I've been to this location a few times now. I always use online checkin to save some time. Teresa did a fantastic job with my hair cut. On a different visit, Lucy curled my hair for a special occasion and it looked great! Curls stayed in all night! Everyone is very friendly there too! read more

I wasn't going to name drop but after seeing another negative review about Isabel I have to. Long story short, at this kind of place, unless you specifically see one person you like, it's so up in the air as to the quality of haircut you're going to get. The last time I went to this location, the haircut was great. This time was horrible. I told Isabel that I wanted about an inch cut off, long layers and still be able to put my hair up. Well she just started hacking away. She said she was doing the layers first. Ok I thought. Then she just keeps cutting. Not sectioning my hair at all at she went. I don't have to be a hair stylist to know that's how you're supposed to cut hair. I can also tell she's barely even cutting the inch off that I wanted and just doing the layers. I tell her there's barely anything cut (other than the layers) so she keeps cutting. Well she went nuts with the layers so now the front half of my hair is in shortish layers that I didn't want and also don't go back into a ponytail like I requested. She even went to cut off more from the front and told her to stop because it was already short enough! And despite all that....the back is completely uneven. It's also hard to stop someone mid cut to tell them you don't like it because she's working fast and I have hair in my face so I can't see until it's done. I just wanted to get the heck out of there. Thankfully most of my hair still goes up because that's how I will be wearing it until this mess grows out. EDIT: I called the next day and Teresa the manager said I could come in and get it fixed. She was very nice, apologetic and made it much better. read more

Great Clips - Bad hair cut - Hair Salons Near Me - Darien, Illinois

I totally agree with David Z.. (see below) We took our 3 year old grandson to get what was supposed to be a haircut. He was the victim to more of a scalping than a haircut. Crazy Horse would have been proud. Isabel did a horrible job with a normal, regular, boys haircut. She had it cut in uneven lengths and just chopped to bits. I could have done better if I put a bowl on his head. At least it would have been the same length all around. Looking like a friar would be a better look than how he looks now. Awful job. David Z. 1 year ago Worst haircut ever. Do not use Isabel. Didn't talk, didn't ask any questions. Tore up my neck and upper back (never experienced that before) Will not be back. read more

Update: 10/26/23. I recommend Angelina. She did a wonderful job and she's very pleasant to talk to. I suggest checking in on the app so you know how the wait is. read more

My kids and I had bad experience at this location with Arielle. The biggest problem I experienced was her attitude. She's very cold and negative. All around bad vibes and negative energy bouncing off this chick. She cut my child's hair shorter than I had asked because it's hard to communicate with her due to her defensive and rude demeanor. It took all but 5 minutes for the haircut and she did not blow dry the dripping wet hair. My other child was getting a haircut at the same time from another stylist and she took more time and at least blow dried her wet hair. When it came time to check out, the other stylist experienced an issue with the receipt and Arielle yanked the receipt from her hand and pierced it through the skewer thing you put all receipts on. The passive aggressiveness clearly shows. Even my kids asked me why she was mean. Pretty embarrassing for her that even a child was able to spot bad manners. Only reason I kept my mouth shut was bc they were with me. Nonetheless, we will NOT be returning. read more

I have been going to his great clips for 5 years now and have always been pleased with my hair services. I do go to one specific stylist but have not ever had a bad experience with any of the other stylists. They are friendly, professional, and they keep a clean tidy, salon. Thank you for always making my hair look great! read more

I have had my hair cut twice now by Ariel and could not be happier. She is the first person that truly knows how to cut my hair. She is talented and a delight. Highly recommend her. read more

I got my hair done I asked for a trim and layers I had to go back to have them fixed because it was uneven my hair was to the middle of my back now it's just under my shoulders she took off over 6" of hair I will never be back again read more

Worst haircut ever. Do not use Isabel. Didn't talk, didn't ask any questions. Tore up my neck and upper back (never experienced that before) Will not be back read more

I should have paid more attention to the pricing. Was told it would be one price and it wound up costing double because everything is add-on. Buyer beware. I would have had a better experience at Tricoci at about the same price read more

The stylists seem nice enough but the newer employees can't speak English and don't understand what I'm saying.

