Great clips in Tumwater, WA is awesome. I have been having Jess cut my hair for about a year. I chose her after watching her cut someone else's hair. Jess is very precise and really listens to her clients. Always delightful and positive. Jess, you're the best!!

I went to Great Clips Ridgemont Plaza for a haircut. A woman named Joanne cut my hair. She did a great job and was very friendly and personable. I was comfortable in her chair. Thank you Joanne!

Same as everyone else. The coupon emailed to me did not work. Was told after the cut. I intend to file a complaint with the Attorney General in Florida. It's an online complaint which will take a few minutes. Every state AG has a complaint form you have file online. They are the ones to stop the bait and switch of Great Clips.

A couple of weeks ago, I went to get a haircut at my regular place, and they made me wait well past my appointment time, so I left and went to Great Clips. I got very lucky because I got right in, and the girl who cut my hair was very nice, and she did a great job, so I wanted to become one of her regular customers. This weekend I tried to make an appointment with her online, but I was shocked to find out that this company will not allow you to make any appointments with any specific stylists.
The only thing they'll let you do, is "check in" and they tell you what the wait time is, and then they'll let you know when to head to the salon to get your haircut. In their FAQ section, they say that they do not provide names or schedules for their stylists because of safety reasons, which makes literally zero sense. It says that they will keep notes of what kind of haircut you like and that any stylist can do basically the exact same thing.
Anybody who's ever had a haircut before knows that this is complete and total nonsense, as there is most definitely a difference between stylists which is why most people prefer to go to the same person all the time once they find somebody that they like. Like most people, I don't want to walk in and have a different stylist every single time I go to get my haircut, because I don't want a different haircut or even a different experience every single time I go in.
It's not just the differences in techniques and results either, but the personality, professionalism, and many other factors that go into selecting the person who you want to take care of you whenever you go to get a haircut. To try and pretend that everybody is exactly the same, and that everybody can provide the same experience and results, is complete and total nonsense, so to refuse to provide the opportunity to connect to one specific stylist is going to turn a lot of people off, and I'm sure it probably drives a lot of customers away.
Most people like to form habits so they can become comfortable with situations like these, so they know exactly who they're going to see and exactly how their experience is going to go. I don't want every single experience to be completely different, not knowing if I'm going to enjoy my experience or not, or if I'm going to be happy with the results or not. Because of this, I am going to be forced to find a different company to do business with, that will allow me to find a stylist that I like and to be able to schedule an appointment with them whenever they're available, so that I can have a consistent, predictable experience and result whenever I need a haircut.

My wife of 72 years old was talked into purchasing a hair growth agent and it did not work and when she took the bottle back, they would not reimburse her because she had used all the product. They do not stand behind their product like they said they would. I feel that is taking advantage of the elderly that need something like this product to help them out.

I visited Great Clips in Raleigh on Wycliff Rd in the Lake Boone shopping center. When I called to make the appointment, they seemed kind and welcoming. But when I showed up for the haircut, a complete change in attitude. The manager Rachel, was extremely unpleasant and unprofessional. Just rude. She had a bad attitude with me and the customer before me. She seems unhappy in her position and overall cranky. She did a terrible haircut. Whoever put her in charge should reconsider what a manager means. She doesn’t know how to cut hair. You are nothing to them except another 25% of $19. It’s appalling. I might even contact the state about it. If you are considering Great Clips for a haircut, surely there are better choices.

