Great Clips - oak harbor - Oak Harbor (WA)

1 /5 Savannah Morse: I normally never write reviews but this haircut experience was awful. I asked for an inch off the bottom, face framing pieces and a ton of layering. With extra emphasis on that I really needed a lot of layers for my curly hair. I fully understand that they’re understaffed and being rushed but I purposefully came in the early afternoon on a weekday to try and avoid it as much as possible and not cause more stress. I should have left the moment they ran a comb through my dry curly hair. It caused everything to frizz and they cut it that way, they didn’t dampen it to the point it would’ve made sense to even run a comb through it. The person who cut my hair rushed through it so poorly that I had to point out my hair cut was an uneven length in the front when they asked if I wanted anything else. There was little to no layering done, especially in the back. And I had to repeatedly ask for more layers. There was no true layering done anywhere I didn’t specifically point out and instead chunks of my hair were held up to the side and bluntly cut. Nothing was done to try and feather it out to look more natural. This hair cut somehow both makes my hair look like nothing was done and yet also worse? I now have large choppy layers in the front and very flat, with almost no layering, hair in the back. While they were cutting my hair they were talking to a coworker about how ready they were to leave and while I don’t want to be callous about that, it did feel as though my hair cut was extremely rushed due to that. When they finished my haircut, they sprayed it down with water and applied a huge gob of curl crème to my slightly damp hair. My hair was crunchy and sticky in patches for the rest of the day until I was able to wash it out. I would not recommend people with curly hair come here until the basics of cutting curly hair are communicated with the staff. I don’t know if this was their first time or if they were exhausted from a long shift but I’m unemployed and was so happy to be able to afford a hair cut with my coupon just to feel absolutely screwed over with a haircut worse than what I went in with. Please speak with the individual who has a pixie cut, as this seems out of character for a hair stylist.

1 /5 M Wallace: Been here four times each time with someone different and only once was I happy with my haircut. Today I received the worst butchering of my life. My haircut is very simple and I explained very clearly what I wanted which was also available in my clip notes…I did not want bald patches and uneven lines. If you’re feeling brave you might get lucky and get the one stylist who knows what they’re doing but it’s not worth the risk! Go anywhere else. I hear the haircuts in prison are decent-definitely can’t be worse than what you would get here.

1 /5 katie tucker: Only go here if you want to support the abuse of good dedicated workers. Management is abusive and atrocious. And dont think they care about the customers any more than they care about the workers. Their entire business model is to nickel and dime you until your 13 dollar haircut is 40 dollars. Shady business, even shadier owners and a sad excuse for management.

1 /5 Lulu Raavel: So disappointed to learn my favorite stylist. Amy- is gone. I only went to this shop because of how awesome a stylist she was. No one else there could ever cut my hair just right. I know several others who are upset about her being gone as well! I also recently was charged $22 for my grandsons haircut. He’s five and should have been charged for a child’s cut. I didn’t speak up and I should have. If I find out where Amy has gone that’s where I’ll be going too! No more Great Clips for me. (From what I hear now it’s more like NOT SO GREAT Clips….)

1 /5 Armanda Kwiatkoski: Worst cut ever!!! I wish I knew her name December 29 2024 I showed her what I wanted and got what she chose to do!!! Along with the sides, back and top are all too long and uneven!!!
