We booked a spot on the waitlist and started service within minutes of reaching the first spot in line which was about 30 minutes. A great value for a trim vs the $110-150 local salons quoted. The value, service and cut did not disappoint. Krista is a great person and stylist! read more

Apple map took me to a different building. So I got there late little bit. Still my name was on the first of the top of the list and I will see after waiting five minutes. Very nice area parking is full of cars but there is always space Close to the road. The lady is good job on my hair. See picture below. Place was clean. They gave a lollipop to a girl before me. I personally am against sugar because it will cause DK. Next time please give her an apple or Clementine. But do not give her a lollipop unless it's sugar-free. read more

Great Clips - Decent number one haircut - Hair Salons Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

I'm so sorry to have to leave such a poor review but after two bad cuts for my daughter and one for my husband, I can say it wasn't just an off day for one hairdresser. My daughter came home with my husband after they both had hair cuts at Great Clips in PG. My husband has a couple of cow licks, so I completely understand the mishap with him. Although I also believe that a hairdresser should know how to minimize the cow licks with a good cut. But my daughter's hair was completely uneven. And not by a little bit. By A LOT, as in greater than an inch from one side to the other. So much so that my husband brought her back the next day for them to fix it. They did by a different hairdresser. I get it, completely understandable that maybe the hairdresser was having an off day. But, I brought my daughter the other day and after her cut it was again uneven. Enough that, in order to even it out, another inch or so had to be cut off. The location is adequate. It's in the same plaza as Lucky. I wasn't overly fond of how we were greeted, "Did you check in online?" No hi, hello, welcome in. Just an abrupt and somewhat unfriendly inquiry. And when I said, "no, I'm sorry I didn't." he huffed and sighed and walked over to type my name into the computer to add it to the list. Steer clear unless you're into the uneven look read more

Got a great haircut today from Eddie. I was a walk-in so I didn't mind waiting; that's normal anywhere. I checked in at 3:30 and was 9th in line, but I actually was finished with my haircut by 4:30. There were only 2 stylists working, but they were fast and experienced. I felt really comfortable just from seeing people's haircuts as they waked out. By the time it was my turn I knew it'd be a threats cut, and it was definitely that. Thanks Eddie, I found my new spot and it's down the block from me. read more

I've had two terrible experiences at this place. Yesterday I checked their hours online before going over. The hours posted online stated they were open until 7 PM. I arrived at the store at 6:05 PM. They were closed. The sign on the door also stated they didn't close until 7. An employee was working inside. He rudely yelled through the glass door "WE'RE CLOSED." I responded "all of your posted hours say you don't close until 7!" He responded "Yeah, but WE'RE CLOSED." Wow. Incredibly bad. read more

They always take forever and app time is never accurate. Will take long breaks regardless of how many customers are in the store or how long you've been waiting. They don't care and it shows. read more

You would think if you state your business hours you would abide by them. Twice now I've had to wait past the opening time. 10:15. And the it took her another 8 minutes to start seeing the waiting clients. Not even a hello. I should've left. Obviously no tip read more

Good cut by Brooke but she is not longer at the salon and didn't even mention it to her clients!

I've been coming to this location for years. My son doesn't do well with haircuts so I always stand near by for support the hairstylist Cathy told me to sit down she was so rude and I didn't even like how she cut my sons hair she was also talking to other customers as she was cutting my sons hair didn't even engage with me this is the first time I was ever upset when I left so very disappointed and felt like I was mistreated. read more

I was desperate for a haircut and my "lady" was on vacation. Decided "it's just hair" so I went to Great Clips. Julie cut my hair and I was hooked! She's great, and the price is amazing, even with a big tip. I'll stay here forever! read more

I cannot comment on the quality of a haircut at this branch of great clips, because I was never able to get a haircut in a timely fashion! I drove from Marina to great clips in PG as they had a better Yelp rating. I did not download and use there phone app as I didn't want to provide my email address and subsequently receive tendless email advertisements for years to come. Michael, I'm talking about you. This has happened with some other retail establishments. So, Without a reservation on a Thursday morning at 10:30 AM the wait time was over one hour. The reason for this extended wait time at such a unpopular time of the day, is that there was only one haircut person available at the store. The manager was not the least, but concerned, as she asked if I could wait over an hour for great clips haircut. to which I replied absolutely not. the Manager said OK, turned in went back to her whatever she was doing. I don't normally trouble myself to write yelp reviews but if they company is exceptional, either good or bad I will write a review. This is been one of the worst first impressions of any business that I've ever experienced. read more

