i knew she began grabbing hunks of hair and cutting them. no rhyme or reason and definitely not following any guide as to continuity to keep things even length wise. she had wet down my hair and it was hard to see the finish style. that night after looking in the mirror i realized it was the WORST HAIR CUT I HAD EVER GOTTEN...including when i was 6 and took scissors to my own hair. i had a hacked look - one side was so short the hair sat above the ear and it was obvious there was more and longer hair on one side of face all the way to the back. when i reappeared at the shop for third time in 5 days the stylist got very defensive and rude. she began, with scissors to pick up chunks of hair to snip off going from side to side. i stopped her and asked her how she could know where or what to cut on one side of head if she didnt follow a guideline starting at the other side. she said something and in a very quiet voice i told her " i had been here and done this". she said she didnt know how I WAS TAUGHT but that wasnt how she learned. then she turned to the other stylist and asked if SHE would like to take this cut on implying i was being difficult to deal with. totally not true - i didnt make a scene or rude comments or have a hissy fit. she was the one that made the scene. i didnt say another word and watched as best i could without my glasses. she had to cut quite a bit off one side all the way to the back to get the sides a similar length...leaving the hair cut way above my ears tho uneven as i didnt want the hacked look on both sides. my hair is wavy, forgiving and hides a lots of oops mistakes but she butchered my hair. the hair will need to be grown out and trimmed every few weeks to keep it looking presentable. the kicker was at the end she said she now saw what i meant and apologized for being "personal" this woman is not young and new to working with the public. i am going to call the shop manager and ask for several trims for the next six months or a full refund. and let the manager know that particular stylists way of handling customers long story short - it is an entry level shop and stay away. the 2 bucks saved is not worth it...

Men looking for a Haircut: Stop scrolling and read this review, because Im going to tell you everything you need to know. Great Clips will straight f--k your s--t up. Im serious. If you go, youll end up standing in front of the register, looking like you got a haircut at a POW camp, while they try to charge you $16 + tip. You can get a sh---y haircut almost anywhere. At least go where they wont overcharge you for it. Dont do it. Now this isnt a complaint over one haircut. Ive taken the trouble of getting sh---y haircuts from this Great Clips on multiple occasions. If my extensive peer-reviewed research has uncovered anything, its that you shouldnt do it. Just dont. Real-talk. This "hairstylist" made me look like a moldy bean. Last time I looked like when you come home and your cat f----d up your chia pet. The time before that, it looked like when your weed-eater gets jammed with yard clippings. Im sitting here typing this looking like a GD muppet right now. Dont do it. I swear on my life, these "hairstylists" have all conspired to keep me from getting some strange. Theres Amy or something, probably at least one Tammy, theres one chick named Chic apparently, an elderly androgynous... individual, and some guy who is also bad at cutting hair. I have received at least one haircut from every person who works here and they have all gone above and beyond the call of duty to f--k my s--t up. Dont do it. Im asking for some simple s--t. Fade on the sides, with 1/4 inch off the top. Tapered neckline, line it up and Im good. But apparently my directions translate to, "I just backed into your car in the parking lot. I dont have insurance. Also, Id like a haircut." I look like a Welshmans back half-way through a wax job. Dont do it. I get bumps on the back of my neck sometimes. Not big, or noticeable. Im human, but Im also squeaky clean. Im trying to tell you if you have anything less then a perfect scalp, every last one of these "hairstylist" is going to come at you like, "Geez guy, why is your scalp so f-----d up? I know youre too stupid to do anything about it, so let me recommend this overpriced shampoo s--t to make it easy for you." I say this because theyve said that to not only me, but to the guys on my left and right. B---- get your Paul Mitchell tea tree s--t up outta here. F--k Paul Mitchell. Dont do it. Look, if youre still going to go at this point, theres nothing more I can say. Youre going to look like Trump in a biplane. Great Clips, I hope your establishment burns down and you go out of business. Thats not a threat or anything. Im not trying to get in trouble. Just like, if it did burn down, I would bring a lawn chair.

Skip this location. I had a bad gut feeling when I walked in and that should have been the end of it. I figured why not give it shot anyway. I told the girl I just wanted it healthy and the bangs reshaped. Im pretty picky so I went into some detail. Girl starts chopping literally and my stomach sank. Cut my hair way shorter than I asked but hey it grows back. Bangs loomed alright and she was nice so I tipped her. Got home and broke down in tears. I have bangs than cant even be described in words theyre so messed up. I dont know how you managed to graduate but you should find a different line of work. I cant do anything with my hair until it all grows out and I hate having short hair. If I could rate this as zero stars youd still get negative ones. Just dont go here at all if you value how you look even an ounce.

I hate getting haircuts. Everything about it. At least the dentist gives me drugs. I hate the wait. I hate trying to describe what you want vs what the stylist pictures. The awkward interaction between you and the stranger who is running their fingers through your hair. And then trying not to hurt their feelings for not being psychic when the two pictures dont match. These guys beat ALL of that. I was on the chair in about 10 minutes. I pointed to 2 magazine pictures and asked for something "between that and THAT". She mad me feel comfortable (and Im SO not comfy with being touched). She was fast and she gave me EXACTLY what I wanted. Then she talked me out of a $20 product that I was about to buy because there was a $10 product that she thought would be better because of our conversation. Kudos!
