Great Clips

Both my daughter and I had a great haircut there today from two different staff!
The young lady (she said she already has a grandchild) with fluffy hair is wonderful, washed my hair with great care, and cut my hair rather quickly, but turns out great! My 14 yr old daughter is so happy with her hair, makes sure I write this review. Her stylist is a guy.

I’m giving great clips a 4 stars not 5 stars because of the wait which was like 30 minutes. Other than that the person who cut my hair, Caityln, was spot on and she was very nice and friendly! I am definitely going to go back due to the price and the lady who cut my hair!

Unbelievably incompetent. Presumably the experience varies by the employee, but that’s just the point.

The worst haircut in 15+ years!
I knew I was in trouble when I checked in and the woman behind the counter was leaving a message for a stylist that was late for work.
She took my information, and I had to repeat everything twice or more. (simple things like name zipcode)
I dreaded it when she was the one cutting my hair.
I wish I could take a picture. Her body language said it all. One handed clipper action like she was zorro, but with a distracted look. Her clippers were dull, which make her hacking of my hair hurt.
She would ask questions, and ignore my responses. I had to repeat requests constantly and she still did not pay any attention. I finally had to ask her to stop. You can’t fix something after you cut it off. I have never walked out of a hair cut incomplete, but i felt i had to.
I have been going to great clips around the country, but I seriously have to rethink my choices.
If there is not a minimum level of training on a national level, I am wasting my time with greatclips.
Do not go here unless you don’t care what you look like for the next three weeks!
I should have read the reviews before coming in.

I totally agree with the former employee, she is right about everything she wrote. As a former Manager for this company 6 months after opening, I feel I took this Salon to a hole new level. General Manager is the 2^nd worst boss I have worked for. He ran myself and the staff I worked with ragged. NOTHING was ever good enough. We held good numbers and I will say the salon was spotless at all times. We were a team and General Manager soon broke that up «sad» the excuses were;; «timing between hair cut’s,». No more than, 17 min a hair cut (that can not always been done” if one is a true Stylists you know). General Manager’s behavior is very threatening, belittling, he turned the staff against me. He also Lied to the «Big» Boss who works for Great clips corporate offices. He down right lied. He can and will call one on what ever he wants, to let you know «don’t do it to him» because he will get you make you cry behind closed doors so you run out. I have personally witnessed that happen with the General Manager with staff that never came back. Best part it was all the managers fault lol Sick man. Think twice before working here. General Manager will get you back please be careful.

Worst haircut I have ever had. Hairstylist was out of it and she did the exact opposite of what I told her. Literally took a chunk out of the back of my hair.

People complain a lot about the haircut quality here as well as the sanitation. I can’t blame anyone at all. As a former employee let me tell you all why it’s so filthy and why you all don’t get the haircut quality you want. The general manager doesn’t want us to have over 1 minute to clean in between customers. How am I suppose to properly clean and sanitize under 1 minute? I love to keep a clean working area but if I take over 1 minute in between guests, I get written up. We can use the same comb on every person without sanitizing and they wouldn’t care. As far as the haircut quality, they want us to rush every single haircut. If our haircut times are above 17 minutes we get written up. All this stress and hard work for $ 8.00 an hour and 1 – 3 $ tips wasn’t worth it. Spend your money somewhere that cares about quality and cares about their employees. This place only cares about taking your money. They don’t care about anything else which is exactly why I quit. No one deserves to be treated in such way, both the customer and the employee. I hope you found this helpful.

The shop is pretty nice and very conveniently located but the stylist who cut my hair is the reason for my five star rating. My hair usually takes about 30 minutes. Sam managed to do it in less time and send me on my way looking better than usual. Great Clips can expect to see me again as long as she’s working there.

I had one good haircut here 2 years ago but have gone back 3 times since and each has been worse than the previous even though they have the same ridiculously simple instructions to follow. I think that’s finally it for me here. Shouldn’t be this hard to get a decent haircut. Also the bathroom was filthy

Well this salon was not a scene out of Steel Magnolias, it was more like a scene from… well I don’t think they make movies that bad! I was visiting from out of town and stopped by to get a quick cut. I was told, from a stylist in the back of the salon, check in on the computer unless you checked in online. Finally someone came around and helped and told me a twenty minute wait. There were some younger students waiting to get their hair done… at 15 minutes of waiting, I noticed that the same three were still sitting in the chairs getting their hair done as when I walked in. A younger guy asked one of the female stylist how much longer it would be, she told him to be patient and wait. He walked out, as did I and two others. I might strongly suggest avoiding this place.

