So, having posted plenty of other positive (and neg) reviews, I have no excuse for not having done this earlier. "When your eyebrows make you look like a professor, it's time for a hair cut" In no small part to the staff here with special thanks to Maria, and Alex before, for their skills, professionalism and warmth over the years. Hands down this one location has served me best. From other GC's to their competitors, from $5 barbers to $50 stylist (tip not included), I really don't need to go anywhere else. Here at Great Clips Nassau Park blvd I consistently get a hair cut that makes me look my best. Of course the true test of a good hair cut is if it still looks good a day or two later. I only hope in posting that I can still get time in the chair. Note: If you get a cut you really like take pics so you can show your next barber, stylist or if you like coiffureier. Thx Maria!! See you again when I can braid my eyebrows again. read more

Do not go to the Great Clips on 649 Nassau Park Blvd Unit 22A, Princeton, NJ 08540. The stylists are very rude. Would not recommend ever coming here. read more

Just had a haircut from Maria and she's the best! She knew exactly what to do with my hair and gave me an amazing cut, along with some great conversation -- thanks Maria!! read more

I have been a client of Maria at Great Clips , Nassau Park for almost 20 years. I have recommended her to friends and family and all are as pleased as I am. She listens to her clients to determine what the client wants and she gives a haircut that is perfect. I give her my highest recommendation. read more

Great Clips, 649 Nassau Park Blvd Unit 22A, Princeton, NJ 08550. Worst place, no customer service, barber is really bullying me and looks not willing to do the job. Never again this place. Hope someone from great clips is watching this. Not recommended. read more

Of course when I get there on a Friday at 4 the lines are building... but I don't really have time to go other times. Maria kept things moving efficiently and also listened when she asked me how I would like things done... read more

I walked in one evening since my normal barber had too long of a wait. Maria was FANTASTIC and knew exactly what to do with my hair without me explaining. She hyped me up while she was cutting my hair and I left feeling confident in myself and style. I've ditched my old barber for this place instead. Maria is the best!! There's minimal wait if you check in online in advance. 100% recommend--I tell all my friends to go to Maria! read more

I can't say anything nice. This entire experience was mentally jarring. The woman rushed the haircut when a second customer arrived. It was a buzz cut, that's what I left with. Not what I requested. The woman somehow charged me $30 for this. I was literally robbed of my hair. 5-7minutes in chair $30, hair was completely taken. read more

Rushed haircut, nothing like what was requested. Entered with a full head of hair, left with a full BUZZ CUT. One employee was in the front. 5-8 minute haircut made shorter when another customer came in. The stylist saw him and immediately checked out of my haircut. Instead of finishing mine, or atleast trying to clean it up, she took it on herself to buzz my entire head. Lesson learned. read more

Great Clips - What was left. - Hair Salons Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

Degrading every day. I think because they get a lot of customers, quality is going down. My haircut was done in less than 2.5 minutes. She did not care of my opinion :( Upsetting that these kind of employees work at GC. read more

Maria, the manager, knew exactly what I wanted for my haircut after a little description. She is a delightful conversationalist. I'm very happy with my cut. read more

The staff at Great Clips in Princeton are amazing. First and foremost, do yourself a favor and check-in online using the app because this will save you copious amounts of time. I often check-in on the app and go shopping next door at Wal-Mart or Dollar Tree until I know my time is ready to get called next in line for my perfect cut. The stylists listen to all of your needs when you are sitting in their chair. This is crucial because my needs change. My hair cuts are always on par. One of my favorite aspects of this location is the manager, Brittany. She remembers everything about my hair cuts and she is my preferred stylist, but also has a huge following of clients. Great Clips in Princeton is a gem, so do yourself a favor and stop going to Supercuts. read more

Asked for 2 inches and she cut off FOUR. basically gave me a bowl cut, then made a rude comment when I only tipped her 2 dollars. Don't come here. read more

Went this morning for a haircut. I have been to this location 2-3 times but with mixed results with couple of different stylists Today was 1st time I was fully satisfied with the haircut. Thanks to Chelsea for providing a quality cut. She is polite and easy to talk to and before was done asked me if length in front was ok Again thank you Chelsea read more

