The short: When you need the hair trimmed.... The long: Needed to get my hair cut and I have a normal spot but the wife wanted a quick trim and wasn't down for a guys hair cutting spot so we compromised on this (mostly because of proximity) We arrived and were quickly greeted and all of our information was taken down and we were put on the list. Apparently they have online check in so you can check in before you get there and as soon as you walk in you jump to the head of the line. I wish I would have known that because a family of 4 checked in online and arrived after I had been already waiting about 10 mins and jumped in front. After my wait of about 30 minutes I was in a chair and was out in another 5-10. Both me and the wife were happy with the cut (nothing difficult just simple trims and clean ups) but we were a little irritated with the way the check in system ended up keeping us there far too long. That being said now we know and we'll not make that mistake again. What works: Online check in! What to improve: Telling people about online check in! read more

I have been going here for about a year now. Lauren or Brittani are both really great stylists. They have a nice staff here and they seem to appreciate their customers. Not sure why prices went up 3 bucks for a senior's haircut especially because they no longer do shampoos or other services. I like this place though. Hope prices level off. read more

Finally!!!! Stopped to get a haircut in the way home, and all said and done Eve said it was PERFECT!!!! That like never happens. Love this location, I believe it was "Loc" that cut my hair, a nice Asian man that really took pride in what he was doing. I explained the various elements as I have time and time before, and he actually got it right!!!!! I loved that as he was trimming up the neck and at other various times he would step back to take a look and make sure it looked correct. He trimmed the back to follow my natural hairline just like I asked, and when I asked for just a little more off the top he obliged with no stress. He actually worked to "shape" my hair based on my hair and my particular head, I felt like I was in great hands. This will be my new go to place for sure. read more

I've never been to a chain haircut place, so this was my first experience. I walked in, and one of the stylists says "Welcome to Great Clips" in her most monotone voice. I'm sure they're required to say that. Then another stylist takes a break from cutting some guy's hair to greet me. After some "what?"s and "huh?"s, he asks me to write down my name. Then he motions for me to take a seat. He didn't seem to speak English. After about 2 seconds of pondering, I decided that it's probably not a bright idea to have somebody cut your hair if they can't communicate with you, so I walked out. read more

This place is close to where I live so I just go there b/c they're open a lot and it's not too bad. It all depends on who you get, and what day you happen to get them on. There's a guy named Viet who is probably the best there, but even he has his off days. If you're looking for something quick and easy then I say you do it, otherwise, find someplace else. read more

I take my boys here to get haircuts because they are close to me. I have found the best time to go is not too long after they have opened. I came at 10:00 this morning and there was no wait. However, I have been there when the wait time has been almost an hour. And I promptly left after that. The staff is good with my children and the experience is pleasant, which is a plus when you are trying to get a 2 year old's hair cut. While I would never get my haircut here, I will definenlty continue to take my boys here. read more

My husband loves Maureen. After seeing her do such a great job and clean fades on him I took our two sons in....she did awesome! My 1yr old sat still on my lap and not only did she cut it quickly it's absolutely adorable. My older son got a fade this time and lined up. All three have completely different hair types and she has no problem. read more

Great Clips - First hair cut. - Hair Salons Near Me - Sacramento, California

Great place for a hair cut. I like to go to the same person each time when he is there and I love the online check-in. I leave work and check in as I get in the car, no wait when I get there!! read more

Meagan was awesome! She was very gentle on my hair and honestly it felt more like a head massage than a haircut! She went back through my hair and made sure any Stray hairs that poked out were cleaned up and I really appreciate how thorough she was. I had asked about buying hair products and she wasn't pushy at all which I really appreciate and I still ended up buying two full-size bottles! I will continue to come to this location as long as she's a stylist there! read more

Had my haircut there last week. This place is extremely hidden and really friendly. The girl who cut my hair was funny and personable which is missing from a lot of places. She was attentive and actually made sure the changes to my haircut were in the system. Genuinely wish their were more hairstylist like her. Shout out to the Italian Sicilian hairstylist. There were no lines and make sure to use the check in app, because not only it's awesome it puts you on top of the line in their LCD. read more

Terrible haircut for my daughter. My sister took her and when she got home I had to give her a whole new haircut. If I had time for that, I'd have done it myself. Her hair is stick straight, mid back and all one length. But when she got home every layer that he took down to cut was a different length! The left size was over 1/2" longer than the right. She's an easy kid and not figity so there is no excuse. I'm sure it depends on the stylist you got, but with this kind of crapshoot, it's not worth the risk IMO. read more

