Darlene not only gave me exactly what I requested but did so as if it was easy. No drama or unnecessary flare. The cut is perfect. So happy. Thank you so much. read more

Came in for a light trim around my head and my bangs were basically cut completely off, all volume gone, will take weeks/months to grow back. Feel embarrassed to go outside now. Couldn't tell if she was distracted while cutting my hair or just completely ignored my request or both. read more

Brought 2 kids in for haircuts. They were the WORST haircuts ever. Stay away from this place. I don't know what to do with them. I need to bring them somewhere else to get them to look better. It will take months for this disaster to grow out. read more

I would have recommended this location up until my last visit. I had an awful experience here. The person who cut my hair was rude, she actually tried to argue with me which I refused. She made me so uncomfortable I wanted to leave in the middle of my haircut but didn't. All I get done is basically a trim. She didn't do what I asked..The haircut is terrible, I told her I trim my own bangs in between haircuts and she was so snotty and said "Believe me, I can tell!" When she said I was done, I told her she hadn't cut my bangs yet, and she basically yelled "Yes I did!!" And I was so embarrassed but I kindly asked her to please cut them shorter then. She hadn't cut my bangs but I wasn't going to argue with this nasty woman. I have been going to this location for quite a while. Never had a bad experience before. Unfortunately I didn't get her name but I can describe her. ..A little chunky, dark brown thick hair parted on the side a little longer than shoulder length. About 40 years old or so. Snotty as hell. I will never go back to this location ever again. I'm very mad at myself but I still tipped her $10.00 which I definitely should not have. This person should be fired!!! read more

I recently had a haircut done by Nicole, at Great Clips in Riverdale. I couldn't be happier--she did a fantastic job. My thanks to her!

I asked for face framing layers with a curly cut which is supposed to be done dry on curly hair so you can see what the shape, volume, & definition looks like when you style it. The person cutting my hair decided that they wanted to wet my hair and cut it even though I specifically asked for them not to, they were also very rough with my hair. When I got home and styled it myself for the first time I noticed how choppy and uneven it looked. Not to mention while I was in the salon they were extremely unwelcoming and even got my name wrong when they called me up to get my haircut. If you have any type of waves, curls, or coils do not even waste your time and money here, if I could give it 0 stars I would. read more

This was my first visit to the Great Clips salon. I didn't really expect much, but I needed a haircut. As luck would have it, my stylist was Michele and she did an awesome job. The cut is exactly what I wanted (blunt bob). Perfect length. A great precision haircut! Michele used some techniques I hadn't seen before. Highly recommended, especially if you have unpredictable, tough, weird, uncooperative hair...like mine. read more

Took my son here for a haircut... they cut the back of his year and told him to stop crying... HE'S 4 YEARS OLD... F**k this place... 0 stars and never to return read more

DO NOT BRING YOUR YOUNG KIDS HERE. My two year old knocked over a bottle on one of the lower shelves and one of the stylists -- I believe her name either Natalia or Tanisha YELLED that he was "ruining the store". We walked out after waiting 10 mins when we were told there was no wait and they took 2 people ahead of us. My son wasn't running screaming or throwing things off the shelves. I was watching him and he was being well behaved it was a simple accident with complete over reaction from the stylist. Complete lack of professionalism ! I have many family members who used to frequent who will now stop using this facility, they're an embarrassment to the franchise name. read more

I've been this the Riverdale branch several times more. I don't generally get haircuts as I'm always worried too much will be taken off. Back in December I had to get it cut to remove some damage and even everything out. For the most part the cut was fine. More length than I would have preferred had to be cut off, but it is what it is. What was left wasn't bad. I got some strange advice from the stylist on how to keep my hair moisturized. I did some research and found that the advice given to me was actually not a good idea. When I went today, I said I only wanted my ends cleaned up. The stylist suggested an inch, then showed me to make sure we agreed on how much for her to take off. Later on, when she was done cutting, I put my glasses back on and saw that there were 4-inch-ing pieces of hair on the cape. I'm no genius, but I'm pretty sure there's a major difference between 1 inch, and 4 inches. My hair as wet so I couldn't really tell if I was seeing it right in the mirror. My hair had been straightened before I came in, but she wet it anyway. I should have asked her why there was so much more hair on the cape, but I was hoping that maybe I was just seeing it wrong somehow. When I got home, I straightened it (again) and found that she had cut off 4 inches. I was so upset. When I finally calmed down, I called the salon and spoke to the management. I explained the situation and they were very willing to work out this issue with me. Later on, I went in and spoke to Yvonne (the manager). Very nice and highly professional woman who was very willing to listen to me and work with me to find a solution. The stylist was sitting about 10 feet (give or take) away and could hear everything. Instead of trying to explain things, or even offer an apology, she just sat there clicking on her phone. Based off the combined experiences I had today, will I ever go to this Great Clips again? Yes. Would I make it a point to ask for someone other than Nicole? Definitely. Both Carol and Yvonne are amazing. Ask for them. read more

I been here sense the beginning very good hair cuts at riverdale NJ the manager there Yvonne is amazing I love her so much does such good hair cuts and is very good with the people as well as professional there was something that happened with a client who was very very snippy and rude and she handled it very well I give 5 stars if I could give more I would read more

I gave it a try a couple of times for my kid and they don't really give flattering cuts. I'm going to try a different service because I don't want the experience of a poor haircut. read more

Five stars for Yvonne. She does great haircuts and I always request that she does my son's hair. The location is quick and convenient located right off the highway. You can even do online check in! read more

Been there 3 times . 2 times ok haircut. Price is good can check in online so little wait. This time terrible haircut. I get a high fade. But it's just buzzed at 3 different levels no blending. My daughter did better during the pandemic with no experience read more

Go and see Natalia and she will take care of you. I've been having her cut my hair and my kids as well. She does a great job.

