I've been to every Great Clips in the Rockford area and this location is my favorite. I've had…read moregreat experiences at this location, but just as with any Great Clips, the trick is finding someone you like in addition to being very specific on what you'd like your haircut to look like. The more specific, usually the better it turns out (in my experience). The percentage of great haircuts I've gotten here is by far the highest. This location might be tricky to find at first, but after that it's easy. It's right across from Granite City/Cherryvalle Mall. I also like that you can check in online/the app and they usually give you coupons for $1-$2 off your next haircut. If you come here often, they sometimes run a deal where you can buy several haircuts at once (like a gift card) for $10/ haircut. Take advantage of that deal if you're a regular.

Great place for a haircut…read more Always clean and freindly. They even have an app so you can check-in online and see in advance what the wait times look like. Haircuts go pretty fast and they keep track on how you like them. I can honestly say, I have never had an issue at a great clips. They are always more than willing to get your hair the way you want it. And, they are even great with kids and their weird special requests.

ALL of the girls here are super nice, very knowledgeable, and talented in their work. I have very long hair, and Esma is excellent with helping me keep it as healthy and beautiful as ever. Danelle is awesome with brows and skincare- she is my go to! I've had too many good experiences here to name everyone who's been a part of it, but I highly recommend this salon! If there's ever a problem, they are so quick at making it right immediately. These ladies take good, good care of their customers.

Holy Cow! I went into the salon for the bridal trial for hair and makeup and was blown away by Esme…read more(hair) and Denelle (makeup). They were phenomenal, listened to what I my requests, and were super great at timeliness. They were absolutely booked for the wedding day. Come day-of, they were early, brought everything they needed to the wedding venue and were overall calm (which made us all calm!!). We had music going, they shared their own gossip to distract us when necessary. It was such a beautiful day and I can't imagine what we would have done without these two ladies!!

She's funny and personable and does a great shampoo (one of my favorite things about getting my hair done). I no longer live out in Illinois but I have Angie do my hair whenever I go out to visit - it's totally worth it. Within minutes of leaving the salon I got numerous compliments on my hair. If you go ask for Angie! The other cool thing about this salon is that they also do manicures and pedicures so you can make it into a nice relaxing spa day if you want.

Back in December 2024 I had an appointment at this Rockford store for my 5 year old. When I got there the manager decided to rather than take my 5 year old for the hair cut to make us wait over an hour for someone else to cut our hair. I complained on their survey the wait time was "15 minutes" and "on deck" on the app but changed to an hour wait and took over an hour. After sending the complaint the next time in, my oldest son (where we filled out the complaint) was "no longer welcome" at the state street store. All because of a complaint for how long we had to wait for a 5 year old. On top of prices constantly going up, no longer worth the hair cut. still no follow up from the store so must not need the business.

She takes into account your hair type, your lifestyle including upkeep and maintenance time, and she may have suggestions that tweak the look you want a bit to make it totally work on you.

She may be hard to get into at first because she's usually swamped, but Victoria is definitely worth the wait.

LOVED my experience at Mane Expressions yesterday afternoon getting a hair cut. I called Sanctuary…read moreat the last minute for an afternoon appointment and they couldn't fit me in at a good time amidst my holiday shopping, so they recommended this sister salon. The salon was inviting and decorated nicely for the holiday. I had to wait about 20 minutes before my service began as Pattana finished up her previous service, but both Pattana and the girl at the front desk were apologetic and made me comfortable in the meantime in the waiting area. The bathrooms were clean and I was offered tea/coffee/water right away after coming in for my appointment. The salon also uses Aveda products, which I LOVE and are great for all hair different hair types. Pattana was a great stylist. She was warm and friendly and made sure that she knew exactly what I wanted for my cut. I hadn't had a haircut in several months and brought in photos of a long bomb on my phone. She made sure she looked carefully over the photos and that I understood how the haircut would frame my face and be different lengths in the front/back. I appreciated how much care she took to make sure I would be happy with the final result. Throughout the cutting process, she made sure I was okay with the length that was being taken off. When I wasn't sure if it was too much, she agreed to leave the length and to cut more later if needed. The end result was perfect. Thanks for a great cut, Pattana! I would definitely come back to her and to Mane Expressions after such a great first experience. The cut was $35 + tip and I left loving my new look!
