Totally acceptable great clips. They're quick, they're nice, and they're convenient. If you're not happy with your $17 haircut, there are places that are ten times as much, and I'm sure that you'd be happier with the end result... sometimes. Seriously, this is a cheap haircut for people who aren't particularly "into" themselves. read more

My dad took advantage of the $4.99 deal after using a coupon for it's grand opening. He wanted to find one for me but actually ended up finding it AFTER I got it cut later on in the day. He did find a $7.99 coupon online so I took advantage of that. I can't remember the guy cutting my hair but he was very friendly. At first, I was a bit disappointed that a guy was cutting my hair. No, I'm not sexist. I just felt like if a woman cut my hair, she can relate more to my need/wants and can give me a woman's perspective. He asked what I wanted and I told him I wanted to keep my length but he can trim 2 inches, I want layers starting just below my chin, and my hair thinned out. Now, I've been cutting my own hair since my freshmen year of high school and always used my grandmother's supplies (she was a barber) so I knew exactly what he was doing and if he was doing it the way I wanted it. To achieve the v-shape layers and to trim my hair, he used this comb with blades on it (I've never used that before) and double checked with me to make sure it was how I wanted it. Check. Then he took his sheers and layered my hair and showed me where each layer started and if I wanted it more dramatic. Check. Finally, he thinned out my hair with the thinning sheers and then made a final confirmation that I liked it. Check. To sum it all up, I was happy. I've only stepped into a hair cut place a couple of times and always ended up unsatisfied with my haircut and usually feel like they cut way too much off. Not this time, my hair feels lighter and healthier. Thanks for a great deal! read more

I've been coming to this Millbrae location for 8 years now and with each visit, I leave with full satisfaction. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating of your needs. Give this place a try if you haven't already. Tom is my go to guy but everyone here is gifted. read more

I've always had great haircuts here. Laura is personable and has done exactly what I ask in regards to the cut. Couldn't be more pleased with my experiences over the many years I've gone there. I have recently taken to checking in online, really does help if you happen to hit a busy time in the salon. read more

Great place to get a haircut! Linda is awesome! She really takes the time to cut your hair the way you like it to make sure you are satisfied, even though it can get very busy! Definitely want to go back and have her cut my hair again! read more

I got a horrible haircut today. Not everybody there is professional and lack of customer skills. Only one gentleman does excellent hair cut; he makes sure the customer is happy; the others will give you a buzz cut to get you out of the door quickly. Save your money and spend it elsewhere. read more

See all

Asked for 1 inch off the top and basically took everything of, pretty close to a buzz cut. It was as if the worker was just saying "ok" to everything I was requesting not actually listening to me and simply cutting away. Will not be returning. read more

After growing out my hair until my waist, I finally decided to get a trim to take off split ends, add layers and trim my bangs. I usually go to Great Clips in San Mateo, but decided to try this location out. Tom is the person who cut my hair, and he did a great job. Asian hair isn't always the easiest, and it doesn't help that my hair was crazy long! I told him I wanted long layers, thinned at the bottom, and a v-shape. He stopped periodically to make sure that he was doing what I wanted, which was awesome! I never had any problems with what he was doing, besides telling him to take off more. It came out just the way I wanted, and I will definitely be back when it gets long again. read more

As simple as it can be the place people attitude sucks i checked at the register before online and they made me wait. Ive been coming here since the last 9 months that i can tell to get a crappy hair cut until i got to tell them and been rude about the hair cut. Today i made it trying to get my hair cut for sure and i made it on time. I got put on hold for time and i dont think i deserve to be waiting for long and this people still told me online its first when a few time i told them that i sign online. What a crappy people. read more

I just wanted to update my review. Last time I went they claimed I didn't have haircut information in their database. I think there's a discrepancy between checking in online and checking in the actual physical store because I've had my information in the database many times before. Maybe because this place is new, the stylists are completely hit or miss. If you find one you like here, find out their schedule if you really care about your hair. I've found though, the majority of people working here (I've had my hair cut here maybe 6-7 times), that I only had 1 that was dreadful and 1 that was so-so questionable. The rest have been definitely above par. I think they're still ironing out the kinks with the staff probably. The dude who butchered my hair last time doesn't seem to be there anymore. read more

