This is what my hair was before.
Jennifer S.

This was the worst haircut ever! I have been growing my hair for two years to be able to have this one look. I wanted to celebrate my weight loss with a new hair cut. I showed the woman the picture and clarified long layers and curtain bangs that came to my lips. She took off way more layers and did not understand how to blend layers. She kept taking my hair off until I cried that I had enough and was leaving. She blamed me and my hair texture! I have straight hair!!! I would contact the State Board if I had her info. Another worker had to step in and salvage the haircut. My hair is super short and looks terrible. I've spent 3 hours tracking down another salon to do extensions because I look hideous and don't want to go to work. I hate this place and can't recommend it.

My son and I had our worst haircut experience this past Sunday Feb 18th at Mcdermott and Alma location of great clips in Allen TX  (1314 W McDermott Dr, Unit 112, Allen, TX 75013). Russell cut my son's hair and Lan cut my hair. My son is 8 yo and painfully shy/introverted. He gets the same haircut every 1- 2 months. This time Russell cut his hair. I showed him the last haircut pictures and explained what needed to be done. I then started getting my own hair cut by Lan. I could see that Russell was not handling my son gently, he was a bit rough. He was pushing his head a bit excessively. Later my son told me he was scared which makes me sad and angry. On top of that Russell did not cut his hair well. The hard part is very wide, it is not in the same place as his earlier parting, He cut the wrong side hair very short and made a weird box kind of appearance on the front where part ends. On the back the edge is not defined. And the haircut does not look finished on the back of his head with hair lengths not uniform. Please see attached pics. Lan cut my hair and was impatient the whole time. She rushed through it, handling was rough to the point of almost hitting me a couple of times. I saw my son was uncomfortable with Russell so requested Lan to pause so I could check on him. I made a quick check and asked Russell if he had any questions. It took less than a minute, but even that was too long for Lan and she was impatiently calling me back. After the haircut, we noticed the issues with my son's haircut. When we provided feedback that the hard parting for my son was not done well, Russell was loud, aggressive and disrespectful. He blamed the bad haircut on my son by saying that he was moving a lot during the haircut. I was right there when he was cutting my son's hair and never heard him instructing my son to not move or tell me about it.  I had to ask Russell multiple times to calm down so we could have a civil conversation but he continued to be loud, rude and disrespectful. Then Lan came out to the front desk. I provided her feedback about our bad experience but she too became defensive and rude. We asked to speak to the manager and Lan and Russell refused to give us their manager's contact saying they were on a vacation. At this time I did not know Lan's name and when I asked for it, she refused to tell me her name. I found it on the receipt. This is by far the worst experience we have had at great clips in the 10+ years we have come to different locations for our haircut. I have attached pictures. It is unfortunate my son had to experience this. Hope Great Clips as a business can do something to remedy the situation so it does not happen to other people again, especially kids. Thanks Gaurav

Yeah TAPER???????  Sure!!!!!  FADE?????  Sure!!!!!!!

The worst hair cut ever!!!!! Took my little son here and a lady named patty did a terrible job. You could see where the machine cut the hair and not blended at all. Had to come back and have a different lady across from her fix it. Well made the mistake and came back and brought my 14 year old son. A lady named Nikki was the one that ended up doing his hair cut. The lady didn't even speak proper English or something, because told her TAPER and a FADE as so did my son in the chair!!!!! She didn't listen to a single thing we said and brought his hair line up! Didn't taper a thing! If you don't know what a taper is, why don't you ask your client?? At the end I said this is taper and showed her a picture. She said that I needed to show her a picture next time when I start!! NEXT TIME????? Dear there will NOT be a next time!!!!!! TERRIBLE!!! Thankfully hair grows!!!!!!!

I have to concur with others. My hair is all one length. Just cut the ends off. Super simple. Now it's multiple lengths. By far the worst cut I've ever had. I am horrified.

I am seriously so glad that I found Hannah. I wanted to get a balayage for the longest time (had…read morenever had my hair colored before). However, I have very dark brown, almost black hair and was definitely scared of having an orangish tint or a streaky look. I've seen color go wrong for so many of my friends with dark hair, so I shopped around for so long before I discovered Hannah. Hannah is experienced, customer focused, and extremely knowledgeable - all the reasons I selected her to be my colorist. It was hard to find someone who was experienced with brunettes, especially as a lot of stylists in the area cater to blondes. You definitely want someone who has experience working with the color you are looking to achieve. Hannah has vast experience working with brunettes - from virgin hair to color corrections. Hannah is also incredibly customer focused and worked with me through a series of appointments, even re-toning my hair after my initial visit to ensure I loved my look. She is also extremely knowledgeable, as she not only answers questions in-depth, but also offers an educational approach - helping clients learn how to take care of their hair without high maintenance! It's only been two weeks, and I can't wait for my next appointment! If you're looking for a stylist/colorist, Hannah is the best!

They sent out an email promising a free blowout for your birthday, but don't honor it if you're not…read moreactive client, even though there's nothing in the email that says that. If it's their mistake they sent out the email, then they should honor it but that's how they do business there. My hair was also cut way too short last time but that thought I'd give her another chance, but never again if they have these kind of business practices

I am trying to grow out all my color and needed a shorter cut to assist with this undulating process?! Luckily, I was able to find someone immediately to help me with this task-I was at the point of cutting off my own hair to accomplish. Luckily, Young was available and cut my hair nicely with a great style. I have white-gray hair at my temples and Young worked her magic to cover up my gray while growing out my hair naturally! She's amazing and I left with self confidence and a happy new hairstyle. I was even indulged with a relaxing, massage, neck massage and luxurious hair shampoo by the sweet guy that specializes in scalp treatment! He provided great advice on what shampoos to use and products for sensitive scalps!! I tipped him because this was a high end perk at a budget shop. I had a memorable and Amazing time at Pika, pika and will return. I highly recommend Pika, pika hair, they're great, and fit me in to prevent me from chopping off my locks. They're right next to H-Mart, the shop and staff are all really nice and do amazing work. They are now my permanent hair stylist and I cannot wait to see them all again.

Unfortunately, the haircut I received from the owner was very basic and not what I asked for. I even provided two pics of what I was looking to achieve- failed miserably. I was especially disappointed with the scissor work and overall technique. Clippers were used on the back of my hair, which I initially assumed was part of creating some shape, but there really wasn't any layering or noticeable effort to add movement or texture. The end result felt more like a basic cut than a thoughtfully shaped haircut. Considering the owner has been cutting hair for some time, I expected a stronger understanding of basic scissor techniques and layering. In my experience, the skill level just wasn't there for the type of cut I was requesting. Ultimately, you get what you pay for, and unfortunately I left disappointed.
