Let me start by saying how much I love Silvia, who has cut my hair several times, and is consistently my favorite! Joe and Tracy are also good, but Silvia is quick and knows to thin out my hair (I have very thick Asian hair that gets uncomfortable in warm weather) without me having to ask. When I can help it, I wait for Silvia.
This Great Clips location in Brookside Plaza has become my primary stop for a haircut, and my partner has gotten nice trims several times as well. I use the Great Clips app on Android to check in, so I almost never have to wait.

Let me start by saying how much I love Silvia, who has cut my hair several times, and is consistently my favorite!

This Great Clips location in Brookside Plaza has become my primary stop for a haircut, and my partner has gotten nice trims several times as well. I use the Great Clips app on Android to check in, so I almost never have to wait. The store is conveniently located in the middle of the plaza, and there's PLENTY of parking - literally 5x more parking than probably necessary in that plaza. Handicap accessible parking nearby, with several access ramps. On Saturday and Sunday the whole plaza can get really crowded. During the weekdays around 12 noon, it can also get busy from the deli and Stella's traffic. You never have to park too far, though, because of how big the lot is - just be careful, sometimes folks drive a little too fast in the big lot. This Great Clips is a copy-and-paste of just about every other Great Clips location I've gone to, right down to the decorations and even the smell. Man, I love the smell of hair products, and this place doesn't disappoint. The staff keeps the place pretty clean. The waiting area is generally pretty nice, but can get a little crowded if you go during peak hours (though I'll usually check in on the app and wait in my car until I'm next if there's a crowd). Everyone is reasonably courteous, and seems to know their trade well (Sylvia is my favorite, and Joe & Tracy are good too). I'm often in and out in just 10 ~ 15 minutes. Prices are very good. Bear in mind, I have a pretty simple hairstyle, so your mileage may vary if you have a more complicated hairstyle. The Great Clips in Brookside Plaza is my #1 spot to get a hair cut, at the moment. Sylvia has gotten my hairstyle perfect every time, and the location is so convenient for me.
Yesterday stopped by at 4:45pm (Tuesday). The employee said they are open till 5 and she is not taking anyone. On the door to the business working hours a clearly stated as 9am to 9pm. Nevertheless, feels like no one is running the business. Wouldn't recommend.
