    She cut my son’s neck with the clippers, a couple straight lines at the back of his neck and one on the right side of his neck. She never mentioned the accident to us, and she left his hair uneven all over, as if the other stuff wasn’t bad enough. We have played absolute heck getting that boy to even get haircuts, he was always afraid they’d cut him. For this reason, he sits as still as he possibly can to avoid being cut. And now someone has; not a stay at home mom who can trim her kid’s hair, but someone who should be professional and knows what she’s doing. When my husband told her what our son wanted she had absolutely no clue what he was talking about, even though it’s a simple style. So not only does she have no clue what she’s doing, she’s negligent.

    My mother was a hair dresser for years and years, and I can be honest and say that cuts and scrapes truly happen every now and then. That being said, the stylist should have the care and courtesy to come tell us what happened and discuss how to make it right again. After all, the salon is liable for such things. But, no, she passed it off like nothing happened. And, to top it all off, when I asked my son why he didn’t say anything to her about being in pain, he said he was scared to tell her. My son is NEVER scared to speak up for himself, so something about her made him afraid to do so. This stylist has absolutely no business being in a salon. This is unacceptable.

    Great Clips does not honor their advertising. In addition the stylist at the Great Clips on Taylor Rd in Chesapeake, VA are adversarial and demeaning towards customers. Definitely not the way to treat customers. SAD VERY SAD.

    I got a haircut at Lafayette Marketplace, it will be 2 weeks this Friday. I have to wash my hair before I can tell what it looks like. I wanted it layered, the sides weren’t layered and they weren’t, the back was layered on one side but not the other. I called 3 times and in their defense, they tried to call back, but I later discovered my ringer was off and the 3rd time, they were closed. I left messages, but the third time they were closed.

    Oh I been going to this place for years now but after someone I haven't seen before starts getting smart because I had a mask on saying, "Why you wearing a mask? Afraid of getting sick?" Then a smart awwww after but that's not the main reason I'm on here. The main reason I'm on here reviewing is because somebody there buzz cut spots on the back of my head near my neck. Only reason I noticed is because some random person seen it and started lol at it.

    They singleHandly ruin my hair every time I go to Great clips. I honestly hate this place so much and I do not recommend anyone to go here as how terrible and how much the staff suck and are completely untrained for requests. They cut my ear and I asked for a short cut when I had amazing long curly hair, but they cut ALL of my hair and made me bald. 1/10.

    Completely didn’t listen to what I wanted for my haircut and the person cutting my hair was aggressive with the trimmers pressing them into my skin causing red irritation and burning on my back of my neck. I asked for my bangs to be about a quarter inch longer than my eye brows and they cut it about half an inch shorter so now I got this doofy cut with Pom Pom bangs that poof… also when using a guard for the trimmer for the side of my head my ear got in between the prongs and cut it a little. In the end it felt like they wanted to give me a hair cut they wanted and not what I wanted, the back of my head I wanted kept long for a mullet and the cut it short almost jaw level when it was to my shoulders before…

    Worst haircut I’ve ever had. Melissa talked me into getting it styled and I had to redo when I got home. So not worth the extra $20! Dusty did my haircut two months ago and it was perfect. Inconsistent.

    Been going to Great Clips on Woodman Drive for 5 years. Made an appointment week of Aug 11th. Show up for the cut. Was never approached to check me in. The stylist cut 4 people hair out of order and still hadn't check me in. Another lady who were sign up but not check in. After 30 minutes, I left and they added me as a no show. Talk to district manager by email and they turn it around to make it my fault. Never again will I go here for any services. Especially with the manager and district manager both are horrible. Found the one on Far Hills Avenue is just as close, but much nicer.

    Because it's close, I went there for three years. I put off hair cuts as long as I could. The man there always gives me a single white wall after I've said no whitewall. As well my hair always smells like cigarette smoke. Not worth a fourth of the cost.

    I got my cut from Donna ** today. She's just the best. She has been cutting my hair on and off for ten years. I don't usually get to the area but if/when she's available, I always ask for her. She not only "listens" but she's quite good at cutting, styling and understanding what I actually want vs what I need. She's fun, funny and I think she's awesome!

    I visited Great Clips in New Milford CT in summer 2024 and asked for a trim. I HAD very curly hair and my regular hair dresser was not available, but since it was just a trim I thought it would be fine. The patron I saw was a very young, tiny blonde. As I sat in the chair she turned it away from me seeing in the mirror, which isn't always common. When she was finished cutting my hair she turned the chair back and I was so taken back by what I saw, I was speechless. She didn't give me a trim, she styled it as a mullet, and damaged my curl pattern so badly that I'm still trying to get it back, which my hairdresser assured me will happen but not for a while. It is now summer 2025 and it's just starting to wave so I have hope. I'm a 73 year old woman with short flat hair instead of all my natural curls.

    Mary **. Michelle styled my hair before and did such a good job that I waited for her last Saturday. This time when I showed her this picture of how I want my hair I ended up looking like this. When I got home and took a good look at it I realized how disappointing it is. My hair was long enough for this cut so now I have to wait before I go to a really good hairdresser.

    Today I went to the Great Clips on Walnut in New Braunfels, TX with my Mom as I normally do. My stylist was Rocio and while her English was broken and I was worried there might be a communication problem, she had her name written on the mirror, which I thought was helpful. She spent a significant amount of time making sure she was giving me the cut I wanted and making sure I was content with the style. She handed me the hand mirror multiple times to have me check it, and I must say it’s been my favorite cut so far!

