My son needed a hair cut one night at it was 8:30pm. We decided to try and see if we could make it before they closed. We walked in and were greeted with a big smile from Rashari (spelling) she was absolutely charming. Not only did she give my son a great haircut, but she kept him smiling the whole time, and that is not so easy. I will def. be back. People who keep saying bad things expect too much for too little. It is Great Clips for goodness sake. JUST SAYING read more

As you wait in line for this place it's man after man, barking out simply 4 on top, 2 on the sides and on and on. I am a girl with a pixie cut, and a tight wallet, this is where I go and sometimes it's good and sometimes it's less than good. Today's was great, Jill, my stylist said she was excited to work on a girl for a change and it showed. This was the best haircut I have maybe ever had with my short hair. I can't speak for everyone else, but Jill, she knows what she's doing. read more

For some reason I decided to come back here after my hair was butchered the first time. I got the same guy again; I don't know his name, but he's the guy in his 50's that tells dirty jokes the whole time and doesn't focus on what he's doing. I specifically asked him to not touch my sideburns... now one is crooked and long and the other is rediculously short. My girlfriend had to clean up after the trashy job the guy did on the rest of the cut. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else... where? I have no idea, it seems like I can't get a good haircut anywhere around here. read more

As long as you get James to do your haircuts, you'll do fine. Everyone else there sucks.

I'm new to the area and needed a haircut without wanting to go over the hill (my go-to maneuver for most things). Figured this place was like a Super Cuts (Great-Super, Clips-Cuts, makes sense) and it turned out I was right. They could bear to update the stuffs on the walls, I guess, but was a $16 haircut so who really cares? I didn't have an appointment but the place wasn't terribly busy so I was helped rather quickly. The woman who greeted me and gave me a haircut was Catalina. I like my haircut, the conversation was pleasant, and it didn't take that long (I don't like to make a thing out of getting a haircut). Long story short, I found the people to be nice, they spoke my language (English..I don't know why other people seem to think they can't-don't), and I got a haircut that my wife complimented when I got home (though she did laugh at the grey hairs that are now more visible, apparently, though she assures me I wear them well). Go here if you need a haircut. If you're super particular, maybe go someplace that'd charge you a whole lot more. As for me, I'll be coming back. And, worst case, I'll remember that it's only hair; it grows back. read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE I AM STUPID FOR RETURNING! ANOTHER WORSE HAIRCUT EVER STORY! This time I promise I will never return to this place ever again, I live locally and if I cant make it to my regular barber I go to NOT SO GREAT CLIPS in Linda Mar Center, Pacifica. I went there three times, once with a gent named James I believe - Great Haircut. Then this lady who dropped the scissors twice during the same haircut then gossiping with the other workers not paying attention to the butchering she did. I told her to stop and she continued stating "it looks good this way" I told her in front of the other so called stylists that who cares what you think, its what I think that counts. She continued with the effin electric shaver thing. Next visit, missed my barber again - Another "stylist" who cannot effin cut hair with scissors or listen to when the customer says enough its too short! These people just don't pay attention to their customers, all they do it effin talk! She finally stopped cutting five minutes after I told her it was too short already. Next time, Im just going to get up when im getting a bad hair cut because these inconsiderate people don't seem to care... so why should I. I get home and the whole side of my head is shaved and 2 weeks later its even worse and needs to be fixed. Its about time this place closes down... the WORSE haircuts I have ever received and I will never go back ! PS: Must be a way to give ZERO stars to make a point... read more

Just wanted a simple hair cut. She could not even do that. I'll never take my family there ever again. They used to be good.

Told the woman exactly how I wanted it cut. In all areas. Just a trim. She ends up taking way too much off. Not even close to what I said. I know they have a guarantee but I would like it done right the first time. After all they are professionals. My opinion is she took off more to make it look like I got my money's worth. Told her I only wanted it trimmed. Back to the barber shop! They always get it right! read more

I recently had my hair cut here, very dissatisfied with the results. All I wanted was a half an inch off the top, off the ears and thinned in the back, I walked out looking like a fricking weed eater had been used. I will never go back! How hard is it to follow these instructions, I will be wearing a damn hat for the next month or so.I guess you get what you pay for anymore. read more