This was the second time after checking in on line that I arrived on time, and told I was next. The wait time was 51 minutes I arrived at 48 minutes. I was told I was next, and just when I though it was my turn a Lady came in and was put ahead of me. I had already been wait for 40 minutes which makes a total of 1hr. and 31 min., and I'm still not the next one up. I will not go to a Great Clips, and will tell my friends to do the same. read more

I usually have great luck at this salon. Everyone is really friendly and accommodating. My latest adventure, however, tells me that something needs to be changed. I checked in online. When I arrived, my app said I had a 7 minute wait. The guy ahead of me got called. There were 2 stylists and 1 left for a break. At this point I'd been waiting for at least 30 minutes. I look up at some point and my name has disappeared. When I ask what happened, I'm told that after an hour, my name goes away. What possible sense does this make????? Stylist informs me she can add me back on the list--at the bottom. By this time there are 4 others on the list. No thanks. Maybe these particular stylists haven't been trained? Shouldn't there be a check-in process that keeps me on the list when I enter the building? I'm being penalized for checking in online. read more

Not where I usually go to get my hair cut and I will not be returning. I went in last night and decided to get a trim because my usual salon was already closed. Huge mistake! First of all I specified to take an inch off no more because I wanted to keep the length. I am sure she took at least 2. She cut my hair very unevenly on one side in the front. It is about an inch shorter than the rest, so unless I want my hair very short I will have to wait for it to grow to fix it. Lastly I asked for my bangs to be trimmed exactly the way I had them, but they aren't and now I cant style my hair the way I like it. Then I took a good look at my son's hair and its obviously uneven around his ears. Only reason why I gave 2 stars was because my boyfriend's stylist did a good job. read more

After multiple failed attempts to contact the manager, I decided to take the time and vent my utter disappointment and frustration with this review. Please be noted if zero stars was an option that is EXACTLY what I would give. I went to great clips this past Friday, because I desperately needed a hair cut and it is affordable for a college student. I had registered online which gave me false waiting times and ended up taking a lot longer. As I walked into the store there was only two employees (however it was almost 7:30pm) and the one that had cut my hair Lou was not very friendly. She sat me down after waiting and asked what I wanted done to my hair and gave me her name 3 times disregarding what I was saying. My hair was a little longer than mid back and I told her I wanted it cut a little above my shoulder and just straight across. She suggested a bob cut and I said NO because my hair is thick and it wont look good at all. She began to cut and I noticed that she didn't sanitize her equipment, wasn't using proper technique and kept cutting shorter and shorter. Then proceeded to cut my hair into to a bob cut stating how hard it was after i told her NOT to and eventually got the clippers to trim my edges but buzzed the back of my hair not to mention cut my neck. She didn't even acknowledge that she cut me or that she wasn't properly cutting it right because my hair was to thick and it was hard to cut. Another, customer that belonged to her walked in and she was in a rush to finish my hair that she didnt even finish me or blow dry my hair, because she stated, "you dont need me to try it you can do it home and style it. If its uneven come back tomorrow for it to be fixed". Mind you I was going out of town and had to leave with wet hair. My hair was cut beyond shorter than I wanted because she couldn't even it out properly so just kept cutting shorter and shorter, long chunks were left, and the back was buzzed off/ uneven. Now I cant style my hair and worse look like a boy. I would not recommend nor EVER go back!! read more

See all

The hair stylist Lui I believe was her name did such a great job cutting my hair. I loved the A line and helping me keep it texturized.

After my regular local stylist moved out of state, I didn't know where to go. On a whim (and frankly, expecting very little), I stopped into this place when I really had to get my hair in order. My first experience was okay, I had one of the men who don't speak the best English cut my hair and it was fine. Very quick, a decent cut, though it was pretty difficult to understand him. If I were very particular this may have been a problem, but for me it was okay. Then the next time I met Heidi. Wow. This is a stellar young lady who knows and loves what she does. Her skill and care is far beyond what you'd expect at what some would describe as the "fast food"" of salons. She's careful, kind, and is not in a hurry - even when the wait for her specifically is 5 deep. My son and I usually get our hair cut together, and she always makes the experience a good one. While its always true of these sort of places that your experience may vary, I can assure you that it'll be a great one... as long as you request Heidi. There are two reviews I read that bother me- one woman gives a pompous 3 stars after saying she always brings her children here, and "Adam" gave 1 star even though he didn't even use their services. Wouldn't Yelp be wise to remove that? read more

The best place to get a hair cut in Sacramento! Roxy is the best, I travel from Hollywood Ca. And back to get my hair cut here! Sacramento is my hometown and I only trust this place to cut my hair, best service and price around a salon haircut, very professional, Thanks Roxy! read more