    On Monday, 07/14/2025 at 10:14am, I got a hair cut at Great Clips on New Garden in Greensboro, NC. It was, without a doubt, the worst hair cut I have ever had in my entire life. My hair was cut about an one and a half inches all over. I looked like a cartoon character. I am ashamed to even go to the grocery store with my hair like that.

    I have long hair and I frequently have my hair washed at a salon. Today I stopped by Great Clips at Hudson Corners. It was the worst service I’ve ever had. She did not even scrub my scalp and had the audacity to tell me that she did. She was very rude and did not completely calm out my hair when she was finished. I am so disappointed and appalled at the poor service and the lack of professionalism of this girl that was masquerading as a cosmetologist.

    I just stopped at The Canfield Great Clips. I got there 15 minutes early as usual and got in line. I was 3rd in line. I registered my phone number as you must do because you can't book online at that time. After the first 2 people were finished my name was #1 on the list. Both staff members selected the next 2 people and passed over me. Why do you have this system if you are not going to follow the procedures on this system. My money is as good as anyone else. I have been going there for many years and the service gets worse each time. If you don't like your job change your profession. But if you do then you can at least do it right and try to be courteous and profession, just continue to be mediocre at your job and this is the result you will get a failing business over time because of low level employees not doing their job with no accountability.

    I work many 7 days a week as I'm sure many people do and people have to get to work so I consider this very unprofessional and inconsiderate that they did this to me and I am sure there are more people that experience this at this location. I will NEVER step foot in this location or any Great Clips EVER again. Ownership I doubt will read this or even care I am sure and neither will corporate. Nonetheless they lost me as a customer I guess that is what they are in the business of doing losing hard working loyal customers.

    Today we went to Coventry Commons for haircuts. Staff was short handed and stressed. Our wait time said 49 minutes. So we went to the Pet Supplies next door. We were probably there 15 minutes tops. When we got back the stylist India was enraged. We were skipped over. I apologized and said the wait was 49 minutes. She got loud on my husband and said oh you know how this goes. So she cut my hair and was very short with my brother in-law who is handicapped. My husband refused to get his haircut. India said the computers were wrong. Did I know that? No I don't work there. So we won't ever darken your doorstep ever again. I hope things get better for your staff.

    Just got a haircut from this location and I’m honestly shocked at how disrespectful the stylist was. I came in with a smile, I just wanted a basic cut, and from the second I walked in, the energy was off. The woman cutting my hair (Didn’t catch her name) had an attitude for no reason. She asked when I last came in, I said “about a month ago.” She checks the system and immediately goes, “It says a month and a half ago. You said one month,” in this condescending tone like she caught me lying. Like… really? Who cares? Then she asks if I want to trim the beard, and I misheard her because her accent was thick — and instead of calmly repeating herself, she snaps, “NO, that’s not what I said!” Like I’m bothering her by existing. At this point I’m sitting there thinking, what did I do to this lady?

    Then when I politely ask if she can cut the sides shorter, she gets defensive again and hits me with the, “I asked you in the beginning what you wanted and you said you wanted your cut like last time.” I was stunned. I even asked her, “Is that a problem?” She just coldly says “no” and keeps cutting like she was forced to be there.

    The whole time, her attitude was just nasty. I promise you, I was not being a Karen, this was completely unnecessary, IDK what I did to this woman. Very snarky and obnoxious. Not one smile. No sense of professionalism. Just cold, rude, and irritated by everything. And the worst part? The haircut was AWFUL. Uneven, rushed, and not at all what I asked for. I didn’t even bother asking her to fix it. I just wanted to get out of the chair and leave. If this is the kind of experience you get here, I’ll never be back. Great Clips seriously needs to screen who they’re hiring. There’s no reason for a paying customer to be treated like an inconvenience. Absolutely unacceptable. Honestly, I want my money back.

    This review only pertains to the two women working at Bardmore Promenade Great Clips today Tuesday 6:17. I showed them the picture that I wanted a haircut, simple haircut. It did involve scissors and a razor. They both told me. "Oh no! We don't use razors. It pulls the client's hair." I explained if the razor is sharp it does not pull the hair. "Oh yeah we don't do razors. We can't do that haircut."

    That would be the third person at Great clips at barmore promenade at Great clips Largo, Florida that told me they do not use razors. Poor service. Only gave them one star because I can't give a zero only for the two women working today before this. I've had good service at this Great clips. The two blondes I don't know who they are. I've never seen them there before.

    I had a horrible experience with Great Clips, DON'T GO THERE. So I was deciding to get a haircut so I went to great clips because it was pretty close to me. So I went there and I asked them for 1 inch off the top and a number 3 on the side, and they said ok so I trusted them. When they finished the haircut the buzzed my hair off. I couldn’t believe it, I was really mad because they completely messed up my hair. After this incident I never went back to great clips because it is a horrendous barber shop.

    I stopped in the Great Clips in River City today around 1:25 PM and the woman asked me if I checked in on-line. I said no, I was out running errands and stopped in. She said, "I am here by myself and a man has an appointment. I am only taking on-line appointments." I was sitting in an empty shop. I told her I am right here, right now. She just looked at me and started back to her chair. So I went to my car right out front of the shop and checked to see how many minutes it would be, if I went ahead and went on-line to check in. It said 0 minute wait!!!! So what does that tell you? No one was ahead of me. This is very bad business!
