Great Clips

I got decent haircuts here the last two times I was here so I had to give em two stars for not being absolutely terrible. But dang, this recent visit of mines takes the cake for worst haircut ever. Look at my profile picture and look at the haircut I just received at Great Clips. Worst haircut I’ve ever had in my life.
My hair is cut easily with a one clip fade up of the sides and back, then a half inch to an inch off with the top depending on how long my hair is. The lady totally butchered my hair. She didn’t fade up the sides, she just used a one clip and buzzed way too far up. And even with that buzz, she still left little hairs sticking out on my sides which I later had to cut off with scissors at home. The top was extremely uneven and patchy which I did my best to even out myself at home. The back of my head had lines, clearly showing she didn’t buzz everything out smoothly on this side either. I don’t have a buzzer so I left my back side with the uneven line which clearly shows.
I’ve went to three other Great Clips locations in St. Paul, all worse than the Midway location: Oakdale (the absolute worst), Sunray (never received an even haircut here), and Woodbury (haircuts were often crooked, did receive like 2 good haircuts here out of 10 visits).
Moral of the story, Great Clips hires new hairstylists often, most of which just cannot cut hair (or can’t do a simple fade and blend?). There is that one or two hairstylists that knows how to cut hair at Great Clips. When you find that person, make sure you request that only that person cuts your hair. I made the mistake of letting any stylist cut my hair due to me being in a rush and now my hair looks like shit.

Do NOT let Anthony cut your hair! I asked him to smooth out a bump on the cut of the sides. Right after doing that, he immediately cut the left top side at a straight diagonal, completely different than the other side when I had already told him at the beginning that the top didn’t need to be cut.
Veronica, the manager, tried her best last night to make the problem less obvious. She was very good and a very pleasant person, but the damage was so bad that, even though my hair grows fast, I will have to let it grow at least 1 – 2 months before she can completely correct the damage Anthony did.
The rating is Negative stars for Anthony, but Veronica deserves 4 stars. It was as good as can be done given what Anthony had done.
