I had never used Great Cuts before, so was a bit apprehensive. However, Cindy made me feel comfortable and listened to my requests. In less than 15 minutes I walked out of there with the best haircut I've had in years!! I wish I had found Great Cuts sooner!! I'll definitely be returning for future cuts. read more

My parents go to Great Clips to get their hair cut and they are pretty happy with the results. The salon is very clean and the ambience is very chill and welcoming. In particular, Toni does a great job and cares about her customers. Overall, my parents are satisfied with Great Clips and they enjoy getting their hair cut at this location. read more

OLGA she very friendly and I love the way she did my hair . Thank you so much will come back

How about adding more employees, such a long ass wait and there is only 2 stylists working that is just borderline bullshit atmosphere is fine read more

I keep hoping for the best for this place and every time we take my son they always messes up his haircut. It's convenient cause it's really close to our house and cost effective. That's why I gave a star. His hair is so crooked. I don't even know how they can fix this. Save your money go to a real barber shop. read more

Great Clips - Hair Salons Near Me - Santa Maria, California

See all

I've had good experiences here generally, all the stylists are really nice, although the wait times can be long they're still pretty good. Also, the prices are fair compared to other places. read more

Tiffany was very nice! I came in for just a haircut. I loved what she did. Recommend Tiffany she's great, & professional.

Went to great clips for a haircut, wanted a wolf cut/mullet once my hair was dry it turned out only to be layered. screwed up my hair fr ( the girl who usually does my hair wasnt there..) read more

I tried to give this salon another try and once again disappointed. From the moment I walked in I could tell I was "bothering" a stylist by being there. I tried to continue with kindness and see if I could get them to be a little more personable. I asked if a hair wash was included in the kids cut and I was told "for $12 more". I wanted my daughter to have the pampered experience so I agreed. When we got to the hair cut my daughters hair was combed back and her was cut pretty quickly. All from the back. Then her hair was partially dried using the stylist's fingers... not a brush or comb. When I was asked if the length was ok and I said yes... she took the drape off. That was it..... her hair was not brushed nor fully dry. We proceeded to the checkout. Pretty disappointed in customer service and quality of service. I will not return. read more

Hi! Everyone ... I want to regress a little, and share that I recently quit visiting SportClips after years, since they opened... SportClips Poor management had made it too difficult to visit my favorite stylist ... Now for the good part... One of my favorite sports clips stylist "OLGA" suddenly was no longer working at sports clips? Of course no one would share with me where she went ... Guess who I found here at "GREAT CLIPS" next to Walmart! You guessed it "OLGA" ... she remembered my name, she remembered how I cut my hair, without even prompting... Great smile, great personality, and most of all, great haircut!! I will obviously be back!!! read more

Just had a haircut from Olga. Pleasant and professional service. Would definitely go back.

I got a haircut from Toni a few weeks ago. She was very helpful, informative, and gave me a fabulous haircut! 10/10 would recommend!

Got my husband and two boys haircuts today, the ladies were so nice! I'll definitely be coming back here for sure!

They were able to get me right in on my lunch break and fix a TERRIBLE haircut I had previously received. I'm very happy with how my hair looks now. I recommend going on their website (you can google Great Clips Santa Maria) and it will pop right up. Once on the website you can check in and that will hold your place in line to minimize waiting times there. My haircut was only $16 and turned out better than more expensive haircuts I've received. This place seemed like an inexpensive way to get great haircuts for the whole family. read more

Thank you for supporting us Veterans! I absolutely love the haircut that I received today! I look forward to supporting your business throughout this year as I am already a regular customer. Your support for Veterans is truly a Cut above all the rest! read more

High level of safety due to COVID and they were extremely efficient with check in appointments.

