For busy families wanting to look their best, who need flexibility and are smart money managers, Great Clips at Arbor Square in Land O’ Lakes is the ideal hair salon.
Its staff has years of experience and are just as knowledgeable about the latest trends and techniques as stylists working at expensive salons.
“We are very, very good at cutting hair,” said Gail, manager of this new Great Clips salon.
Gail has been a stylist for 10 years and was most recently director of New Dimensions Academy of Beauty in Tampa. Marquita, Theresa, Flower, Nicole and Sara, who are part of this great team, bring with them more than 25 years experience in the hair industry.
“What really makes our team special is that we’ve been together since our salon opened in July,” said Gail. “We work extremely well together and always put customers first.”
Great Clips at Arbor Square is in the Publix shopping center at the entrance to Connerton and The Groves. It is also close to many subdivisions along U.S. 41, including Lakeshore Ranch, Tierra del Sol, Asbel Creek, Wilderness Lakes and Lake Padgett.
“A lot of guests come by before or after shopping at Publix,” said Gail. For customers who want to plan ahead, they can check in up to two hours in advance using the Great Clips mobile app. On-line check-in puts customers at the top of the wait list when they arrive at the salon.
For walk-in guests, the wait is minimal. “We are busiest on weekends, but are always fully staffed to make sure guests do not have to wait long,” Gail said.
Affordability also attracts people to Great Clips. A regular haircut is $14 for adults (men or women), and $12 for seniors and children 10 and under. If you use the Great Clip’s coupon, printed every other week in The Laker, a haircut is just $6.99.
Other services are also priced much lower than traditional hair salons. Perms start at $35, a blow dry and style begins at $20, and formal up-do hairstyles are also offered at very reasonable prices.
“We have customers who have their hair colored at a traditional salon, and then to save money, come here to have their hair cut and styled,” said Gail.
Gail and her staff are committed to community service projects. They recently sponsored a Paw-Wash Fundraiser at the Pasco County Animal Services that raised $200 for shelter dogs.
It was such a huge success that the shelter encouraged the Great Clips’ crew to come back on a regular basis. “We are also open to other ideas that help local organizations and our community. Please give us a call and we’ll be happy to help,” says Gail.
