Great Clips

Went and saw Erika, super fast and easy. Usually what is an hour or so cut was done to my liking in 20 minutes. She understood exactly what I wanted and even left notes in the computer for next time for things I like and don’t like.

One of my favorite places to receive a haircut. Prices are very reasonable and the staff are very friendly. I try to see Veronica whenever possible but anyone will take care of you.
TIP: Be sure to check in on-​line before visiting so you don’t have to wait. When you arrive your name should be listed on the screen next to the desk.

If you have long hair, then you should look for a more professional salon. They cut my hair uneven and choppy. Never coming here again.

I was looking for super cuts, but my GPS lead me to to great clips… I checked in; everyone was very nice. My daughter got an amazing BOB hair cut!!! I was a little nervous since I was chopping my hair; I came out feeling refreshed and relieved! My hair now looks way better than I had expected! I’m stoked to say I went to great clips for a cheap hair cut. I typically have issues with going anywhere because my hair never comes out even, it looks like a hack job, after I ask them to thin out my thick wavy hair. (They never do or they don’t do it enough.) Hence, I have been just growing out my hair until I find my perfect stylist! And finally I have!!! I have my new favorite stylist!!! My hair is finally perfect!!! I do highly recommend checking out great clips! I have gotten several complements on my new hair cut!
The store is very clean, the tools are cleaned in between clients.

On Labor Day, Monday September 3, 2012, my boyfriend and I made a couple phone calls and learned that local Great Clips locations were closing at 6:00 p.m. rather than the usual 9:00 p.m. Monday closing time, due to the holiday.
Although we live in Antelope, we wanted to shop at the stores in the same shopping center as the Great Clips — Jade Plaza (on Greenback and San Juan in Citrus Heights), so we used the apps on our mobile phones to check in before we left home.
We arrived at Great Clips at 5:03 p.m., and were greeted with a sign taped on a locked door that explained that the store was closing early, due to the holiday. We knew they would be closing at 6:00, but this store decided to close even earlier — despite the fact that customers were checked in and obviously on their way. There was a customer sitting in a chair in the waiting area, and at least one customer receiving a haircut. The stylist just looked at us through the glass door, as we tried to get in.
How nice that this location decided to close an extra hour early — in addition to the 3 hours early for the holiday. How nice that they couldn’t call those on the waiting list (who were obviously en route) to let them know that they were closing even earlier than previously scheduled. How nice that they did not have the professional courtesy to come to the door and speak to us.
Note to owner of this franchise: you are not unique — there is a place to get a haircut on every corner. If you treat your customers with this kind of poor service, your franchise will not survive.

When it comes to making appointments, i have an aversion. dinner reservations rare, hence all my meals at the bar. so when it gets to hair cuts, i basically reach the point where i get tired of looking at myself, then i drive around to the local supercuts, sports clips, barber, whatever is close. if there’s a deep line i keep driving.
Naturally i wind up with some less than stellar cuts, but i don’t care as i cut it again in a few weeks anyway. Out here in the sticks i dropped into a super cuts on sunrise a few times and boy it was really hit or miss, mainly miss, plus my ears would be assaulted by country music, so i moved on.
I saw this little place. talk about an unspectacular setting. Noisy Greenback is right out front, it’s a basic tiny strip mall, but i went in and every hair cut i get is great! And as I can never remember anyone’s name i never ask for a particular girl, and they all hook me up each time. that is very nice. it’s quick, no terrible lines, they are all friendly, and i don’t remember the cost but it’s dirt cheap.
speaking of which…

Absolutely awful! I had a cut I really liked and just wanted a trim. I figured that was a simple enough request. When the girl (Layla) called my name, she was visibly dissapointed (I think she wanted one of the boys she had been flirting with from the counter). She asked me what I wanted, and I explained that I liked the cut that I had, but wanted a trim. I also told her that I wanted my shortest layer to still be long enough to pull back in a pony tail. She looked at me like I had just spoken to her in Martian and then slowly asked me specifics about my cut as if I was too stupid to have understood her before. I told her the same thing again and she was off. She rushed through the cut and it was butchered before I knew it. My layers were jagged and uneven and my bangs were too short. I immediately made an appointment with a real stylist and wore my hair up for the rest of the week until I could get it fixed. If you want a cut that requires ANY level of effort or comprehension, do not go here.

It’s time to look for a new hair cutter. I have been going here for a few years, but the level of service has been going down over time. The stylists just give you the haircut they want and don’t listen to your preferences. I used to like how they write down your preferred cut in the computer but they just don’t use it anymore. Their prices are good, but for a few dollars more I would prefer to get something I’m happy with for a few weeks.

With experiences in the past with these places it seems they have a quick rotation of barbers and it comes down to if they can cut hair well, the ones that are good usually leave or get transfered. It’s frustrating and you end up getting a different person each time.
Not the case with this location I have been here at least 10 times and I have always been satisfied with the haircut. I usually go here about mid week Tuesday or Wednesday to avoid the wait. I also grab the coupon in the Valu-​shopper in the mail and get the haircut for half price.
