Great Clips

The hairstylist Sam is great here. She understands what you want. She is careful, efficient, and friendly.

The hair cut my son got was horrible (uneven, bad fade). What’s worse is that the stylist was rude, argumentative, and didn’t listen. Plus she tried to blame a 13 year old for his bad cut when there was a complaint. Definitely don’t go there if you have African American hair. Alt least not to Beatrice. Normally, we would go to a better barber, but made the mistake because it was close and convenient. Plus we just needed a simple cut… never again.

Hair cut was ok however the hair dresser messed up my side locks as she was in a hurry to finish up & attend to other customers. This was my second time so I would not recommend this place to anyone. The first time experience was just fine, hair dresser was a bit curt but I guess it has to do with the fact that this is a big chain so they do not really care. Now the second time they have really messed up big time — went there the second time only because i live in PT.
Will NOT recommend this place to anyone.

I tried this salon when I used to stay at PT. its cheap compared to other downtown salons. but haircut was very ordinary.

I found this gem about a block away from Ogilve Transportation Center, where I work. I walked in and was immediately taken care of. My haircut was fast, cheap, and exactly aligned with my specifications. I am pleased with the results, and will make a return appearance!

I had a hair cut twice there. Both the time, i explained very clearly that what kind of hair cut i need and they always messed up. Even i showed them the picture as well still not working. Another thing i told them that please do not use clipper for hair cut and last time she did use the clipper. People who work there focus on the words of the customer. I would never recommend to go to this place. You should find some other salon for hair cut by paying little bit extra. Not a good place for hair cut. they completely destroyed my professional look.

Efficient check in process with their online app. They get super busy during peak times, like lunch and 5pm, so definitely download the app and check in online.
At times they will sell their «Great Card» where you can pre-​purchase haircuts for $ 9.99. If you are regular customer, this is a great value.

I have low expectations for any kind of Great Clips, Super Cuts, Sport Clips, or any other mass-​produced high volume places where guys can get a haircut for 10 bucks. And, yeah I still only go to those places.
But, seriously, this is the worst Great Clips I’ve ever been to. Both times I’ve been there, my hair came out looking totally uneven, and the salonists who work there were super spacey and bordering on rude. Only redeeming feature to this place is that it’s close to work.
Even the Great Clips on Elston Ave is far better.

I’m a fan.
Great value haircuts for $ 16, and the barbers are friendly. This venue fulfills both location and speed, with very experienced salonists. On a weekday evening, most of the customers were male. I wish I remembered my barber’s name.
Will be back.

Do you want to screw up your date… Are you looking to anger your girlfriend… Yes… So great clips is the place… The guy there suggested me to try tapering… Did not confirm the side lock size… Everything crappy… I would die but won’t go there…

Went this past Wednesday for a change with my hairstyle. I had long blonde hair but wanted to try something different… Susan was my stylist and took good care of me. She first cut it a little longer than the picture just to make sure I wouldn’t be unhappy with chopping off too much and I felt like I had control of the final look that I would have to wear everyday from there. I ended up going shorter but appreciated the input. I also loved the result! Susan is a professional hairstylist!

Ok seriously all these chain haircut places are the same right? Super cuts, great clips, hair cutlery? Yes! Well, usually…
That is, unless you visit this particular great clips. I feel these chains all hire the latest licensed stylists right off the Hair-​U bus, the good ones get experience and move to a fancy salon. If thats really the case, this location has amazing campus recruiters b/​c all the stylists are awesome! But, what is more likely realistic is here you have quality experienced stylists and not newbies. Thankfully that means you won’t have the roll-​the-​dice after check-​in and hope you get the good one experience — here they’re all great!!!
Disclaimer: I’m not 24 anymore and wearing the latest Bieber or whatever is trending hair style, nor do I have the same amount of hair I had when I was 24 (damn you Propecia side effects…) so all I require is a pretty simple cut and they do an amazing job.
Bonus: near work and open early and can check wait time online? Score! Did I just get excited about a chain haircut place??? Don’t tell anyone, mmmmkay?

Got my shit faded high & tight here for Spring, because you know, it’s so nice and Spring-​like outside right now. My stylist was really nice and we talked mostly about our love for dogs the whole time, just so you are aware. The salon was clean and tidy and I will be back. You can’t beat this place for a $ 15 quality hair cut near the loop. Next time I am going to get a braided rat tail extension. Let that shit flow in the wind.

I passed by at Saturday and asked about something they told me it called «outline trimming»
I went there today and asked for The «outline trimming «and told him I don’t want to cut my hair cuz I want to grow it tall BUT he gave me a haircut. I kept telling him that I only want the outline trimming and he kept saying he have to cut a little bit so it blind in. Then he called it a misunderstanding and wanted to charge me for the haircut …
I think this is my last visit to them

The reason why I actually dared to step into this salon was looking at the reviews at Unilocal.I have really smooth silky hair and I like to keep it short, sort of a pixie cut. I went on a Sunday at about 5.30 and I know they close at 6, so I’m guessing they did a shabby job because I went so close to closing time. Anyway, I was greeted politely and did not have to wait long to get my hair cut. They get points for that.
The lady who cut my hair was Susan and I must say she did not do a good job! I mean I dont really mind paying for a haircut. You do not want to be stuck with a bad hairdo for about a month till it grows out.
Well she told me that the ‘Jennifer Lawrence haircut’ would really suit my face cut and I said, well go ahead. It was ok at the beginning and then she got to a point where she literally started plucking my hair out with some kind of weird equipment. It looked like a jagged version of a scissor. I guess they use that to get uneven cuts on hair. Whatever, I spent the rest of the time on the chair flinching every time she yanked at my hair. The result was ok, not so great. I’ve had better haircuts. Even Haircuttery at State does a better job.
Bad decision to change hair stylists!