Terrible place to get your haircut. Prices are not worth the cut you get at all. I got a haricut before my friends wedding that i was in and didnt realize it was so bad until i got to the event. Luckily i was a few hours early and another friend of mine was able to fix it. The haircut before I had there was pretty bad as well. Im abandoning Great Clips. read more

I'm a tri racial guy, so my hair is very coarse and curly. It is not easy to style. I started coming here after relocating to Sacramento, and as it turns out, every time I come here I leave satisfied. My main rule of thumb is that I should look better than I did when walking in and I leave here every time feeling great about my cut! The other Great Clips I go to, they just give me a buzz cut without any style, no matter what I tell them. There's an Asian man here who acts like my hair is a sculpted piece of art, then a blonde woman with short hair and glasses who makes me look like I just walked off a magazine cover, and the pretty African American woman who makes me look ready for prime time (sorry, I don't know any of their names). I'm glad I found this place and am kinda annoyed that I didn't leave my house earlier - I just found out they close on Saturday's at 6, and not at 7 like I thought. Oh well, I'll go back tomorrow! $14 as of 4/30/2016. read more

They did a pretty terrible job with my hair and I don't have that "tricky" of a hair style. It's a 1 on the sides faded to finger length on top. The gentleman who cut my hair literally spent maybe 10 minutes on it and I haven't had a hair cut in over a month. He barely cut anything off the top and his fade was uneven and crooked. I understand they were busy at the time but makes no sense to rush a hair cut. Also worth mentioning is how dirty his work area was. He swept the floor but did nothing regarding the hair on the shelves. I don't expect every little hair to be taken care of between haircuts but this was noticeably covered with hair and pretty gross. I was in the area and hoped to save the extra travel time to my local Great Clips but was not worth it. read more

Absolutely love Mikayla. She does an amazing job on my 2 year old sons hair. She's the only person I'll let cut his hair. Great prices as well. read more

They don't know what an a line is. They messed up my daughters hair and the solution to fix it was chopping her hair even more. Hack job. Such crap. Not happy. read more

This place is absolute shit the barbers are extremely untrained. The only reason you should go to this place is if you don't give a fuck about your hair. The barber left patches in my hair and couldn't even line up the neck right. I had to go to another barber to get my cut salvaged. Wouldn't not recommend at all. read more

It's a Saturday and yelp says they are open until 7pm... Drove up there and they are closed. Waste of my gas and time. read more

Great Clips - Says they are open till 7pm... just drove up there and they are closed. Waste of time and gas... - Hair Salons Near Me - Sacramento, California

I walked into this salon my wait was minimal & I, fortunately, drew Bebe as my stylist, we talked about what/how I wanted my hair styled, she listened and heard what I asked for. She was very professional, did exactly what I had asked for and I believe she provided me with the best haircut I have had since I've moved to Sacramento a year ago. I highly recommend Bebe and will be returning to her for regular maintenance. read more

This location is pretty fast, and I would have to say everyone I enjoy seen is really friendly. If you want a personal recommendation, I'd go with Viet, he'll give you a nice cut every single time. No problems with him at all, he does a great job! The manager is also pretty good, and friendly read more

Took my 2 yr old son here for his first official hair cut - I've been doing it for a while but he's too wiggly for me now and I thought having a stranger do it might make a difference. There was a short wait but I was prepared for that and there was toy in the corner of the wait area that helped keep him occupied. The first stylist (Asian male) tried to get him in the chair but my son loudly protested, so we were asked to step aside and let the next person go first (slightly off putting, but I get it). The second stylist (Tarsha?) let him sit in my lap, which worked much better. He still cried and squirmed, but she did a decent job considering - better than I would have done. It's a bit rough in some spots but only if you look closely, and again it's better than its looked in quite awhile so totally worth it. I'll bring him back for sure, and stick with the female stylists. read more

I come in twice a month for my son. He's 5 and hates the barber shops in town so we come here. Always a decent cut for the price. I check in online and never wait more than 10 minutes read more

Sorry to do this: after losing all my hair to cancer I decided I was going too grow my hair as long as I could. So I went to get it kind of shaped. Told the gentleman how I wanted it. It looked good after blow drying an product. After shower noticed he had cut all same the same l length and more then I asked to be cut. Went back same guy told him it was not what i asked for. He cut it again an again took off four inches more. So now it has to be short. I said fix it so i could leave an he charged me again. Went to my Daughters salon Magic. Told my story she fixed it didn't even charge me. Thank Magic Salon. read more