James was great. But, he couldn't find a large round brush to use on me. He looked three times and asked several times but the manager didn't even help. After he tried for a half an hour to dry my hair the manager finely unwrapped a new one. The shop was full of hair, even in the waiting room. If it weren't for James I wouldn't go back. I can't take so long. THEY SHOULD HAVE THE BRUSH THEY NEED. read more

On any other day, here this location would pull 5 stars for sure! But because how I was accepted to day, I'll NEVER go back! See the deal is I go to great clips because I love How Ruby cuts my hair! 100% 5 star, and I tip $7.00 today at 2:15pm 03/03 Sunday I went in, and was pretty much met with attitude, and about how many people are in front of me, and how his going to be 35 minutes bla bla bla! Which is fine, but just the way it was said, and the way it had to be hammered home, even after I said ok! Must of all NO smile nothing! Oh ya, "Ruby" was off, I was still going to get a cut, but because like I said just felt NOT welcomed! Oh well , I'm gone! I just left! read more

This review is posted on behalf of my best friend, a resident of Santa Maria and now former regular at this Great Clips location. After making an appointment and checking in online my best friend headed over to this Great Clips location a few blocks from his house. Upon arrival all of the stylists are busy and he receives no greeting. No one comes to the counter to check him in despite clearly being noticed. A few minutes later a walk-in comes in and a stylist frees up and takes the walk-in instead. Another guy walks in and is greeted and checked in. By this time my friend is understandably irritated. My friend is not the kind of customer to make a scene in public as I would in this situation. He also sends me a picture of an absolutely disgusting entryway carpet. I understand cut hair just a part of a salon business but please make an effort to keep things clean THROUGHOUT the work day! Eventually my friend is acknowledged and put on the list after the second walk-in customer. After about a 45-50 minute wait my friend has his hair cut, which goes as well as it normally does, and leaves. Sad to say due to a lack of quality customer service you've lost a loyal customer! read more

Great Clips - In need of a good vacuum. I would've walked out. - Hair Salons Near Me - Santa Maria, California

Staff are always nice. They do an okay job, can't really complain for the price. Place seems clean and you can sign in on the app before you arrive to reserve a place in line. Make sure you check in at the front when you arrive. read more

Was visiting family and needed a trim. I have thick hair and an experienced texturizing stylist is essential. Spoke to a stylist there and she knew exactly what I needed. The result was great and would recommend this Santa Maria location. I'll make it my go to location when traveling. read more

Hats off to Ruby. She listened to my concerns and did it exactly how I wanted it done. She even said if I get home and once I style it, if I don't like it come back and she will redo it for free. Thanks Ruby you have a new customer. read more

I took my sons here for their cuts and I was so happy with the results. The salon is very clean, stylists are friendly (and patient with children!), and the price is right. I will continue taking my kids here over the child themed salon in town. read more

Friendly staff and gives a good cut for a fare price. They always send out coupons and have in-store specials which can get you a good savings.They also take signups on line as well to speed up your wait. I have never had a bad experience. read more

Horrible customer service! My mother and I took my great grandma to get her hair cut. The told us it would be maybe an hour so we checked her in and waited. Well a online check in missed their time but showed up super late but since they knew the stylist they took them anyways. So my poor grandma sat there for over and hour and had to leave with no hair cut. The manager was no where to be seen and was not phased at all. We will not be returning to that location ever again! read more

So I have been coming here for a while and I have come out looking awesome every time, thanks to the beautiful and skilled girls here ;) The manager is a personal favorite of mine and she keeps me laughing! I may or may not have a crush on a couple of the girls (you would too if you saw them) so thats one reason I keep coming back! But on a serious note, they haircuts are done in a professional manner and you can usually save a bit of money with a coupon. So worth it!! Great friendly staff and an affordable haircut! Come here and leave looking as fly as I do! read more

I thought getting a quick and decent priced haircut here would be a breeze but turned out not to be. Online check in was pointless. Looked online and saw it would be an hour wait. Put mine and my sister's name down and came an hour later. The girl at the front still told us it would be 45 minutes. We sat there and waited for over an hour and still were persons 4 and 5 on the waitlist. Even if you put your name on the waitlist and aren't there, they keep you on the list. People who weren't there while we were waiting came in and were taken just cause there names were left on the board. Would give zero stars if I could. Never going back there again. read more

I'm a guy with a very easy head to cut so I'm not as picky scout the barbers or salons I do business with. GC is perfect for me. I especially like the app fur checking in which ensures no lines. My barber gets me on and out looking good. read more

Will not be returning to Great Clips again. I haven't had a hair cut for more than six +months. I usually don't get my hair cuts from a "franchise salon", but I needed something inexpensive and decent. I should have trusted my gut and just save my time/money. Lesson here is you get what you pay for. read more