Every time you download a coupon and show it to the cashier they tell you it's not good. They tell you there are over 4000 great clips and you have to read each coupon to see if it's good at your location. What's the sense of downloading coupons when they offer it if they're not excepting. It's a waste of time and sold bullshit.. read more

Michael cut my son's hair and did an awful job. I told him several time just a very light trim on top because we wanted to keep the length. He took way too much off and when my son told him to stop he kept cutting. I will never go back. read more

A bad haircut and worse policies. You'll need to wear a mask and if they don't feel you are wearing it right they will readjust it for you when your haircut begins and pull it right around your face. read more

Terrible customer service! I checked in online and was given a 15 minute window, I was there with 5 mins to spare. I walked in and told them I checked in online and was told they would take my name as soon as they finished checking the man out. I sat and 2 other men walked in and were taken IMMEDIATELY so I waited. After being ignored for 10 additional mins I left and emailed corporate. This was back on 7/17 and still no response. I asked for the franchise owner to contact me and that went unaddressed as well! Please note while I waited there were 3 stylists standing around playing on their mobile phones. I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!! read more

We have used this Great Clips for years. But Yvonne as our choice. She wasn't there, my daughter went with Michael. It was awful, each side of her hair was cut completely different. I asked him to fix it, he said nothing back to us & took my daughter to cut it again~ making it worse. It was more than obvious that each side was cut differently. I would never go back. To fix my daughter's hair we went to another salon in our town that evening. She couldn't figure out what he did, what had been cut/not cut and how horrible it looked. I would never go to Great Clips again. I had to pay for two haircuts in one night In order to get her hair fixed. read more

This is a great place to get a cut. Very helpful, attentive staff. I get my cut from Roy everytime and everytime it comes out right. Roy pays attention to every detail and if something doesn't come out right, he fixes it up till its right. Check this Great Clips out if in the area. read more

Great Clips - Inside of store. Roy hard at work. Check it out for a cut. - Hair Salons Near Me - Riverdale, New Jersey

Horrible. Went to this salon twice and both times were not very good experiences. The hairdressers are polite and nice but their skills need lots of work. I had two different people at the times I went and each time, my hair was uneven and not short enough for my liking. I had to trim the left side at home with scissors to even it out! The back of my hair is just as thick as it was when I went in. It was a waste of time and money going to this place. I would not recommend this location to anyone. However, I DO recommend the Wayne location. I have gone there for years and never had any issues. I decided to try the Riverdale location as it is closer to my home but I will definitely go the extra distance to Wayne in the future. read more

HORRIBLE!! Took my 1 year old son for a haircut (this was his 3rd time getting his hair cut but first time at this place). Stylist buzzed my son's hair with an adult sized buzzer and proceeded to buzz the bottom of his hairline when my son jerked and she slipped and shaved a chunk of hair off! Two other stylists intervened to try to assist and blend his hair but it just ended up getting worse! My husband paid which I thought we really should not have! They told us to come back the following day so they can try to fix it more..yeah right! I will never step foot in that place again!! My husband took our son the next day to his barber who had to shave the entire back of his head in order to fix the disaster they created!! $12 haircut we thought would be great ended up a disaster! That old saying you get what you pay for is very true! read more

I feel rather foolish, writing a review for a salon. I've got plenty of hair, but the services I look for in salons is just good service and having them do exactly what I ask for. So speaking to those two criteria, Great Clips in Riverdale scores four stars. I can only give it four stars, because I only get a simple haircut - no other services. I've been there three times, and they did exactly what I asked them to, ALL THREE TIMES. They have always been courteous, cheerful, and I've never had to wait long. So in the words of a well-known movie reviewer, I'd give them "four combs up." read more

This is the best Great clips location !! So kind, professional, welcoming and intelligent !! Laurie the hairstylist is the best !! She answered all my questions, and was kind and full of information !! I really appreciated the time she took with me ! I felt great leaving with all my questions answered about products and a GREAT hair cut!! Thanks Great Clips, thanks Laurie !! read more

I checked-in using the app. at 12:45pm. I kept getting hours added to my "wait-time". After a 3 hour wait, I went to the salon and asked if there was a problem with the app. The very rude man working the door said that I had an additional over 2 hour wait and may not get in at all, since they are closing at 6pm. As people came, he began mocking me saying the people had 3minutes to wait, 7 minutes, 11 minutes and when he came to me he started mocking me saying "your wait is over 25 people and 2 hours so you might not get in at all". He waved his hand as if he was saying "get lost". He was rude. I did what I was suppose to. I waited 3 hours for the appointment only to be mocked, told I would need to wait 2 additional hours and possibly not get a haircut at all". Horrible customer service, Rude and does not appreciate the patrons. read more