This place is great. The Staff are very friendly and always welcome you as you past through the front door. Online check in is a breeze. Stephanie is amazing and I have been going to her for long time now. My son just started getting his haircut there and he loves it. read more

This is for Layla. She has styled and cut my hair including my 3 year old. She is so patient. Our son is scared of the barbers because he's not used to it but she is always so calm and patient with him. While others may just turn us away she's always there for us. We're moving to the Bay Area so we do special trips to see if she's around. Thank you Layla for your patience, kindness and ability to work with a challenging 3 year old. You are the bomb! Layla is located in the Camilla center. Been to other places but this one is the most consistent and professional read more

Thanks to the older Asian guy that cut my hair, complete idiot. I had come here before and gotten good haircuts where they actually give me what I ask for. Not this time. I brought a picture of a haircut with 2-3 inch hair. I left with 1 inch hair. The idiot kept trying to validate the cut to by saying "look better shorter" "it better than before". Screw that guy. I am so furious that my hair is gone and so sad because I love doing different styles to my hair. Now, I can't do anything. read more

Went in to get my one year old sons hair cut and I was rushed and the back of his hair is uneven, my son also got nicked I will not be coming her again !! read more

Came in early morning (9am 7/18/17) to get my son's hair cut before his first day of school, showed the hair stylist a picture of what I wanted for him and she said no problem she loves pictures, and explained the steps she was going to use. Everything seemed in order, he had a fresh new cut and looked great. I thanked her, paid and tipped her generously. As soon as we got home I further inspected his haircut only to realize she did a hack job on the front of his part, and the bad part was that she styled his hair just enough to cover the damage she did but failed to bring it to my attention. I'm disappointed in his cut, I don't live in the area (my fault for taking a recommendation from a local) so we couldn't return to fix the problem, so I had to have a second cut done to fix where she messed up. Lesson learned, fully inspect cut before leaving establishment. I hope they don't do this regularly, I feel like I've been ripped off. read more

I would not recommend "Loc" for cutting hair. I went in today and asked for a hard line comb over with a fade. He insisted he knew what that was. Turned out he had no clue. All he had to do was clean it up, not mess it up. Now I am wearing a hat until my hair grows out. When I informed him that one side was shaved down to my scalp and the other side wasn't, he insisted he did nothing wrong. He told me he did what I wanted him to do. I don't remember asking him to take a 3x3 chunk out of my head, next to my forehead and just fade the other side. He insisted he did nothing wrong, so I asked for his manager. When she took a look at my hair she said, "You didn't follow the hair line. You went too far back." Loc continued to argue with me, the customer with the messed up hair cut, and was asked by the manager to step back and stop arguing. I was amazed that he continued to argue and say he did nothing wrong right after his manger just told me that "There is room for improvement in regards to my haircut." He never apologized for messing up my hair. The manager Chelsea gave me my money back and said I would get my next hair cut free. I informed her that I would not be back and that it would have been nice of her employee to apologize for totally screwing up my hair instead of arguing with me and insisting he did nothing wrong. I have never had a barber take a chunk out of my hair, but when they made a mistake they admitted they made a mistake...they didn't stand there and argue. read more

Amazing service! and a Amazing Professional cut! I have longer thick,curly hair and i am extremely picky and when i was referred to this specific location-I could have not been happier! I found my new spot for A fantastic hair cut for a fantastic price! Salon hair cut, not Salon Price! Love it! read more

Bearded folks beware! I went here a couple days ago and got a haircut from Viet. He was very nice and my hair came out well. The downfall was next, when I requested my beard be shaped. I explained that I wanted to keep as much length of the bottom but my cheeks needed to be trimmed down. He put a guard on an electric razor and asked if taking half the lengths on my cheeks sounded fine and I agreed. He then proceeded to use the trimmers to take my ENTIRE 3-4 INCH BEARD DOWN TO ABOUT 1/2 INCH. I didn't say anything when he cut into the more lengthy bottom and thus ruined my beard because at that time there was no point. The hair was gone. I understand it will grow back, but having 5 months of hair progress ruined because of someone not knowing how to handle facial hair is very frustrating. He just ran the trimmers with the guard and left it. I honestly can't say I would recommend this place to others and I strongly urge people not to have your beards worked on here. read more

I always take my kids here for affordable hair cuts. I like how they make notes under your name in case the same hairstylist is unavailable. Stephanie is awesome and she even cuts my 1 year olds hair. Always in and out and satisfied with my services. Look out for coupons for $5.99-9.99 a hair cut. read more

I took my young son in and the person was very nice and let him explain what kind of hair cut he wanted. The new store layout is better too, looks cleaner. read more