PARENTS BEWARE! I have never left a review like this, and I hope to never again. I feel bad, because I have never had a bad experience here, and I have had my haircut at this location numerous times. But I brought my 7yo daughter in today, and we are both devastated by what happened. My daughter is shy and quiet, and honestly is super reserved and well behaved in public. While we were both getting our haircuts (across the shop from each other) I noticed a few times in the mirror that it appeared the woman cutting her hair was being a little firm with her when she (the woman) was moving her head around. I thought I was probably just overthinking it, and to my DEEP regret, did not interject. By firm I mean I saw her correct her positioning (head and body) in ways that seemed rough and almost irritated. I really really am ashamed of myself, because I was so ignorant and trusting that I really thought for sure I was just being overprotective. We finish up, and I pay and collect my daughter who was being quiet and reserved (as was normal) in the chair. The last thing I witnessed was the woman after showing me her finished haircut for approval, removing the drape from my daughter, who then started to scoot forward to get off the chair. My daughter is 7, tall, and fully capable of getting off of a chair. This lady reached out and grabbed her arm and pulled her off the chair. I was really surprised, and in my shock tried to tell myself 'maybe she thought she would fall? and wanted to help her?...' in my head. I took my daughters hand and left the shop. Once outside we walked about 10 feet and I asked her if she liked her haircut. She BURST into tears. And I mean SOBBING, full body shaking crying. She told me that the woman was REALLY rough with her, hurting her over and over, and at one point even PULLED HER HAIR. My daughter has had numerous haircuts, with multiple stylists. She has NEVER said anything like this before EVER. She had been looking forward to this haircut for WEEKS because she wanted a short haircut, and was super excited to go. I went back into the shop and walked up to the lady and told her that my daughter said she had pulled her hair, and that I wanted her to be aware that she had been too rough. She told me, and I am SERIOUS, that the reason it hurt was because she had thick hair. When I again told her she needed to be more careful with children, especially shy children, she came back with "I am the one who has to make sure I do not cut their ears" implying that she had to be firm with my daughter. Complete Bull. My daughter does not wiggle or squirm, and EVEN IF SHE DID!!! THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR BEING SO ROUGH AND CAUSING PAIN TO A CHILD!!!!!!!!!!!!! I and my daughter were so upset we literally just hugged and cried together in the car for a bit before leaving. Nothing even close to this has ever happened to any of my 3 children before. I am still in shock, and despite the fact I am sure it was that 1 woman, we will NEVER step foot in that place again. read more

ALEX have been cutting my hair for over 10 years. He is a great hair stylist, he respects and treat every customer well. He has a great book of clients because of his amazing service. I highly recommend ALEX read more

This is a depends... depends on who you get. Some winners and some unfortunate shear incidents. When they don't listen to what you want, expect fixes when you get home. But there have been good conversations?.. read more

Been a loyal Great Clips customer but lasy Visit was my Worst experience the hair stylist doesn't listen what you need ,was impolite and made my decision of not coming to the nassau Park blvd NJ easy.Great clips has forgotten customer service inspite of hiling prices.Time for finding another hair salon...... very very disappointed!!!!!! read more

I have been going to this location for years! Never disappointed, Alex is kind, friendly and talented. My whole family knows that when you go to Alex, you will walk out happy each time and feel like you are seeing a friend after all these years. Thank you Alex, see you in a couple months!! read more

Terrible hair cut. Never going there again. I went on a Sunday noon, it was very crowded, so they wrap you up as soon as possible. They don't care about the quality of haircut, just the quantity. If you are willing to sacrifice your looks for $15 then this is your place. But just be prepared to regret going there. Wish we were allowed to rate -ve stars. This was a lady in late 40's, free hair. She didn't know what she was doing, switched back and forth between scissors and trimmer. She only took 5 mins for the whole haircut, she deserves Guinness for breaking the record because nobody has ever done so quickly in 25 years. I thought she was getting started but she said she is done, I was surprised and I told her on side it looks so uneven, then she tried to do something and it became even more uneven. read more

Janet cut my hair today - Totally messed it up. I asked for a 3 on the sides and back, and not very short for the top. She went 3 all the way to the top. Does not understand what a slope is. Have been getting my hair cut for a while and there have been slight dissatisfaction in the past. Todays was the absolute pits. Never going back.. $17 for this embarrassment. read more

Great haircut from dawn Place was clean reasonable and fast. Also you can check in online. Coupons and promotions keep costs reasonable read more

My stylist did not listen. I asked for 3/4 inch off the top and she cut off much more. When I asked to keep more hair, she told me "I know what I'm doing." I have to pay to get my hair fixed somewhere else, not worth it read more

The place is great. Very friendly staff and they do amazing haircuts. This place is highly recommended.