This is a nice new location. I had a coupon so $ 7.99 is a pretty solid deal. Much better and friendly service than the old town hair cuttery I went to. I had Michelle, and she gave me one of the better haircuts I’ve had in a long time. She was very personable and cares about what she’s doing. Happy to have found a permanent spot to get my haircut.

EDIT (would be 1 star):
I originally posted a five star review a few years ago. I had a terrible experience here about one year ago (been reaaaally lazy), so I’ve averaged it out.
I went right before a friend’s wedding to get a maintenance trim (one inch of the bottom and bang trim). I had the same stylist (Susan) who i had before; thought everything would be OK as it was before. Went over multiple times that I just wanted an inch off the bottom. She insisted I add more «fireworks» and chopped off big pieces off the back. She saw I was getting upset about the length taken off and rushed me out of the chair and out the door. What I left with was not even a haircut. It was large, uneven chunks cut off around the back, as if I had just taken scissors and snipped behind my head blindly. It was extremely unprofessional. I ended up going to Twisted Scissors to get a pixie cut (right before this wedding) to fix it, as only cutting it very short would make it look normal again.
Original (5 star):
I have been thinking about cutting off my long hair and donating to Locks of Love or the Pantene program for a while. Something about today made me decide to take the plunge.
Although I was really anxious about going to a low-​cost chain hair salon to get a short style and such a drastic change, I decided to give Great Clips a try. They are close to where I live, they gave my BF a nice haircut a few weeks back, and I didn’t want to pay $ 70 to have my hair just cut off. So, I took the risk. And am very glad I did!
I went at about 1 PM on a Wed and there was no line. I told them I wanted to cut it all off and donate and everyone who worked there was very excited and supportive. The stylists sat down and talked with me about what I wanted; we looked through pictures, etc. She cut slowly and kept checking in with me about length, so I didn’t get too freaked about the 15+ inches of hair I got rid of!
When we were finished, i was so happy with how it turned out, I wasn’t even sad or regretful about cutting it all off (I was still in a little bit of shock, though!). The best part was, the cut was FREE because it was a donation (I didn’t expect that at all). And they pack and ship it for you, so you don’t need to send it in yourself.
Everyone there was very nice, complimented me and my new look, and made me feel like I was really doing something good by donating. They were nice, professional, gave me what I came in for, and didn’t try to sell me a bunch of extra products and services. I would definitely go back here.

I totally went out of my way to get a hair cut but I’m glad I did! A Belly Bite for a free cut brought me in. They had a deal where if you buy t a 5 pack of cuts I got that Day’s cut for free. The manager gave me my free Belly Bite cut to use at a later date on a gift card. I was really impressed as usually you cant combine deals.
My stylist Sherice did a great job. She was super cool and very thorough and made sure I was totally satisfied before I walked out the door.

Although I have gone to comparable salons like Cost Cutters and Hair Cuttery (both of which are a closer), I thought I’d take a nice walk on this beautiful summer day and check out this place. Okay, the coupon I had for a $ 7.99 haircut was a motivator, too. Happily, this «discount deal» did NOT disappoint!
They have this «online checkin» which allows you to cue-​up so that when you arrive, you are ahead of any walk-​ins. Nice. When I did it, it showed a 19 min wait. Done! When I arrived, it was no more than 5 minutes before Michelle welcomed me to her chair for a consultation. This, by the way, following a «Hi Daniel» when I arrived! Nice touch — even if she had no certainty if I was the person who had checked-​in about 15 min prior. The clean, comfortable, fairly modern environment — coupled with Michelle’s friendly and professional demeanor — put this newcomer at ease.
Throughout the haircut, her 20+ years of experience translated into great attentiveness and pride in her work as she asked for my feedback and explained what she was doing — and why — to make my style the way I wanted it. She was conversational but not overbearing… efficient but not hurried. I really appreciated her attention to detail, styling advice and, of course, the finished cut/​style.
Finally, an explanation on my rating of 4 stars rather than 5: the only reason for this is because the service didn’t include a shampoo. She mentioned it during the cut — but maybe it is an add-​on — or I never confirmed wanting it. I would likely have paid more if I did get this service — but this is a very Minor criticism. I am very pleased with the Great cut and friendliness that Michelle provided. I Will be coming back!

Lately I have been choosing businesses that are conveniently located to either work or home. This Great Clips fit the bill and they are synonymous for affordable haircuts. I gave them a chance and I was very pleased with my first trim. Jasmine put my previous 30 plus dollar haircut to shame.
This recently opened location on Madison sits a street level connected to one the Presidential Towers. Very clean as one would expect, brand new build, and welcoming staff. You can check-​in online and arrive within 20 minutes and you get to hop the line. Almost like an appointment but different.
If you can’t check beforehand your name gets added to the queue when you arrive. I haven’t had to wait more than 10 minutes at this location after work. The stylist keeps notes on each visit so there is no guessing the next time you come in. They pay attention to the details and provide you with what you want. This is important when providing a service and they do it well.
Men’s haircuts run $ 15.99 and they seem to hand out coupons on the street often. First time at his location? Your next visit will run you $ 6.99. They also offer a prepaid gift card providing 5 cuts for $ 49.99 and you get that haircut free when purchasing. You do the math it’s a good deal.