Well, I had a pretty good experience at this salon. I walked in without an appointment and didn't had to wait more then 5 mins to get served by a great lady Jeanette . She was awesome, very entertaining while gently cutting my hair. She knew exactly what I wanted. Very good with faded hair style. I would recommend to all to ask for her. Thanks Jeanette! read more

Great place to go. Jen is awesome! This salon is clean, friendly and accommodating. Nothing but great service here.

LEAVE! GO ACROSS THE STREET TO BIZY CUT !! Rude!!! I called twice asking if they would give my child as haircut. They said as long as I came in before 6. I get it, it's Saturday and they wanted out. I came in at 5:58 (called at 5:51), all of the girls were so rude and icing me out until I left. Both of my small children said, "they were so mean mommy". My smallest daughter was already scared to get her hair cut and these awful talentless great clip scissor happy twits made her even more scared. Can't remember the last time my small children even picked up on someone being "rude", that's how obnoxious it was. Please don't give this location your money, the people that work there should have to find new jobs and actually work for a clientele. GO TO BIZY CUT!! It's across the street. Family owned!! The nicest most accommodating people ever! See Renata!!! read more

I feel bad for these businesses during covid, but this is now the second time in a row I bring my two sons with two stylists free and instead of taking them at the same time they take someone who checks in after us. So 3 people have to wait instead of the one person who should because they checked in later. When I asked nicely if I missed something as to why that happened, the stylist apologized and said she screwed up. Even though this was the second time, I could move on. Then when I paid for the two haircuts, one with a coupon and one with a prepaid card, the lady tried to charge me for both. Even though she acknowledged it was a prepaid card, she kept arguing I needed to pay for it again. It took 3 explanations before it clicked for her. This was the same lady that couldn't figure out how to ring me up for the prepaid cards in the first place 3 months ago. Good thing there are other locations because I'm not coming back to this one. read more

Dear Great Clips, Congratulations on giving me the worst hair cut I have ever had. I am very sad. Sincerely, The Guy Who Looks Like An Idiot With His New Haircut read more

Jen was very professional and did a great job on my haircut. I recommend this location.

Good haircuts and friendly staff. I've gone to several different barbers here and they're all pretty good.

I was in there about two weeks ago and received the worst hair cut of my life. I tried to make it work for a few days before I went back in for someone else to fix it.. the girl tried the best she could but ultimately said.."I'm sorry, you have to just let it grow.." I'm usually not petty about my hair.. but the front is so short that it doesn't fit in a pony tail and it's so choppy that it doesn't blend with with rest of my hair. I'm so aggravated. I will never go there for a hair cut ever again. Unless I'm looking to style my hair with a mullet. read more

A cheap haircut is not always a cheap haircut and this Great Clips makes this statement ring true. They make taming my cowlick as easy as licking a cow. What's really nice is the online checkin. I'm a huge fan. I did this today and didn't have a wait at all (of course --- there was only one person in a seat and a couple stylists available, so that helped also!!!) They always keep notes so you don't have to describe what you'd like done every time, even if you have someone new cutting your hair. This was the case today since my regular person was the one with the occupied chair. The lady who cut my hair had done it on previous occasion and remembered me. During my follicle-ular procedure the main topic was football (one of my favorite subjects ------ did she know I was writing a review later????!!) As we talked about Alabama's domination over Notre Dame, the firing of Lovie Smith, and how one of her favorite teams (Baltimore Ravens) beat one of my favorite teams (Indianapolis Colts) she did a pretty good job at making me look like a normal human being again (NOT an easy feat!!) Overall the haircut was pretty good ---- I'd give it a 8 out of 10. The price was cheap and the chat was engaging. Great job over all. I'll be back. If you're looking for a decent cut at a decent price, I'd give this place a Bob Taco Recommend. read more

