Great Clips

Horrible! They layered my hair okay, but for my bangs they missed half of them so now I’m stuck with half cut bangs. They also cut my hair extremely uneven. Do not recommend. Definitely not worth $ 19.

Second time giving this place a chance, worst mistake, first time was with tina had a choppy haircut and told my self never coming back fast forward to today i need a fast haircut and im feeling i would try this place out again so they dont disappoint the weirdest haircut technique ive seen asked to keep my top hair long and have the side 1 and blended, the lady does my side up to half, so midway my head likes like a weird tree, then she tries to blend it by using a gaint comb tool which i think it might turn out better, ,
Overall my sides are extremly uneven choppy, plus my front length is not what i wanted asked to clean it up but stead cut off a good portion so i cannot style my hair the way i originally wanted (pompadore) dont come here, go to the buzz instead, i should of just waited and went to my normal stylist, yall are nice but never coming back again

I have been coming to this salon for many years because it is close to where I live. Just a few years ago they charged a reasonable $ 12 for a haircut here, and then they started raising the prices like every three to six months. Now a haircut is $ 19. Don’t forget this is a chain salon. I am sure they will raise the price again soon. Other Great Clips locations in the Bay Area are cheaper by the way. This location for some reason wants to charge the most. I think because they are in San Francisco they think they can get away with this. Another thing that really ticked me off is they no longer participate in the $ 9.99 gift card special Great Clips runs each November. You can go to any other Great Clips outside of the two in San Francisco (which I think have the same owner) and they sell the $ 9.99 per haircut pre-​paid gift cards during the November promotion, but this one does not participate in the promotion any longer I was told by one of the employees. One more price increase and I will no longer go to this location any longer.

Not much to say here. Just got a bad haircut in 12 minutes. Not going back. You can get a better cut in the Mission for about ½ the price.

Like all the other reviews said, you get what you pay for. They’ve increased their prices to $ 19 for a haircut, and it was not worth it. I personally did not like the cut I got because I have long curly hair which needs to be fully wet in order to cut correctly. Because they don’t offer complimentary washes, the haircut I got was a lot shorter than expected and pretty messy.
Pros: Open late. Efficient check in system. The staff is very nice. I had to ask them to wet my hair in the sink, which they kindly did without charging me.
Cons: This is a no frills salon. They do not wash your hair, and instead spray your hair with water before cutting. Shampoo/​conditioning is an additional $ 8.

This five star review is mainly for Wendy who cuts hair here. She listens to her client and cuts hair to the customers specific request

I’ve been a loyal patron for upwards of 15 years. I always get a great haircut but have noticed the fixtures & amenities are looking worse for the wear. My stylist this morning mentioned that the cushioned mats surrounding the chairs are in need of replacement, making it uncomfortable to stand for hours on end. Note to franchisee, invest a few dollars in your shop to keep the staff happy & the customers delighted!

My hair has looked better than it has in years.
NANCY is so worth it. She knows how to cut curly hair.
She takes her time and never rushes.
She makes my mom’s thinning hair cover her shall we say «bald spots» nicely.
My dad’s mustache and beard have never looked better.
I refuse to pay high prices for hair cuts ever again and Nancy has been the perfect solution for me.

Great clips offers a quick and dirty haircut for those who don’t need nor want all the frills of a salon. I was in and out in 15 minutes. I wouldn’t say I loved the haircut, but I just went in to chop off the split ends and get rid of my layers– I didn’t need anything fancy, so this place served the purpose. Anything fancier though, and I would have to advise you to avoid this place like the plague.
–walkins only, no appointments
–online check in is actually a fantastic system, works very well
–if you have never been to a great clips, there is no shampooing/​hair washing involved– they just spray down your hair a little before they start cutting

I’ve gotten my hair cut here several times and the results vary from poor to excellent. Today I had a negative experience — I was returning (reluctantly after my last bad haircut). I checked the wait online and it said 0 minutes. I went to the salon and one of the stylists rung up her previous customer and told me I would have to wait for the next available stylist and proceeded to close out her station. The two remaining stylists included the one who did such a poor job on my previous visit. I waited a few minutes and then told them I wouldn’t wait further and left. I won’t be back.

