    Very disappointed with my hair. My hair is very damaged yet I'm terrified of hairdressers. I had an inspiration photo, and wanted 2.5 inches off. But i feel as if it's shorter than 2.5 inches, and very choppy, and a big section of my hair in the front is super short (jawbone length) and the inspiration photo didn't have any of that. I will never go back again, it will takes months to go back, to the length I had.

    Pretty much a you-get-what-you-pay-for hair cut place. There's always coupons here fortunately so at least for men you can get your hair cut frequently for only a fraction of the cost of other nearby shops. I've never had a bad cut here, but I've also never had one that I was super impressed with either (pretty easy clipper cut for me most of the time though). One of the nice things about this location is that there's plenty of parking in the strip mall. But the downside is that you also can't park directly in front of the store and you'll have to cross the street to get your haircut. Wait times typically aren't too long here, store size is pretty normal for Great Clips, and cleanliness is fairly standard. Overall, not a great and not a bad place for a haircut -- but alright if you're value oriented.

    Do not go here! Check other salons in the area. Bad haircut, bad service! Customer service was no help.

    "Layers by Dotty" LOL I COULD HAVE DONE THIS BETTER MYSELF AT HOME! I just emailed Great Clips HQ.

    I asked Dotty for a 2" trim with a 1" layer at the bottom, and an angled bang in front because I part my hair. She needed to ask assistance from another stylist because she didn't feel confident in her "angling abilities." The cut looked okay from the back, but when I came home and brushed my hair, my hair was cut 1" shorter on the right, and the "layers" looked so blunt and choppy! I just emailed HQ, and will provide a photo. When she rang me up, I wanted to purchase a container of J Crew forming cream, which was labeled $16.95 on the shelf. It rang up at $17.95, and Dotty had to call a manager on the phone because she didn't know how to correct the price, and the manager told her to ring me up for more than what the shelf was labeled. So mad I gave them the extra business. Never again!

    Uneven for a really simple haircut.

    Not that a $15 haircut should be good...but for a man it's literally a razor, yet somehow they messed up my boyfriend's hair. The front is longer on one side than the other, and longer an inch back from his hairline than it is in the very front? I literally could do this better myself if someone would just hand me the razor...insane. I'm shocked he paid.

    I asked for layers and got none. Did not offer wash or a blow dry leaving my (already dry) hair flat, wet and yucky. I will NOT be back.

    I asked for layers and got none. Did not offer wash or a blow dry leaving my (already dry) hair flat, wet and gross. We will NOT be back and will NEVER recommend this place for hair cuts. The stylists were not friendly or talkative and then their computer system started having issues meaning we had to pay for my siblings and I in two deprecate payments. My sister also asked for layers and got none. I am rather upset and angry as I will be taking photos with this. They complained about their tip too! It was a BAD $8 hair cut. We gave them $3 for each hair cut. $1.15 is 15% meaning we left them 39% on each BAD hair cut. And the woman COMPLAINED about the tip. WOW. If 0 stars was possible. That's what I would give this place. Edit: OMG I got home, washed my hair... Look at my picture! These are NOT layers if that's what they think this is!!! The lady chopped my bangs almost an inch shorter than the rest of my hair! DO NOT GO HERE!

    This was after the hair cut? That is supposed to be a 2. More like a 4 3/4 with 50-year-old dull rusty clippers

    I've been coming to Beauty Time for at least 4 years and I'm embarrassed to say I am only now…read moregetting a review on Yelp: Nick and his wife are fantastic at making you look your best! If you want a great hair cut, come to Beauty Time. Period. Professional, friendly, talented, convenient location, reasonable rates. You won't be disappointed. (I've posted before and after pics of my cuts with this review.) Plus, they are fully up to date with covid protocols and thorough cleanliness so no worries there. (In fact, Nick's wife Arcana was cutting my hair even before they opened their own shop and I followed her to their own place--that's what a good job she does.) Beauty Time's downtown Arlington Heights location is very convenient if you live anywhere near Arlington Heights--tons of free parking, plus plenty of other businesses nearby if you're running errands. I think most guys have Nick work on them--my 17 year old son does, and he has had multiple style changes and has always been very happy with the results...plus they are very reasonably priced. Same thing with my mother before she became home-bound. Since Arcana has been my stylist for so long I usually call and ask when she'll have time and we work it out so I walk straight into the chair. I have never left without feeling like I got a great cut. After all this time I just found out that Nick does "old fashion" shaves and since they've never let me down I am certainly going to try that to start the new year off right. I highly recommend Beauty Time for a great haircut!

    My favorite place for a haircut. I've been going here for a few years and Nick and Tana…read moreconsistently give me and my son great haircuts. We've never been unhappy. Bonus that they're conveniently located right in downtown AH near the train station and restaurants. Nick and Tana are friendly and accommodating, listen well to what you want and provide great service.
