I appreciate the service and the effort given each time I go to the Great Clips in Bowmanville. Gerri is a fantastic! She always goes above and beyond. She takes her time and puts in a lot of effort to make sure that the cut and style I am looking for is done correctly. I highly recommend her. Her customer service is second to none! read more

horrible, asked the lady to trim my hair because i'm trying to grow it out, she shows me a tiny amount that she will be cutting and goes on to cut half of my hair length leaving my hair at my shoulders. she also didn't treat my hair like wavy hair and wouldn't scrunch it once she was done, just kept brushing it making it poofy. the cut is also very unflattering for my hair type and she got rid of all my layers which i didn't ask her to do. read more

It's been a week and 1/2 and this is still on my mind. I asked for a trim, and to keep it all one length and before I knew it the young stylist had started to layer the right side of my hair. I quickly reacted and asked her if she was layering my hair and she said she was just blending it in. In reality what she did was cut the right side of my hair 3" shorter than the left side and just left the left side longer. It is only hair and I know it will grow but I won't be going to Bomanville Clips again. read more

First and LAST time I will have my hair cut here. Wish I had read these other reviews here before walking into this place. Sounds like the stylists have all had the same training - "you're hired - here's a pair of scissors". My hair was long enough to put in a ponytail. Now, one side is long with no layers, the other side an inch shorter with these weird 'layers'?, cuts. The back nape is short - not what I wanted at all - however there is a huge chunk of longer hair underneath the top layer at the bottom. My entire hair cut looks like I did it myself, with a pair of garden sheers, rough with no style. I can't tell you how disappointed I am. It's going to take the summer for my hair to grow long enough for me to get a decent cut/style, if I tried to have it fixed now, it would end up way too short. I do not recommend this place at all and I do recommend that the stylists be better trained. read more

Where to even start? I went in to get the sides and back of my head clipped and a minor tidying on the top. I was very specific with what I wanted and showed the stylist the same reference picture my previous stylist in Oshawa had been using. I asked the stylist about the sideburn/beard area not looking even and she glanced and took the cape off of me. Upon further inspection, at home, the layering across the top was horribly uneven and the disconnect from the top to the sides and back looked like I had taken a clipper around my head and called it a day. For $19 I wasn't expecting to be blown away but I wouldn't have been willing to pay anything to have someone mess up my hair after months of growing it out. I will not be going back and I definitely would not recommend this place to a friend. read more

If I could give this place Zero stars I would they don't even deserve one star but it makes you. My son left there yesterday afternoon (Saturday April 1st) in tears. I don't know if the hairstylist was new but when your told to do a Cesar #1 you do a Cesar #1 you don't buzz a kids head especially when he tells her she is doing the wrong hair cut and she tells him your mom told me to shave your head. Umm no the customer is always right and then you charge us for a hair cut that I could have done for free. We will not be backed there and maybe you shouldn't charge customers when your worker doesn't have. Clue what their doing. I'm sorry but if I ran a business and seen a customer in tears I would have said sorry and that there was no charge poor business on their end. read more

Never again. I decided to get my haircut there last time as they offer online check-in, which is great. However, I ended up stopping elsewhere when I was out the next day to fix what they had done. However, I thought I'd give them another chance as there's quite a few people working there & if I happened to get the same person as last time I could just request someone else. Fast forward to today. Finish my day at work & go onto the website to check in again....estimated 42 minute wait. No problem, gives me plenty of time to make a stop on the way. 35 minutes later I arrive & I'm #2 on the list. Five minutes later they call out the first name on the list, he's not here! Great, my turn.....nope, they skip right over me & call out the name after mine. So I make sure she knows I'm here; "Ok, no problem she says"....yet she still takes the person after me. Another 5 minutes later and one of the other girls is done, but by now the guy who was ahead of me has returned, and they take him. Fair enough, that's the point of putting your name on a waiting list. Then the next girl finishes...nope, taking a lunch break. Ten minutes later another one finished & she decides now's a good time to count her tips.....count the nickels, run to the register, back to her station, count the dimes, run to the register, back to her station, count the quarters, run to the register, back to her station....that's it, it's half an hour later than I expected, I've watched a couple people go ahead of me, and everyone seems to be too busy to work now....I'm out. I'll just get a haircut when I'm at the office tomorrow. read more

Awesome! I have had many bad experiences at many salons. Here ive recieved a great experience at this salon. Used the online check in, it was pretty accurate. Salon atmosphere is welcoming and the stylist I had was fun, and gave me the hair cut I asked for. read more