Decided to drop in on a whim. I needed a trim badly and was walking by. The woman who helped me, was very friendly but did not listen to my instructions. I asked for as little cut off as possible and slight layers. She took off 2 inches and just chopped away at the layers. Even when I expressed myself she says she's "just tidying it up" I also found the shop to be a little bit dirty and lots of hair everywhere. The clippers on the station where I was were also visibly dirty even though there was a can of barbicide right next to them. Like I said the woman was nice but I'm not coming back. read more

I don't come here to get my haircut, but I come here to accompany my grandmother. Working in an office of my own, I make it a priority to greet everyone who walks in with AT LEAST a "Hello" AND a smile. Walking in here today, I did not feel welcome at all. The lady working in the front just stared at my grandmother and me as I walked in and sat down, not acknowledging us. I had to be the one to say "hi" and check my grandmother in. The other times I have been here, we were greeted by a friendly "Hello, how are you?" with a big, beautiful smile. I expect a little more professionalism. 1 star off for that experience. 4 stars for the other ladies who work here and get the job done, making my grandmother look even more like the beautiful woman she is from the inside out. read more

I've been growing out the cut I got there for 6 months now. The woman was actually making eye contact with me in the mirror WHILE clipping away at my hair! Spend the extra cash - go someplace else. read more

Different people have different expectations when it comes to getting a haircut. While I'll admit that the consistency that you get at Great Clips can be lacking at times (probably because the turnover rate seems to be kind of high), I have to say that I prefer Great Clips to the other local options I've tried. Let me say, however, that I'm the sort of person whose hairstyle isn't terribly complex, nor do I care whether or not the stylist wants to talk to me. As such, I do absolutely fine at Great Clips. I'm in and out pretty quickly most of the time. If my haircut takes longer than expected, then it's usually another customer's fault for interrupting the process. No real complaints. I've tried other options, and I keep coming back to Great Clips. read more

Since mgt chased out the English speaking stylists, Nadia and Jim, I've decided to let my hair grow out. Today the stylist, who was super nice, cut all my hair off. I only wanted a trim. I could understand very little that was said to me but thought from the nods and expressions that only a trim was going to transpire. Another man was having the same issue with his stylist. I might just shave it off now. read more

Some of the hair cutters are really not professional at all. It seems like they hate their job.

I just got my haircut at Great Clips in Linda Mar....Gaynel is an exceptional barber, hairstylist. She took me right away, she is very professional, quick and detailed. Gaynel was very precise with my cut - used three different settings on her clippers She made sure all my hair was off my face, neck and ears. She's not a chatty gossipy stylist. Very very very exceptional. Thank you ...... read more

I recently moved to Pacifica (July 2012). After having read the many horrible reviews, I thought I would still give them a try (they have no other competition, such as Supercuts, in the area). Vanessa cut my hair - she was excellent and a joy to speak with. I believe they've made a number of changes in the past months, so many of the negative reviews are no longer applicable. Give them a try. read more

I took my toddler here for a haircut and was beyond disappointed with the results. My son was not squirming, but rather sitting very still in my lap. There was absolutely NO reason for such a hack job. This was his second haircut and I do know it will grow back but that is besides point. Never again will I set a foot inside this place. You can keep you cheap haircuts. It's true when they say you get what you pay for. You don't have to teach me twice. read more

I am so surprised by all of the negative comments, my experience was much different. My sister typically is the only person that I let cut my hair, but she is in Southern California and I was due for a cut a couple months ago. I was shopping @ Ross and saw that Great Clips took walk ins so I thought I'd go in for a "trim". I will say that I approached several times but chickened out. My third attempt I walked in and got James. He was amazing. He was very personable, asked me what I wanted, and gave me an amazing cut. He saw that I was so pleased, I explained my initial skepticism and he offered to enter my information in their data base, so I was sure to get the same cut the next time I went in. It's been over 2 months, my hair still looks great, but it's time to go back and take some length off. I'll let you know how my next cut goes..... read more

YIKES - the WORST haircut I have ever received. Apparently this place has changed hands, or so they were telling all the Seniors on Tuesday were there to get a $10.00 haircut. The $10.00 Tuesday rate is gone...hmmmm so are the usual stylists that were there. All new people who are clueless. I won't be returning... read more

I went in today to inquire about making an appointment for a perm. The hairdresser said she would check on the appointments when she was finished waiting on her customer. I sat and waited and waited, the customer told the hairdresser to go ahead and wait on me (so I could make my appointment and leave) the hairdresser said, oh, no. At which time I said I would be back later. Fat chance I will be going back there.Apparently they don't need my business. 3/22/12 - c.v. read more

