I've gotten my hair cut at great clips three times prior to today and they did a good job on my hair those three times. Today just wasn't their day I guess.
I went in and was seated by an older woman that works there, kinda has a deep voice. She told me that the last three haircuts I got were a 6 and a 6. I told her I wanted that same haircut just a little bit longer. She asked if I wanted to try a seven and I said sure. She shaved some hair off the side with the seven and asked if that looked short enough on top. I told her that I didn't really know how that would translate to my top (didn't know she was gonna buzz me..) and basically reiterated what I said before. Just give me the same haircut I always get, just a little longer. So I told her that if I got a 6 and a 6 last time, to just give me a seven and a seven. She then proceeds to buzz my head. Now when I got a 6 and a 6 (according to them at least) my bangs came about half way down my forehead and the sides were a little bit longer. After she buzzed my top and I realized that my haircut had been ruined she went on to tell me that I had gotten a 6 and a 6 every other time. I don't know whose fault this was exactly. I now know that I never got a 6 and a 6, there's just no way. My hair is way too short at 7 and 7 so there's no way I ever got a 6 and a 6. So maybe it was whoever put the information in there that messed it up for the woman who cut my hair. The girl who cut my hair before and did a good job was actually there and told the woman what she did wrong. I don't know if the woman just didn't read the additional information that might have been there, or if the girl who cut my hair the first time didn't include the necessary information to give me the haircut I always got. What I thought was a very very easy to understand concept of giving me the same damn haircut, just leaving it a little longer turned into the exact opposite. This is a really annoying problem for me too because when my hair is really short it sticks out on the sides and looks really dorky. So when I said I wanted it a little longer than last time that was so my hair wouldn't stick out so much. Now I have to go through that annoying process again.. Hooray for looking like a dork. I guess I'll buy a hat. Thanks, Great Clips. Never coming back EVER. read more