Worst place ever. Walked in. Waited 20 minutes, not one person acknowledged me. After 20 minutes of waiting, I walked out. Their attitudes were HOSTILE! The gentleman that was working there appeared obviously upset-- just the way he was speaking to the man in the chair one could deduce he was very unhappy. The female never lifted her head to say hello. This is the last time I will ever go there ever again. read more

Pretty decent haircuts so far. The have a reasonable prices and usually I can find some coupons. The employees seem nice enough. I don't expect much from this place. I prefer this place over Supercuts on Alvarado street. If your looking for a quick haircut at a good value stop by this Great Clips location in Pacific Grove. read more

Brooke was absolutely wonderful! We were surprised and SO thrilled to see her at this location since she used to work at the other Great Clips at Del Monte Center before. She always welcomed us with a smile there and gave my son the best haircuts. Today was no exception. We walked in just a few minutes before they were closing and weren't sure if they could still take us- she immediately agreed to squeeze us in despite the fact that my son's hair is not easy to cut and takes a while- it is thick and curly and there's a ton of it!! She was patient and kind and was chatting and laughing away with him while giving him the perfect cut. You would never know it was the end of a long day for her. We were lucky she was there and couldn't recommend her more highly. Thank you, Brooke! We'll be back when he comes home again from college in May! :)) read more

Excellent job yesterday by Edward and friend. Made this request happen!! Erin did a great job trimming his brother as well. Always professional. Thank you!! read more

Erin is amazing did this total transformation. She was the only one in store who said she could do it. Three other people in store said they couldn't do it. She did a fantastic job! My son is deaf he only wants to go to her. She made him feel very relaxed and he trusts her. She took her time to look him in eyes so he could read her lips. Love her! AMAZING PERSON AND STYLIST. IF you have kids that have special needs. She is your girl. If you need a totally new do.... she is the girl. read more

I've been here on four separate cuts for myself (young adult male) and have been able to check in online, not have to wait when I get there, and get a great cut. I like how they keep track of your haircuts because I can never remember. read more

I checked my 2 kids in on line and it said it would be 153 minutes. I kept checking and the time was moving down normally, but right after it said 23 minutes it said N/A so I assumed our turn came up unexpectedly before the actual 2 hours and 33 minutes it had previously stated. I packed up the kids and rushed like crazy only to be told it would be another 50 minutes because the only woman there "had to take her lunch." I explained how the time was displayed in the check in, and she said that time is not exact (no kidding). This low rating is mostly for the website check in system which wasted half our day, but also the work ethic of the employee. read more

I've come here a few times and the stylists are always friendly. The hair cuts are not always "great clips" however. My most recent cut involved me getting twice as much cut off than I asked. It looked good but a bit long in one spot. I asked her to clean that up and she cut the whole area again another inch...ugh. I nicely commented she went too short and she said give it a week and it'll grow out. Ha! It'll grow out, true, but not in a week. Anyway, I'll be back but I don't expect too much. read more

Great Clips promotes online check-in. The site tells you approximately how long the wait will be and how many customers in front of you and supposedly has live updates. Don't believe it. I checked in for a 27 minute wait. Drove four miles to the store when there were 10 minutes to wait. When I arrived, my name was sixth on the list and the wait was posted as 50 minutes on the store screen. The cutter I spoke with said the staff had to eat lunch. What is the point of a live website that is anything but live? Won't go there anymore. read more

It will do if you're desperate. I've been there three times and I got a decent haircut the first time. I tipped more than 25% and I came back two more time and it has gotten worse. Eddy left my ear-line messy and I had to clean my neckline at home. I felt suckered for leaving a good tip and I won't be going back or recommending this place. read more

Another cute hair cut, by Lily. I haven't been disappointed here yet! I'll be back. Very nice.

Review is for Lucy. They do not ordinarily do wash and blow dry (with no cut). But they weren't very busy so Lucy said to come on in. I have my hair cut and colored at a full service salon/spa. But this was Labor Day. No one else open. I'd broken leg 5 days earlier. Hair was so dirty and I needed a pick me up. When my name came up, I felt the others were doing 'busy work' to avoid me. I guess they want to do those quick male haircuts. Then Lucy was free. She treated me very kindly. Did a great double hair wash. Used a quality smoothing product in my hair. The blow out looked terrific. Just what I wanted. Bless you Lucy. I would come back again for same thing. read more

Great check in system. Signed up for appointment on line on a busy Saturday, and arrived exactly at the time tracking system said it would be my turn. They literally called my name within 30 seconds of my arrival. Haircut was exactly what I wanted. Their system keeps track of prior cuts so you don't have to explain each time what you want. Stylist was friendly and efficient. Salon is clean and modern. Perfect blend of technology and personal customer service. Thanks Great Clips! read more