I’ve been here a few times and have always had a good enough experience. Most recently (in May) I got the best hair cut of my life. Three months later and I’m still blown away by just how good the cut has been. From day one it has looked great and it’s growing out beautifully, with perfect face-​framing layers. The cut was just as good (if not better) than a fancy salon and the price can’t be beat. I wish I knew my stylist’s name (tall guy with dark hair) — request him if you can!
I’m knocking off a star for ambiance and a star for consistency — this place is no thrills and a little hit or miss — but you get more than what you pay for and they don’t try to push product on you. Use the Pru card for an extra discount.

Probably the worst haircut of my life. Cheap, but the lady went buzzing through my scalp with those clippers. I actually wonder if she even knew how to cut hair, or was just doing it of her whims and fancies. Then she charged $ 3 more on my credit card. The rating is actually 0 stars. What a disaster.

I’ve been in not huge rush to be an unhappy Unilocaler for this place but if it makes a difference. The staff seems new, I’ve been there three times for its proximity to my place. Bad cuts, not bad people. Go somewhere else, your hair will thank you & you can spare yourself the cheap haircut jokes at work.

I go to Great Clips for a quick trim and that’s what I need. I like their online check in app so you dont have to waste your time waiting there. You get a discount with a Pruferred card but I see deeper discounts in Prudential newsletter ($ 6.99) and grocery circular weekly ads ($ 4.99). Currently there is a coupon for $ 5 that expires the end of this month. Happy Clipping.

I’ve had hits and misses here, but rarely bad enough to mention. There’s some really great, friendly stylists available.
Unfortunately, my haircut last week was very disappointing. I asked for a trim to even out my grown bangs with the rest of my hair. After this rushed, ten minute haircut, the basic bob left me with odd clumps of extra hair on one side and a completely lopsided, uneven back. I was humiliated at work the next day when my coworkers took pictures to show me how poorly my hair looked.
I do not like having to pay twice for a haircut, even for a low price.

I came in for a haircut first thing in the morning and was tended to immediately. Patricia was efficient, skilled, and gave me exactly what I asked for. 5 stars for the cut! And 5 stars for only costing $ 9.99 with the Pru card.

Alright ladies, this is how it’s done:
1). You go in. Say hello, flash that gorgeous smile.
2). Ask for a trim.
3). When they ask you again what you want/​if you want your hair shaped, you say: «no, just a trim please» (and you’d specify the amount, i. e an inch).
4). Pay and get on with your day!
That’s the main takeaway — instead of worrying that they are going to ruin your hair, since, well, it’s only $ 15, you make it simple&quick for a nice, healthy touch up.
Save your money for a nicer salon to stay away from any glitch that a lower priced salon may do.

Great affordable hair cut on my lunch break! Popped in to see how long the wait was & it was only about 5 minutes. I was greated warmly & asked what I wanted done & if I wanted a wash. I only wanted a cut, which was no problem. Tricia cut my hair & we chatted so it made the time fly. When she was done, she asked if I was pleased with my cut or if there were any adjustments I wanted to make. I loved it!
If you have the PruCard, it’s only $ 8.99 for a cut… very affordable! I will be coming back.

Been here twice. The 1^st time, my hair was uneven and lop-​sided. The 2^nd time (I have a 7.99 cut coupon) was much better and the stylist took the time to listen to what I wanted. They try to push the hair products a little too excessively.

I went to the Great Clips location on Belvedere Street by Prudential that just opened 5 months ago, but they don’t have a listing.
THIS WAS THE WORST HAIR CUT OF MY LIFE. So much so, that I am reviewing a different location in the hopes that it somehow convinces others to never go to this organization for a hair cut.
I asked for a 1 metal clip faded on the sides and back. After the woman cut the bottom half with a 1, she then asks me «is there supposed to be a line like this»? UMM, no psycho, do you understand the definition of «FADE». Then she asks for her managers help, upon which we find out she doesn’t have the necessary metal clips to do the fade. She then tries going over my head 10 times, rubbing my head raw while waiting for the manager to take over. This woman was clearly inexperienced and untrained.
I then had to go wait in the seating area with everyone else where I felt like a complete jackass with my head half cut.
The manager then took over, but he didn’t have the same equipment as the first lady and thus was unable to fad the side and backs of my head. He tried his best, but it wasn’t happening. He asks me «is this looking better»? «No, can you fix it better». He again tried and failed. He then wanted to try one clip which caused it to go shorter than the 1 metal clip. Now, I have a spot on the side of my head with hair missing.
This was a mess. And to top it off, I still had to pay! I don’t know why I paid for that, I really should not have.
I went home and did a better job of fading the sides and back of my hair, but it still looks a hot mess.
I hope Great Clips goes bankrupt. That is how truly horrible this haircut was.
