Great Clips

Lots of jokes have been made over the years about the discount hair stylists. But, at my age I’m not getting it styled anymore. Clippers are my style these days.
I was greeted as soon as I came in. When I gave my phone number, they knew who I was and how I had my hair cut last time. I was seated in the stylist’s chair within only a few minutes.
The stylist, Ana, was a perfectionist. When you go to these places they tend to be quick, 1,2,3 visits where they move you through so they next person can be seated. That was clearly not the way she worked — she made sure everything was done to my liking and beyond. I walked out with the cut I wanted, and she ensured there everything was even and clean, and there was not a stray hair where it shouldn’t be.
Fantastic service at a good price. What more could you ask for?

I recently changed Great Clips because I relocated, so this is the closest one to me. I also downloaded the GC app, so I really like it because I can check in on my way, and I’m already in the queue.
The hairstylists here are great too. I can explain how I want it cut and they will listen and deliver; huge plus. I know that should be the expectation when getting a cut, but such is not always the case. So far, I haven’t had to worry here.
Another big plus is that they send out coupons. When I went to the other GC, I never received discounts other than my $ 1 off receipt. For the Hoffman GC I get mailers for cheap haircuts and that customer appreciation goes a long way. Being on a budget, I’m thankful for those.
I don’t foresee anything that will cause me to discontinue my patronage; minus one star because it’s a little awkward to get to from the highway.

Loved my stylist Veronica, however management at this location is terrible. Had to move on because the manager got to be a huge pain. I was driving two hours to my stylist because she is that good. However, her manager had made way too many rude comments to me and I just had to stop walking into the place. Too bad because I was very loyal. Found a great place in River North called Supercuts and am very happy.