Pray you get Josh he's the best. Got all my hair chopped off and got a "miley cyrus" haircut and he did it great. Waited about 25 mins on a Thursday evening. Paid $27 for me and my mom's haircuts. Awesome deal. Will continue to come here. read more

I normally go here but NEVER AGAIN. The guy working here cut TEN INCHES OFF! I repeated 6 inches OVER AND OVER AND OVER! The guy asked me if what he tied up was good I said NO I want to keep MORE of my hair. Then he "fixed it" and said this looks good and STARTED CUTTING!! I didn't say it was good and he completely started without my consent! I was outraged but I couldn't even do anything about it because he already cut "6 inches" off. He didn't even pull out a ruler or measuring tape to check... NOTHING! Then he continued to "even out" my hair which cut another 1-2 inches off and now my hair doesn't even go into a ponytail. Even after I told him twice, this is good... as in PLEASE STOP, he continued cutting even shorter and said "yeah it does look good" clearly the staff lacks intelligence because he couldn't understand what I was saying while my eyes were tearing up and face was beat red. After crying for about 2 hours I measured the ponytail I cut off to donate ("6 inches") HOWEVER IT WAS 10 INCHES LONG! Not even close to 6! I will NEVER go back unless I want to look this terrible again even I could have done a better job. read more

Awful. Nice people but they gave me an awful haircut. I look like an idiot now. Do not go here, you will regret it.

The first time I went in to get my hair cut, they did a great job. I asked for short hair with longer front pieces and bangs, a sort of Ramona flowers look. The woman who cut my hair did a great job and asked me tons of questions so it came out just how I wanted. I went to get the same style again today, and I had Michael. I told him what I wanted, and showed him a picture. He said he wasn't sure if he could get it exactly like that because the picture was a wig. I probably should've asked for a different stylist then. He proceeded to cut my hair all the same length. He asked if I liked it, and I repeated that I wanted longer front pieces, and was ok with going shorter in the back if he would leave the front as is. He cut off more all around, and now I essentially have a long bowl cut. When my mother was checking out, he also was hovering over her shoulder to look at the tip (she gave him a fair amount even though she could tell I was upset). Some of the stylists there are great, but don't go there if you want something more than a trim. read more

I would not recommend this place. I took my daughter for a haircut and asked for her hair to be cut at a certain length. The stylist proceeded to tell me not to cut it the length I wanted and pushed to keep it longer. ( mind you we are talking below shoulder length so it wasn't like I was having her go super short). I was uncomfortable and agreed to her suggestion since she basically insisted and told me her hair is similar so she knows best. As I waited, another stylist checked out the wrong client and was yelled at in front of everyone. Then she called the next client the wrong name and was yelled at again in front of everyone. She argued English is her second language so it doesn't matter if she pronounced the name wrong. It is not professional to argue in front of clients and it definitely made the salon quiet and uncomfortable for a few minutes. We will not be returning. read more

Wonderful inexpensive salon. I always wait for Roy - he's the best! I''ve never been disappointed. He does exactly what I ask. I'm a senior & who can't appreciate a $12 haircut? If only I could have my hair colored here as well, this would be perfection. read more

Great Clips - Roy at work! - Hair Salons Near Me - Riverdale, New Jersey

Great Clips is cheap clips. Fifteen dollars for a cut, twelve for a senior but here's the deal. Sometimes you can get a so so cut from a regular barber for twenty five dollars or sometimes better than so so. At Great Clips the cutters come and go often so it is very difficult to guess if you get a good haircut or an awful one. This is what to do. When you get a decent cut, return to the shop before you really need to and ask who ever you get to just keep it the same way but just give it a trim. At Great Clip prices you can easily keep your hair looking great. read more

I usually get my hair cut by Roy or Danielle but I went yesterday and neither one of them were working. I wound up having Briana cut my hair and she did a terrible job. I explained to her how It's normally cut and I even told her that Roy & Danielle had entered info in the computer system regarding my preferences. She completely ignored what I said and made a mess of my hair. I had to go back today to have her fix the hair by my neck because it stuck out like I had wings. After she got through "fixing it" it looks even worse. Do not let Briana near you with a pair of scissors. read more

I love this place! Everyone there is really cool and I always get a fantastic haircut! I'll never go anywhere else again!

I like the way it's quick in and out. Danielle and Lori did exactly what I asked for. Would recommend to anyone that wants great service.

If I could give no stars I would, checked in at 3:40 so 20 minutes before closing, got there at 4:00 and door was locked. With a waiting area full of people I knocked on the door in the rain and was told by the rude manager Giselle to read the sign that they were closed. When I informed her that I had checked 20 minutes before she rolled her eyes opened the door a crack and told me too bad I had to be there before she locked it. Have been coming here for 5 years and told her I would not be back. She then again rolled her eyes and walked away. read more