I had been a customer at the Great Clips near Wiles Road and 441 for quite some time. The address is 4340 N. State Road 7, Coral Springs, Florida, 33063. ** previously cut my hair, and ** has also assisted me. Both of them consistently represented Great Clips extremely well. They were polite, patient, calm, and professional. Because I have a cowlick, I need to give clear instructions whenever someone new cuts my hair. I am always respectful, and I regularly tip between $10 and $12 because I appreciate how hard stylists work.
On Thursday, July 30, 2026, at approximately 10:15 a.m., I checked in online and also went there to say hi and peek my head in and I saw I was third on the list. I briefly went next door for food and coffee and then returned when it was close to my turn. When I came back, I was assigned to **, whom I understand may be the manager. I tried to start the interaction pleasantly by mentioning that the shop had been busy earlier and that I previously sat in **'s chair. I received no greeting or friendly response.
** looked at my haircut information on the ticket she had in her hand and asked whether I wanted a certain amount taken off the top. There was a brief misunderstanding between one-quarter inch and one-half inch, so I used my fingers to demonstrate exactly how much I wanted removed. Her response to me, word for word, was, “We’re not playing this game today.”
I was shocked and asked, “Excuse me?” She repeated, “We’re not playing this game today.” When I asked what game she was referring to, she continued questioning whether I wanted one-quarter inch or one-half inch removed. I clarified the amount and even apologized for the confusion, but she again stated that they were not playing games. At that point, I calmly told her I would leave and find somewhere else to get my haircut. As I was walking out, I heard her say to **, “Oh, you were right about that guy.”
That final comment made it clear that I had apparently been discussed negatively before the interaction even began. I had previously received a haircut from **, gave detailed but respectful instructions, and left her a generous tip. I never raised my voice, used profanity, or treated anyone disrespectfully. Customers should be able to explain how they want their hair cut without being accused of “playing games,” especially when dealing with a new stylist. The disrespectful attitude, lack of basic customer service, and comment made as I was leaving were completely unacceptable. I am still surprised by how I was treated, particularly by someone who is reportedly in a management position. ** and ** showed what excellent customer service should look like. Unfortunately, this experience was the complete opposite, and I will also be contacting the owner,**, directly to discuss what happened.

Asked for 3 layer haircut I was told there was no such thing, which was also verified by another stylist. I stated I'm almost 65 and have never heard this. I was told they have been lying to me. I was a hairdresser and this is not true. Then I waited for a coupon in the mail and they were running same deal in salon, so coupon was not needed. Also stated I get another coupon at check out for $9.99. I asked what expiration date reply was I don't know. Well it's for 4 weeks later, maybe should at least be 6 weeks as that is the norm.

I went in a couple of weeks ago for just a trim. What I got was the 2nd worst haircut of my entire life. I went home to style it and noticed that it looked like a bob wig was sitting on top of my hair. I went back the next day to get it fixed and was told that, per the ticket, 3 inches were cut off. When Cheryl saw what was done to my hair she couldn't believe it. It was shelved (I think the word is) and uneven. She tried to fix without cutting too much more off however once I styled it, I noticed it now looked like a mullet. Once she was back in for an appointment, I went back. She tried to fix it but had to cut more off. I began crying. I spent 4 years growing out the worst haircut I've ever gotten, and now I'm back to day one.

I refused to give my phone number and was told to go somewhere else. I am 73 years old and been going to Great Clips for over 20 years and never had to give this info. I told the ass behind the counter this and he laughed and basically called me a liar cause this location has only been open for 5 years. I just moved to this area from Dallas. This was only the second time at this location. There were 6 hairdressers and no customers. You would think they would want some business. I can assure you that I will never go back to this location as long as this prick works there.

Great Clips Harvest Square Harvest Al. Sharon is the worst! I asked for a shoulder length cut. My hair was third down my back. Discussed and showed her a picture of what I wanted. Oh, yes I can do that. She paid no attention to what she was doing. Talked the whole time to her friend next to her about her son going to Japan and her husband trying to save for a trip to Paris. I tried to ask questions and was basically ignored. By the time she finished I had a very short and uneven (longer on right side) looks like a very rough Buster Brown cut but a lot worse. Supposed to be a shoulder length bob cut. Just short of a man's cut. She gave me very dirty hand mirror, spun me around, said here's the back. My hair is very wet, couldn't see anything. Asked her to dry my hair so I could see my layers. She gave me a nasty look, then dug her nails into my scalp when drying.
My hair is so short, uneven and embarrassing. So ashamed to go out. It was also supposed to be able to blow it out and go. She butchered me!! She has totally humiliated me. I'm so ashamed of the way I look!! There's no reason or excuse for her doing this. She is a very shameless, shallow and sorry individual. How could she do this to someone. She is not fit to be called a beautician or stylist. She deserves a zero not a one. She is not fit and should be fired!!