Went to great clip on 75th in Downers grove been going there for years won t anymoreThey keep calling people that walk in befor me and they didn't have a appointment that not the way to run a business read more

I have no complaints about my stylist- Austin. She did a quick job and was friendly. I was in and out in a timely manner for a decent price. I did have an issue with another stylist there. I did not catch the stylists name but she worked to the left of Austin. The other stylist was cutting a young man's hair. When he left the stylist complained of her boyfriend wanting her to make more money but yet he wants her to wear turtle necks to work. I was appalled at this. A hair salon is not a bar or club. It is a family establishment. If this stylist feels she needs to wear sexy clothes at a hair salon to earn more money then she is in the wrong field. I could not believe this girl said this out loud. And there were kids in there. What is she role modeling? It was unprofessional and if this was my salon I would be ashamed at having people like her work there. Truly disgusted. read more

My preteen and teen boys whom are very particular really Love this place! They hate waiting so the sign in app is an absolute must for them. They love not having to wait and they are in and out! Nancy and Lucia do such great work with thick hair and do great fade every time. Quick consistent and local. read more

I have been going to great clips for 14 plus years every two weeks. The same one on 75th street in Darien. I am a very picky person and found the one true person (Adrianna) who for 12 of those years cuts my hair the way I want it! She has a great knack for also helping people pick styles for themselves that look good. She is a great asset to that store. That's not to say there are other great stylist, but I'm just picky! read more

Don't let anyone accept Adrianna, Nikki, Elizabeth, or Austin cut your hair here. They are THE best. Period. Watch out for Maria because she cuts your hair like your joining the police academy tomorrow. Super super short. I could buzz it myself for free thank you. Otherwise all around great haircut. I've been going here for 3 years. read more

A huge thank you to Jenna for giving my mom and grandma a great cut! We were pressed for time, but she was quick and they both have short hair...she made them look pretty! read more

I always get a great cut from a friendly stylist . My friends are always surprised when I tell them I go to Great Clips

The only reason why I'm giving a star here is because they have good customer service , the ladies here are very friendly and helpful , my problem with this place is the lack of experience , i have been here 4 times so far and after every haircut I have to go home and fix the line on the back of my head . Will never go there again read more

When I worked downtown, I paid $75 for haircuts at big-name fancy salons. When I stopped working, I decided I needed to pay less; I wear my hair very short and, because it grows like a weed, I need a cut every 3 - 4 weeks. After shopping around at some of the more reasonably-priced salons, I got lucky enough to meet Teresa, who is the manager of this Great Clips location. Teresa is FANTASTIC - her technique and expertise is equal to or better than that of stylists who charge multiple times what you pay here. I have been going to Teresa for months now, and my hair is perfect every time. Teresa is detail-oriented and never rushes. I get COUNTLESS compliments on my hair, and no one can believe it when I say I go to Great Clips. In addition, Teresa is the sweetest person ever - I love going in for my cut so that we can chat and catch up. She makes this salon a pleasant place - you feel like family when you go in. I definitely recommend Teresa and this Great Clips location!! read more

Good for a quick hack job of a haircut combined with a very disconnected staff whose silence let's you know they have no interest in you or their job. Just there to punch the clock and make a dollar or two in tips while there. Very dissapointing because this was a very friendly store untill recently. read more

The very worst hair cut I have ever gotten. Stefani was just awful. After 4 different attempts, l finally gave up and told it was great-I just wanted to get out of there and away from her. read more

Been going for 8 years never disappointed! Adrianna runs a great ship, hires the right people so if she's not there no concerns. I highly recommend this one over others. read more

I love great clips, the wait is never that long, and all the people cutting there are awesome! They do a great job every time. Especially a few! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick cut! read more

I recently received a $6.99 coupon to Great Clips ans decided to give it a shot and I was shocked IT WAS THE BEST HAIRCUT I HAVE EVER HAD! The staff was professional! I will definatley be back!!! read more