I go to this Great Clips because my hair grows fast and I'm frugal and very easy to please with a haircut. I have wavy hair that I don't fuss too much with, so I have them trim it and put some layers in. Bam. Done. I do my own bangs at home, but I've always done that. $10-$20 with coupons and a tip and my money has been appropriately spent. Thanks, Great Clips! read more

Seems from the other reviews that this place is hit or miss, but when I went in, the owner Mona (sp?) cut my hair and she was super nice and did an amazing job, executing exactly what I asked of her. I usually go to much nicer places when I can but I needed a cut badly and everywhere else was closed. I took a gamble with this place and left very pleased! read more

All these "Hate" reviews? Come on, its a budget hair salon, what do you expect? I have been there many times, both for myself and my son, and have been quite happy with the results. Admittedly, I would not go there for special styling, but for straight forward trims, its a great value. It totally depends on who is cutting your hair, last time I was there just a few days back, Carla did a FANTASTIC layered cut on my hair. She was so sweet and patient, did not once say anything snarky about my thick tangled hair (which almost every other hair stylist has commented on, and not most kindly, either!) She even took time to put in more layers and made sure I was happy with the end result. read more

Its a quick haircut. But many times I have had the barber give an incorrect cut or seem like they were just trying to get out the door quickly without making sure the hair was even cut evenly. read more

I asked for bangs ..straight bangs to my eyebrows...lady cant even do it, too short now so im PISSED. Never going here again. I dont care if I have to drive far, im not coming here, I'd rather pay xtra. read more

Worst service I have ever received. Waited 20 min and then a family who came in was taken care of right away with no appointment. I left after this and will not come back. read more

Another bad online reservation story. I wanted to get there when the shop opened and Inam well versed with their online app. They open at 9am, so I tried checking in several minutes before 9 right before a I drive ther (3 minutes away). Can't check in as the app says they aren't open. Fine. I drive down and get checked in at 9am or 1 or 2 minutes past. Then 2-3 people come in after we are seated and are slotted ahead of us because they checked in online. Not great. I mentioned something in passing and let it go. Everything else is fine and while annoying, it's forgotten. I pay for the haircut and leave a nice tip and say "thanks!'. Not even thinking about the check in thing. At this point the Great Clips employee says that I should get the app and learn how to use it so I don't have problems. Huh? I explain exactly what happened and that I tried to use the app and come there all the time and and she tries to tell me I was wrong and should have waited to check in before I came down. Unbelievable. She proceeds to dig in and argue with me. 100% pointless and super insulting. There system is flawed - I have seen others have problems when I have been there. But going out of your way to argue and insult unnecessarily like this? I will never patronize them again. read more

This place has no clue as what customer service is. When I logged in I was given a 29 minute wait time. Given the 15 minutes it took to get there the wait time should be roughly 15 minutes; however the two people working there took 15 minute breaks back to back with people waiting. To make matters worse they operated some kind of "buddy system" claiming as people they knew arrived that they had logged in before me(if that were true i would have been given a longer wait time). Facing a one hour and 15 minute wait, I decide to leave before more people who had "logged in before me" showed up. There is no apparent oversight of how this slipshod operation is run. read more

Really wished we had checked out the reviews before my husband went there with our 4 boys. Out of 5 haircuts, only my husbands was what was asked for and worth paying for. All four boys have uneven haircuts, not shaved in back as asked, chunk and uneven patches. In short, just awful. STAY AWAY! read more

One of the worse experiences of my life. Rude, inconsiderate, impersonal, and very non professional. The employees and owner do not care about their customers and no preference to first time customers. read more

I received an absolutely perfect cut by Roshari (I think) early in November. I went back this week for a 2nd and again, she did a perfect job. Besides she is very entertaining while you are sitting there :) read more

My husband went in to get his hair cut, he had a big slice down to his scalp I said did you look in the mirror he looked james the hair dresser slipped when cutting around his ear and did not even tell him, My husband was upset, He had to go back and have Lida fix the whole job she had to buzz his side down and cut it short. I told my husband to only go to Lida she is the best she takes pride in every cut she does this is just a warning to not go that man he sucks!!! other then him the ladies there to a great job they need to give that man the boot !!!!! read more