I have gotten my haircut here a few times now and Shama usually cuts my hair. She does a great job and will always get me in when I need it. She never rushes through the haircut either which has happened to me at other salons. A great thing is the coupons and how they usually always have some kind of deal going on. With the economy like this, we can all use a break. I am glad there is a Great Clips in Milbrae now, it makes it easy and convenient. You should definately check it out and take advantage of their great deals. read more

This salon just opened up and was offering a $4.99 haircuts. I could not pass that up so I brought my 5 year old son in. I loved that it's brand new ands super clean. The staff were friendly. The wait was about 10 minutes. The cut for the price was not bad. I would not pay their regular $16 price, but if they are offering specials for $4.99 I will be back. read more

NOT IN A MILLION YEARS WOULD I STEP FOOT INTO THIS PLACE AGAIN. (with or without a coupon) I wanted a trim, easy & simple but they screwed up- The lady that cut my hair took around 10-15 minutes only. She did not know how to work the asian hair and ruined my layers and bangs. My layers are not asian layers now and she didn't even know how to layer hair. She just took strands of hair and started cutting it- straightly. Hello lady- I can do that MYSELF at home, I wanted REAL layers. OH AND my bangs, they're not even "side-swept" bangs, actually they are "side-swept"bangs, but with no dimension or shapes, just straightly cut (again) WTF. Now, my hair is all messed up and I gotta go back to a REAL salon to fix it. (I can't wait!!!!) :) read more

I have had my hair cut while sipping champagne on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, El Paseo Drive in Palm Desert and on 5th Avenue in NYC. I've paid anywhere from $75.00 to $165.00 for a trim and I have to say that LINDA H is absolutely the BEST cutter ever. Both my boyfriend and I have had our hair cut by LINDA for 2+ years now and we have never been disappointed. She listens to what you want and follows through but she will also recommend a great cut dependent upon your features, as she did for me. I would much rather sit in a chair with a Dixie cup full of water knowing that every time I'll get a great cut, than to sip champagne out of a crystal flute wondering if the hair dresser heard a word I said. I, also, want to point out the fact that she was extremely careful sterilizing everything she came in contact with, so I felt totally comfortable. It is difficult to find a really good hair cutter and so we will follow LINDA to the ends of the earth if we have to! read more

Very rude and disrespectful. Very disappointed. Took my brother in for a haircut. They asked if we are a member i said yes and wanted to give my phone number and she asked me rudely who is getting the haircut if not you then give your brother's number. I was taken aback since we live in the same place why does it matter. Second thing we did not try to mess with her item on the shelves. We were trying to smell one of the product the lady yelled at us saying do not put your finger. She was just very disrespectful!! I wish I could give zero stars. read more

Called in today to see if they had any walk-in's. Shama answered the phone and was able to check me in. She also mentioned that I can also check in online which is a great feature they have. As soon as I walked in, I noticed how clean the place looked and also to mentioned that their bathroom is very clean too :) Now to the haircut, Shama did an awesome job. I always forget which number I use for my sides. Another great feature is that they actually keep a record of the haircuts you get. This allows you to walk in and know you are going to get the same haircut. Unless of course you wanted a different style, which I'm sure they can pull off. This will be my new spot to get my haircut. GREAT JOB Great Clips!!! read more

Well you get what you pay for Both times I've taken my daughter for a basic straight cut I have found the service lacking. It would be nice if you felt you were getting the style you wanted and were happy with, than what you were given. Both times the hairdresser said a version of "I'm not cutting it again" My son has also had his hair cut here. All in all you need to go in with a picture of what you want or they are going to cut exactly how you ask not style it into a nice haircut. Those 2 times I have left thinking I could've done that myself at home. Dr Fade a few blocks down is amazing if you need a good boy/men's cut and don't mind paying twice the price. read more

Linda is amazing. Ask for Linda. She relieves all stress related to hair length. Gave good tips to manage my hair too. I was donating my hair to locks of love, and she knew exactly how to cut... read more

Great Clips - Millbrae - Amazing Lob (by Linda) - Hair Salons Near Me - Millbrae, California