Update: Maria was one of the two stylists in my 2018 review. She has been cutting my hair each time now for probably two years and I get consistently great cuts that continue to look good as my hair grows out for the next 6-8 weeks before I return. Use the app to check in and you can see how long it will be before they are ready for you. Once you arrive you will be taken before any of the walk-in clients. read more

I have had a few okay experiences here, but in general I am extremely disappointed by the haircuts. I asked the barber to trlime my bangs and she widened them a half inch on either side. When I said they looked a bit wide she was very defensive and insisted that she hadn't changed them at all. Payed $20 to go home and try to fix it myself read more

Good professional service with all the precautions for COVID-19. The reservation system online is a breeze and works as intended.

Dawn did a phenomenal job. Came in after just getting a bad haircut at a barber and she was amazing. Fixed my hair and was a pleasure to talk with. Can't recommend her highly enough! read more

Great service. Bianca, The sweet lady working here is awesome. She did great job on my hair. Plus, I noticed the staff is taking necessary precautions considering COVID situation. read more

I went in here and asked for them to clean up my undercut which has a VERY simple line pattern in it. They told me it would be about so hour, so I put my name on the list and decided to do the hour wait for what is a 4 minute hair cut. When they finally called me back I showed the lady what I wanted and she proceeded to tell me she wasn't going to do it. Another employe then joined in saying they aren't allowed to do designs and that I needed to go to a barber. Keep in mind I originally got my undercut with a design at a great clips and every touch up since then had been at a great clips. Don't go here unless you want to waste an hour of your life. read more

This place Sucks big time, the woman who works in the front desk has a very bad attitude towards customers. I checked in online 75 min earlier and I went 5min before my check in time. My name was not there in the monitor.. When I told her that I put my name online 70 min before, she gave a weird look and said the system won't take up names that you enter after 75 min. What?? Then why the heck you accept check-in, am I a stupid to wait for so much time. I've been to great clips numerous times in my life, they couldn't pull-up my account with my phone number or name, she added me to wait list which had 20 names already. Sucks big time. Never ever coming to this shitty place in my life. read more

Have started going there for almost a year now. It's a nice and clean place and located conveniently in the Nassau Blvd shopping center. I recently discovered that they have an online check-in system and started using it ever since. No more waiting in the queue. I find the people to be professional. I like the fact that they learn about your preferences and save them so next time you visit whoever is attending to you would know what your preferences are and will read out to you. You don't have to explain again and again! I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a hassle free service. read more

Great prices. The haircut I got was mediocre, but I'll gladly take that over the very expensive haircuts offered near campus.

WORST HAIRCUT I'VE EVER HAD. I have short hair and usually no one has any trouble trimming it. Plus, I usually never complain if it's a cut I can walk around in public with. Not here. Crooked hairline, uneven fade, patches of longer hair. One friend said it looks like half of a mohawk. I came here to save money and ended up spending twice as much getting it fixed at a salon. Don't go here. read more

For such an incredible price you'd think the worst--DON'T. Awesome stylists who have lovely personalities. Visited this location when visiting family for the holidays. Terrific experience. Will definitely visit again when in the area. Visit this location NOT the Princeton Shopping Center location--that store is a nightmare. read more

Horrible! I asked for 1 inch off trim She took off 2-3 inches instead Not the brightest bulb in the bulb box My hair looks dreadful Not great... Great Clips read more

Do not recommend this place. Very unhappy as my long layers ended up being short messy bob after the hair cut.

I was new to the area and went here due to the price. The first 3 cuts were actually really good then I had a lady that had shaky hands that took forever and kept re-cutting one side more than the other (She was alone and had to answer the phones). I paid and left but when I looked in the mirror I was extremely disappointed so I went to the other Great Clips in Pennington. I asked them what they thought - The 2 girls kind of laughed and said you need a cut its at that point i explained what happened. One of the girls volunteered and did a Fantastic job. My hair was a lot shorter than I wanted but they did it for free and I am very happy. I always go here and get a great cut and service every time. I probably just caught the other lady on a bad day but I am sticking here. read more

Alex does the best men cuts. He has been my stylist for many years... I highly recommend him. Please don't forget a good tip for a great clip. read more
