Please post scans..

You usually get what you pay for at great clips. I wouldn't suggest paying more than $10 for their services.

What's the different between and good and a bad haircut? .... 2 weeks....

Missed this deal last year!! Thanks!!

I bought 12 (a years worth) haircuts...great deal!

So buy 5 haircuts. I like it because I get the coupon price without having to dig around for coupons. Two downsides, you tie up $100 for a year and you could possibly lose the card.

You've actually given 2 superb examples for why NOT to buy 5 haircuts. A third is that, in my area (Norcal), they cycically have BETTER deals for buy-one-at-a-time haircuts... as in this Saturday and Sunday, walk-ins are $8.99.

Somerset County NJ coupons range from $6.99 - $9.99, also get $2.00 off coupons and sometimes $4.00 off coupons printed on the receipt. every once in a while there are $2.99 at a Great Clips Grand opening. The key is to visit different Great Clips in the area to get on their coupon mailing list. Also note that an Adult Male haircut varies from location to location $11.99 to $14.99. As pointed out above, there are so many other offers, it almost doesn't make sense to get the $9.99 Card. I have held off for this reason.

Got an $8.99 cut today, no coupon, no bundled purchase required. Apparently, my last cut was in June, so I'm good for a while.

I tip a buck or two. My haircuts take 10-15 minutes. A tip is a thank you, not a payment.

When the woman at a Great Clips near Phoenix was looking over the rules for the card purchases, it said minimum two haircuts, maximum ten haircuts per card. I like this deal because I get frequent haircuts and the coupons and walk-in specials have been less frequently available in my area. Sure, if a Val-Pak or coupon flyer with the grocery ads comes in for $6.99 to $8.99, I will use it. My local coupons usually expire within a few weeks, so only one can be used. But this is helpful for when those deals are not around. The grocery receipt deals for GC have not been available in my area in recent years.

As for quality, it really depends on the individual and if one or two do it better, it might be best to try to arrange something. I do very much like their late hours (most close at 9PM in Arizona).

That's what I want to know. If no expiration would be good for when coupons aren't around.