Quinn at Great Clips, Missouri City, is outstanding! She is confident, professional, and always takes the time to listen carefully to what I want. She is pleasant, personable, and makes every visit a positive experience. Most importantly, she consistently does an excellent job with my hair. I receive compliments every time after she cuts it. In fact, the compliments are so consistent that people have commented on my hair while standing behind me on an escalator, and colleagues at work often notice something different right away.
They'll spend a few moments trying to figure out what's changed before finally saying, "You cut your hair!" Quinn has a way of giving me a haircut that is polished, professional, and noticeable in all the right ways. Perhaps the biggest compliment of all is when my kids tell me they love my hair. They can be brutally honest, so when they notice and compliment a fresh cut, I know Quinn has done an exceptional job. It's clear that she takes pride in her work and genuinely cares about her clients. I highly recommend Quinn to anyone looking for a talented stylist and exceptional customer service. I hope Great Clips can keep her. Thank you, Quinn, for always helping me look and feel my best! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Checked in online at Great Clips, Lafayette Center 63011. Got there, was checked in and told, "I'm going to get something to drink and then I'll get you". She comes back, checks in someone else and without one word to me tells him he's next. I guess lying to your face is standard practice at this location. Will never go back and neither will anyone in my family.

Please, please communicate with your stylist exactly what you want for your haircut. Even if you show a picture, it will not be enough to help. Stylist should be asking detail questions too. I have a teenage boy crying over his haircut, again, that was cut too short. The stylist skills vary and not consistent. The staff are friendly but that is not a good enough reason to go back. We have learned this lesson the hard way, with heartache.

Even with a sheet stating how I desired my cut, then verbal instructions to leave sides halfway over my ears, the cutter destroyed the sides by cutting above the ear. Haven't had it cut that short since high school, that was 60 years ago! Extremely disappointed!!! Obviously, once cut off...I guess is 3 months it will grow back.

After my original Great Clips store was unable to cut a simple bob, I switched to another Great Clips in town. At first the service was good, but as older workers were replaced over the years with newer stylist, their method of cutting changed to a sight-based only cut with no clips to separate segments and insufficient wetting. This quicker method of cutting left straggly pieces and basically looked like a cheap haircut.

Great Clips at Depew should be named "WORST CLIP." The staff is rude, ill-mannered and impolite. Their customer service is pathetic, they didn't not provide us with hot towels when it was included in the service. The lady trimming my hair said, "I think you have been here before, I remember faces and not names, I remember your 4 year old son's SAD face!!" I showed her the picture of the haircut I wanted, which was a simple U-shaped cut, which she couldn't do. My 50 dollars got wasted.

I have been going to the Great Clips located in Winter Haven, Fl on Cypress Gardens Blvd. for almost a year now. Brittany is the stylist that has cut my hair each time, and she is absolutely the best. She is able to cut my bob hairdo to perfection. I greatly appreciate her. I don't mean any disrespect to the other stylist, it's just that Brittany listened to me and went with it. I ask for her each time I go there.

I have been a customer off and on for 20 years. Close to home. Have profile in system with self, brother, mom and aunt. My hair is straight and I only needed an inch cut all the way around. Maybe 10 minutes in the chair. I had an online $9.99 coupon and was told it wasn’t for that location. I sat down and frantically searched for a coupon that worked and every time was told it was either expired or not for that location. They never even offered to assist. They told me that I should have received coupon in mail which I did not. 10 minutes in chair, blunt cut cost me $20 including tip (I always tip even if service is sub par). I think that it is sad that a beard trim is half the cost that I paid. Unfortunately after Roman retired the service does not meet expectation. I will not be going back.

I'm in my 80s so you can imagine how many cuts I've had, some good, some bad, but mostly in the middle. However, a couple of days ago I made the BIG mistake of trying "Great Clips" on 13435 S McCall and I came out with the ABSOLUTE WORST butchering I have ever had. I figured I was in trouble when I saw the barber who looked sour and grouchy. The entire cut took less than 5 minutes and left me looking like a porcupine. I've been wearing a hat ever since. If you go here you'll wish you hadn't.

Today was the last visit; brought my 5yr old son to this establishment 6 or 7 times and was never greeted with a warm welcoming, despite the employees saying “welcome to Great Clips” as you walk through the door. And today we were ignored by the usual lady who cut my son’s hair and met with annoyance by another employee. She was rude and unkind demanding my son sit by himself & take his jacket off, not even knowing if he had any social/mental or physical impairments, and made it known she did not cater to children.