I've recently had my haircut at Great Clips in Millbrae and had such a wonderful experience. Ive had LAURA, LINDA and TOM cut my hair in the past and all 3 are professional stylists and cut with such precision. I am a barber myself and I'm extremely particular. I highly recommend all 3 stylists. Thank you Great Clips in Millbrae, I will be back soon! read more

Came here because I got a $4.99 coupon for their grand opening special. My haircut was only 10 minutes long. I wanted 1 inch cut off, layered, and thinned. The hair stylist cut my hair, hardly layered it, and forgot to thin it. I had to remind her. Not worth the $16 regular price. OK if you have a coupon and you really don't care what kind of haircut you end up with. Don't expect a super nice job. Also, they were really busy and didn't really want to spend time on me. Staff was not friendly. Either that or because I had a coupon. read more

I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a good haircut for a good price. The first and foremost thing I look for in a salon is the cleanliness. I really liked how this place was spotless and each of the stylists' stations were also neat and organized. Every time I visit this place I am immediately greeted by the friendly staff. I never have to wait more than 10 min for my turn. I always get my haircut by Tom. He has many years of experience, but most importantly he knows how to cut hair the way I want it done. Tom also recommended some great hair products that the salon sells. I was hesitant at first to buy the product, but since it was at a good price I went for it. I must say that I do not regret the purchase. I always get compliments on my hair from other people. I always recommend this place to all my friends and family. I even bring my son and husband here for their haircuts. read more

I've found a quick fabulous little shop to get my hair cut. No wash, no colors no bells and whistles just a great cut! The star is Laura Campbell! She listens, knows what you want, is fun to talk to and does a wonderful job. Better than any hairstylist around, all for under $20.00 can't keep her a secret anymore!! read more

We LOVE Shama ! She does an EXCELLENT job on my family! We are staying with Great Clips... and Shama ! Please see my other reviews regarding haircuts!! thanks read more

Simple trim, in and out. I received what I asked for. I don't know how many times I've gone to a barber/hair salon and they want to thin my hair. They say it's too thick! Or they give their haircut version instead of what I want. Kudos to great clips for keeping track of such things. They know what I've received before. Although I didn't get my usual, just a trim today. I don't know the gentleman's name who offered exactly what I asked for, but thank you and good job! read more

Never again I paid $19 plus $3 tip for a five minute hair cut. All the stylists did was tangled my hair even more. I got a great hair comb. After when I looked on the floor to see how much hair was cut off she told me my color of my hair matched the color of the floor that's why i don't see a lot of hair. read more

Bringing my son for the first time to come here, I showed a photo of the hair style and she cut his hair almost same as the photo. I am happy to choose here. Just remember, kids over 11 are as an adult. It costs $18. read more

I've been going here regularly for about a year now and have nothing but good things to say about the haircuts I've gotten from Tom. He's professional and friendly, and not too chatty during the haircut (which I like), and doesn't push products on me. I have gone once or twice and gotten haircuts from others, and was not as happy. One guy in particular gave me a really uneven cut and I had to go back a week or 2 after to get another haircut because it was driving me nuts. I usually go about once every 5-6 weeks. Another nice thing about the location is that the wait time is usually slim to none when I go on weekends. The Daly City location by contrast usually has decent waits. For men's hair cuts go with Tom and you'll be fine. read more

Worst hair cut ever she took less then 10 mins to chopped my hair and finished it, when i wanted to check on for quick fix my hair, she forced me to get off from my chair and pay it read more

the customer service is horrible, they do not follow the instructions you give them for the cut, and 2 people from the place do a terrible job read more

Took my daughter in for a haircut. Tom helped to cut her hair and spent literally 3 minutes to complete her cut. He spent 30 seconds to brushed her hair, 10 seconds to water spray the ends, then another 2 minutes to cut it straight across. I asked him to give it some layers on the side, and he spent another 20 seconds to trim a few strands off the side. That was $16 for 3 minutes of cut that I could do better myself in 2 minutes. Do not waste your money. read more

