Welcome to JC! Estella in Great Clips. She splits her time between the Portofino location (waterfront) and Newark Ave. $25 + tip (which is a very good price for the area), and sometimes you can get coupons for $15. I’ve been cutting my hair with her for the past 2 years after trying a few, not as good and twice the price!

Does anyone have a cleaning service they’d recommend? One that actually really cleans and doesn’t just surface level wipe stuff down? 🙏🏻