I come here with the woman I caregiver for. For a great grandmother, this works perfect. They remember her, are friendly, helpful and affordable. She isn't entering in any fashion shows, she just needs a haircut. Thanks all for the good customer service! read more

Wait times are long and inconsistent. See 20 minutes? Could be 30. Could be 50. Who knows? Same with haircut quality, often uneven. It's so surprising because they hate spending more than 10 minutes on my haircut. Some employees are decent, I've met two with very unattractive personalities. read more

"Great" Clips is just about the cheapest, fastest haircut you will ever get. Also about the worst. You get what you pay for. read more

This salon is owned/managed by the one in Del Monte Center and they are worlds apart. When I walked in for a haircut, a beautician was working on this beautiful Asian gal who was very particular. What floored me was that this Asian gal was another beautician! Her work station was covered in hair. The floor around her also with the remnants of another haircut, a used cape was hanging over her chair and the station looked just plain messy. Needless to say, I was shocked when this gal finished and then proceeded to tell me, "She'd be right with me." I asked for a manager. The manager turned out to be the gal who was cutting the Asian gals' hair! cutting her hair! I blanched and promptly departed.. I went directly to the Del Monte Center. Mentioned what happened to the fella cutting my hair - Eddie. He told me he was the manager of BOTH. I've not been back to this location since. In the past, I've used both Supercuts and a privately owned discount salon called Tru-Cuts. LOVED the Tru Cuts - it's a horror show at Supercuts.... . read more

Roxy at Great Clips is the BEST stylist I've encountered in Monterey. I have been to the Pacific Grove location several times and have been very fortunate to finally find someone in this town that can give an amazing haircut. I will no longer allow anyone else to cut my hair. She is amazing. read more

I usually check in online, but the online estimates are usually much shorter than the actual wait time once you get there. So even if the online check in shows 15 minutes, bank on waiting for at least 30 minutes when you get here. And you're lucky if they spend more than 5 minutes cutting your hair once you get in the chair! More frustratingly, if someone checked in before you online but doesn't show up until the second before they're about to bring you in, they will take the person who just walked in the door instead of you ***just because that person was ahead of you in the online check in***, even if you've also checked in online and have been sitting there in the salon waiting your turn for half an hour!!!!! Also, today they cut my hair and then sent me out without even bothering to blow-dry it. I'm not talking styling, I mean just a blow dry. I have long hair and it's the middle of winter. Sure, it's California winter, but it's not warm enough to be running around with a head of sopping wet hair. I'll be going somewhere else from now on. read more

Eddie gave me one of the best haircuts ever! Thanks so much. I will return next time we're in PG

They butchered my mother's hair and made her cry. She asked for her hair to be left long enough to put curlers in and the "stylist" hacked it off. She even went to far as to shave my mother's neck, that's how short she made it. The cut is more masculine than my nephews have :( When my mother complained she was blown off with the comment that the stylist had been in her trade 30 years- 30 years and my dog's groomer does a nicer cut!! read more

I just had my hair cut by Edward and I like to have my hair cut." with scissors," I said that he said it was to late and kept going with the clippers on the side of my hair! He cut the top with scissor. Very unhappy with the hair cut . I thought the computer tells him how I like it done. read more

It is always a pleasure to get my haircuts from this location. The Cosmetologists are always very friendly and welcoming. If there's a wait, it's worth it! I always check-in through the Great Clips App prior to leaving my house, which is another wonderful perk. They are in the process of hiring more hairstylists, which will help people who don't have the App, and also for those who don't like to wait. Very clean all-around (waiting area, main floor, and the restrooms.) Lucy is awesome, too! No matter who cuts or styles your hair, though, you will not be dissatisfied. read more

This place cant even do a simple fade. The hair stylist literally told me to go to a barber because her clippers can't cut that short. Overall she seemed rude and seemed like she did not want to cut my hair. read more

I walked in to get a hair cut and they told me that I had to check in online. The online check in is very misleading. I was told that I would get a call when my time came up and that never happened . It's 6 hours later and I still haven't got my haircut They should make clear how to use the online check in option. Not very friendly when I called up to ask how to get an appointment. Horrible customer service read more

Terrible experience did not honor the sign in sequence Much longer wait than advertised on the app app read more

I love Lucy!! Well I love her haircuts anyway. Perfection. She expertly cut my curly hair into a modern a line style and I could not be more happy with the end result. Highly recommend Lucy. read more
