| - Great Clips is what it is....every one who steps into a GC location needs to come in with certain.......EXPECTATIONS, I guess is the word. Let me explain further...
~What To Do~
Get your hair cut, colored, primped, primed for greatness
~The Good~
The stylists at each location are pretty even across the board as far as expertise goes. You can go to each location you want and get pretty much the exact hair cut. I still am amazed that no other hair place keeps your hair records like GC does. Why not, other stores?! That makes it so much easier on me, not having to remember my numbers and styles, etc. Also, as always, the discounts they have seasonally on cuts are nice on my wallets, as are the the general prices. Finally, for not having to set up appointments, its pretty fast eating for a cut.. I never have had to wait too long to get my hair cut which is a plus.
~The Bad~
Is primarily quality of the hair cut. The expertise seriously lacks beyond basic comprehension for a general haircut. I was paying a lot more for much nicer haircuts, but its not a big deal to me since I just need my hair to look decent. But seriously, everyone knows this place is for all the new hair cutters to get their feet wet in the business. If you expect anything more than a generic haircut, be forewarned. If you want a specific style, be wary, for it might not come out how you'd like it. I still think most people whom go here are already aware of most of this. Also, its hit or miss as far as the personality you work with. Some of the stylists are visibly in another dimension at times, they seem like they would rather be a garbage picker than working their....then there are the ones whom go the extra mile. Unfortunately the ones that do just that are the ones whom move up to a better job, oh well..
~The Down Low ~
This specific location is closest to me and allows me to go get my haircut for a relatively cheap rate. If I get a better job (crosses fingers) then I would really prefer going somewhere else...But until then, its Great Clips. They do get 3 stars, which I think is generous, for their haircut record keeping system, low prices/deals, and quick turnaround time for service when walking in. If you are on a budget, its a neccesity to find a low-cost barber shop. Honestly, I would prefer a local shop, but the deals that you get here are real good. I might change and go with a barber soon, but for now its Great Clips.
