You know how we were told when we were in school that if we didn't study hard, we'd wind up "digging ditches for a living." Wrong. We'd have wound up working in this Great Clips. I mean Great Clips is known as the ass-end of the coiffing world, but this one is abysmal.
I knew I was going to have to endure them asking my phone number and name in front of a room full of people. I have not given my real name or real number...ever. So, they insist on making me fabricate stuff. Which leads to other pointless questions in front of the group. Why does it matter if I have ever been here before??!! Why do you need my phone number to cut my hair??!! It doesn't ! And you don't!
I went in (after having boycotted GC for more than 5 years) on July 1. I desperately needed a haircut and it was about 95 degrees outside. I was praying for a mediocre experience. My prayer was obviously not just denied but angrily rejected. My "stylist," as they are all wont to do, reeked of tobacco and had hideous tattoos. The only thing missing were fresh stitches. She talked non-stop about her son's gf having another baby and she knows it's not his. Similar conversations were happening on either side of me. God, just get me out of here with no mess ups with my hair. Nope. Prayer rejected. I asked for sideburns to be cut center of the ear hole, my "stylist" cut them even with the bottom of my hair line around my ear.
All these places are the same because the same type of employee, sorry, "stylist" is drawn to it. They all rail against their managers and franchise owners and they have zero customer service (listening) skills. I almost forgot, she did ask how I wanted my hair cut (since it wasn't listed under my 'phone number,' but she did her self absorbed monologue the entire time I was in the chair. I did interrupt one time and ask about my gray hair, she suggested a different shampoo.
Bottom line: they don't care, they don't know how to act in public, they do a mediocre job with hair and you are completely stressed when you leave here.
Do not go here! read more
