Called the Ellerslie location to ask if they could handle biracial hair where one parent is of African descent and they said they could do a trim. I ended up checking in online at the South Common location as it was more convenient for us. My two girls, my mom and I walked into the South Common location around 12:30 pm on Wed Aug 29th 2018. As soon as the group of stylists saw us, they starting shaking their heads. They were smiling but asked if I was there to have my daughters' hair done. I said yes and they started shaking their heads again saying they could not do "curly hair", and one of them came over and touched my eldest daughter's hair without permission which was quite rude as if to demonstrate that her hair was impossible. It was disrespectful and unnecessary. Black people often have to go to great lengths and expense to get their hair done, I was under the mistaken impression that a popular chain salon would have trained stylists in all hair types or least be able to politely and in detail explain why they cannot. It is not that her hair is curly, I am sure it is because it is Afrocentric. If my girls were all black, I would not bother, but they are mixed and the texture is definitely manageable with some care and effort. Sensitivity training would be ideal in this scenario. I have booked with Beaners (who train all their stylists to handle all nationalities and textures) and hope all other parents know not to take their afrocentric haired children to Great Clips.

I wish i could gave them 0 stars. I clearly told her that don't shorten my hair. Before the haircut my ponytail could reach upto my waist but now it don't even reach my shoulder. She didn't even wet my hair and just started to cut it in random parts. She didn't even do the middle partition or something like that. Now when i see my hairs i can see all those uneven layers. Now it looks really bad.

We just moved to the southside. Was looking around for something affordable since every other place was charging 40 to 70 bucks for a womans cut!(ridiculous) I just needed to get my split ends chopped. My hair is purple so it had alot of split ends and i am so happy she managed not to take off too much lenght off. Fast, friendly and affordable and she did a great job. Honestly i didnt get her name. (the Asian lady)lol. I am very satisfied with the service and price! And she did a great job! . So happy with this place will definitely go back.

Great Clips is the WORST! Stay away. Now I remember why I stopped going to these type of establishments. I originally went to great clips (different location) for my first time a little while ago. I was pleasantly surprised at my cut back then, I also liked the fact that they record exactly what they did in regards to the cut so next time you go they can recreate the same results. I decided to go again yesterday only to be told they had no record of my first visit, that kind of defeats the purpose of recording all the information if you're not going to SAVE IT! They were acting like it was my fault they lost it so I left that location already very disappointed. However I decided to give Great Clips another chance but at a different location (South common). She didn't take her time, it was as if she just wanted to get it over with as fast as possible which is odd because the location was dead, I was the only one in there. I asked for a standard cut with a fade on the sides... Even while she was doing the sides I kept reminding her, she just nodded and kept agreeing with me. Due to the poor lighting in this location I couldn't see her handy work until I got home.. there was no fade, uneven lines. I had to go get it fix else where. Never going back!