When I was little, my hair was really short and curly. I hated it. My mom forced me to keep it short and it was a source of bullying. The moment I was allowed to grow it out enough I put it up and away, and then didn't deal with it for years. I even cut it myself. About a year ago, I decided to start trying to seriously grow it out. I started going to Great Clips regularly, getting trims to keep it healthy. Most of the time it was just fine. I'm also BLIND without my glasses (almost literally), which puts 100% trust on the haircutter, but they could all easily do a trim with layers. Over the course of a year, the hairdressers here were great, and I grew my hair out past my shoulder blades and started to like it. I started recently wearing it down, even. This is something I haven't done since middle school (I'm coming up on my thirties, so that's 18 years of baggage). I was starting to build a relationship with my hair (on a budget). I walked into this store recently and the lady started this off by trying to insist on cutting off three inches, instead of the 1-2 it needed. Then she turned into Satan and cut off over a year's worth of work. It's literally over seven inches, gone. I'm not at square one, it's even shorter than square one. I felt my hair as I walked to my car and then burst into tears. (She also started blow-drying my hair without asking, which I feel is a stupid move. Please don't damage my hair with random heat? Haven't you done enough?) When dry, it used to fall past my shoulder blades; now it's about shoulder length (again, I have curly hair, so that is a lot of hair). I can barely put it into a bun. I honestly don't know how someone can mess up this bad. Regrets: I still tipped $6 because I hadn't noticed and try to treat workers right. If I could go back in time and was more confrontational I'd demand a refund. I know, it's $18, but holy sh*t I hate this lady. I sat on this review for several days but nope, I'm still heartbroken and mad. Never going back. Four stars for the slow build, minus two for the utter betrayal. The only reason it's not one is for the other hairstylists who could tell the difference between 2 inches versus over half a foot. I have to give THEM something. read more

I got my haircut here recently by the tall older white guy with gray hairs (I forgot his name) and what a Nightmare !!! He was totally unprofessional and he was flirting with me and he kept asking if I had a boyfriend. Then he was very persistent and he kept asking me if he can take me out to dinner because he said that he is a divorced man. And I don't appreciate him touching my neck in a creepy manner. I'm very traumatized. Don't come here if you want a pervert to harass you and bother you. read more

I have been to this place 4 times and 2 of which, I got a butchered cut. The only one that's good is the woman, who I think owns the place. The two men who cut my hair just could not do a decent job. I mean, it's cut around my sides and the top. It's so basic. Never going back here again. read more

I just received one of the best haircuts of my life. The hair cut was fast and the lineup around the neck and ears was perfect. Very friendly and comforting place. Easy check in and hardly any wait. Loved it. read more

Tom is a straight up savage. I've visited dozens of barber shops over the years, paid upwards of $80 for a cut, all in search of the elusive "regular white guy" hair cut. Just nice and neat and short on the sides, with a little bit longer on the top. Nothing crazy. No place has been able to do it to my liking. Cheap places are sloppy, expensive places leave too much. I decided to give this place a shot and came in one day. It may've been a coincidence but the barber, Tom, had the EXACT haircut I was looking for. I said "cut my hair so that it looks like yours". 20 minutes later I had the perfect haircut, for 20 bucks including tip. I think they have this computer system where they input how they cut your hair, so every time I go back, I get it cut the same way. All in all, great cut for a great price. Highly recommended. read more

Simple. No waiting time or whatsover. Went there right after gym, my hair was wet. The hairdresser did good job with my hair and the price is sooo reasonable read more

I went here for a trim, my hair is very easy to cut. I was assigned to the woman with long tacky brown permed hair who looks Philipino and she totally ignored my request for a trim, I expressed in horror about the length she cut unevenly. Now I look like a five year old at picture taking time of year Christmas, because she took off 5 inches instead of one and more had to be cut by the manager to fix the uneveness. The manager still charged me after I explained to her the cut is not what I asked for. No apology from the hair dresser, incredibly unprofessional. If you care about how you look don't go to that woman. This review is solely based on haridresser and manager, and not the other hair dressers. read more

The worst haircut I have ever had and it is crooked in the back shorter on one side of my head then the other side will never go there again

I had such a great first experience with Great Clips in Millbrae. I was in desperate need of a haircut and they fit me into the schedule quickly. Great conversation with my hairstylist and a clean and warm atmosphere made for a wonderful first experience. Will be coming back in time for my next trim! read more