To piggyback on what Joe said, Olga is simply the best! She remembers my name, always has a pleasant smile and knows exactly what I want done. read more

Great experience and haircut! The stylist was super sweet and knowledgeable. She also helped a lot when deciding on different lengths and options for my hair. Will definitely go back (: read more

Haircuts were fine but wouldn't cut my daughter's hair citing nits. I did a headcheck on the spot (13 years in a school health office so I know what I'm looking for), asked for clarification on what she saw... Tried to explain dandruff v nits (she argued with me). Took daughter home, did a full lice comb thru... Nothing. Called to let them know, that girl needs some further education on nits. In the meantime, she unnecessarily embarrassed a kid who had NOTHING. I get if you're squeamish you might misidentify in your paranoia, but when someone with experience is trying to explain what you think you saw, and figure out if you DID see something (trust me, I'd wanna know!), don't be a snot and shut them down. read more

As soon as I entered Great clips I was given and received the best customer experience I have ever had... this was the first time I came to this location. I usually go to Great clips in SLO but this location has to be by far the best customer service I received and best hair styling ever by Adam. Thank you Adam once again. read more

they did not allow me to be near my 6 year old while she got her hair cut due to their Covid precautions but allowed children older than my daughter to eat in the waiting area. read more

Tiffany is a great stylist. She is professional and knows what she's doing . I'll keep coming back as long as Tiffany is at Great Clips .

I can tell for myself that I am very picky when it comes to hair style. I had very bad previous experience with other salons.. Great clips was recommended from a coworker since she showed up at work with great hair style. Today I went to Great clips and was literally shaking like I am at the dentist office, lol.. The staff was very pleasant, waiting time was not that long, walk ins are available and came out with great hair!!! And also, cutting is $15 I had coupon which I used and paid $10 + tips. Highly recommended and will go there again for sure. :) read more

So I just got back from this place about an hour ago and I've got to say, I'm not all that satisfied. The lady who cut my hair (I didn't catch her name) was nice and we had a good conversation going while she was cutting my hair. I looked in the mirror after she was done and I thought it looked fine. When I got home, I got a better look and I saw that my layers were uneven. I asked her for v-shaped layers and it was more like a really wide v-layered cut. She didn't even touch or cut my front layers on both sides so they're uneven from all the rest that are cut. It doesn't look that bad from far away, but up close you can tell it's not that great either. Maybe I got what I paid for because I did have a coupon for an $8.99 haircut. Sigh, never again am I falling for that. Once I grow out my hair in a couple of months, I'll be going to my usual hairstylist... all the way in the Bay Area. At least I know my hair will be treated with precision and care up there and not like this place. read more

I was looking to trim my hair because I had been growing it out for six months, and showing progress. I had read good reviews about the place so I decided to try it out. I was nonetheless very disappointed and I left feeling very angry, as well as very sad. The employee who cut it took none of my directions and instead decided to do what she preferred. I was a bit skeptical about her from the moment I sat due as she seemed very unsure and unskilled. What should have been a 20 minute "trim" became a one hour trainwreck which left me looking like one of the Beatles (not as pleasant as one may expect).She removed so much of my hair that I ended up having less hair than I did 6 months ago. In the end I was charged $37 in total, $16 for the haircut, and $21 for straightening the two strands of hair I was left with. I did receive a partial refund, but I must still pay with this ridiculous look. I am undoubtedly very angry as I was growing my hair out for a show I am preparing for. I hope they look into training their employees a little better, as well as adjusting their prices based on hair lengths. read more

I have had my hair cut at Great Clips 6 times. The first time not so good. But the last 5 times I have been happy. My hair is wavy, thin and fine in my senior years. I have been able to communicate what I want and I have been happy with the results. I recommend them highly. read more

James is the best! He is so friendly and fun to talk to! He doesn't let you sit there and just watch him, he asks you questions and makes the effort to make you feel comfortable and just like you're a good friend of his. Next time I go to great clips (which will be every time from now on), I'm asking for James BY NAME. If he's not in, I'll get my hair cut when he is. What a great guy! read more