I called to find out what hours the Hair Stylist Nina worked. The person who answered the telephone was Rose. She said she was busy with a customer and hung the telephone up on me. This is an unacceptable situation. This is what I consider very poor customer service!!!

Just got my haircut, usually a 3 star place, but Wendy made it better this time. Even though it didn’t take very long, she took her time to make sure it was right. My hair is the thick black straight hair where I’ve had missed patches before.
Ever sat at a stylists chair, and silently started freaking out with every snip? Not with Wendy, I just kept looking better and better. Will come back if I can.

I’ve been getting my haircut here since I moved to the neighborhood 4 months ago. I normally have Le or Nina cut my hair here, as they both do perfect fades and are very confident and expedient. When I came in for a haircut today, Nina was at lunch and I was pawned off on an old guy I’d never seen there before. After sitting down I realized he didn’t even have a Cosmetology License on the mirror /​counter. That was red flag number one, I mistakenly chose to look past it so as not to make a scene. It took the guy almost 30 minutes to do a simple #2 fade, and once he handed me the mirror, I saw the back of my head looked like a battlefield: HUGE patches missing and sticking out. I knew he was too incompetent to fix it so I ran home, showered, reassessed, and became enraged. Completely unacceptable by any standards. I drove back, waited for Nina, and fortunately for me, her amazing skills and fix, led me to walk out relieved. I’ve looked it up online and technically cosmetology students are allowed to cut hair at salons, but this guy was old even for a teacher, so I suspect they bent/​broke the law. I will come back here because only 2 of the ladies do a perfect cut. Stick with whoever does a great job, be wary of a new face, and ALWAYS require a VISIBLE Cosmetology License. If you don’t see one maybe walk next door to Creighton’s where there’s always a cop hanging out and ask him if cutting hair for $ with no license is illegal. (It is)

I usually pay $ 70+ for a haircut. Funds are a little tight right now so I tried this place. Nice clean shop, I checked in On-​line and didn’t have to wait at all. Rose did a great job! Easy parking too!
I will definitely go back!

Brought my two sons, 9 and 3, here for haircuts today. I figured since I was at Diamond Heights, I’d save myself a trip to somewhere else. BIG MISTAKE! Their hair was cut by two different stylist and both were the worst cuts they have ever had! Lopsided, uneven, cut hair all over the face, neck ears, not even wiped off. I’ve never had such an experience. Back to the barber for us for real haircuts. AWFUL cuts. :(Hopefully they’ll grow out quickly. They were nice but cannot cut hair. Sorry, will not return, even with a coupon for $ 3 off.

Nice quiet place to get your hair, did. Ladies are very friendly and parking is great. Nice area of the city and is mostly clear and warm.

I went in with the notion of getting some layers to my long (just above my hips) hair. I left wanting a paper bag to put over my poor head. 8 inches does *not* qualify as a trim. When the stylist who shall remain nameless (started with a W — that’s all I’m saying) showed me the 3 inches she was planning to trim, I said perfect. I have no clue when my hair disappeared but it’s gone now and I want it back… WTF?! Learn the difference between a trim and a cut people!
Also, I distinctly remember telling this woman to leave my hair LONG, as long as possible and still healthy (it had been a while), I know there wasn’t 8 inches of damage, c’mon now.
Definitely will NOT be back, even for the lure of $ 12 hair cuts — I’ve never been embarassed by a haircut before, and I have to be Maid of Honor for a wedding in less than a week!
Should have asked for my money back…
Long story short — like my hair — JUST SAY NO!!!

My hair is pretty easy to cut — #1 buzz all around — usually I have the wife do it at home but sometimes she is too busy so i go to Great Clips.
Easy parking, cheap haircut, friendly hair-​cutters, and I’m usually in and out in 20 minutes

I spent $ 25 – 35 down in the Castro at so-​called ‘salons’ and frankly, I nor the people who compliment my hair can tell the difference.
In fact, I’d have to say that the folks at Great Clips — and I agree with another reviewer — do a great job if you keep going back and work with them on getting the cut you want.
If you think spending a whole lot more gets you a better haircut, think again.

In my efforts to save money, I went in for the $ 12 haircut.
My beautiful long hair resulted into blunt, uneven layers in the front and a mess in the back. Good thing I told her not to touch my bangs!
NEVER again.
EVER!
Not even when hell freezes over and the devil himself is skating on it.
