I walk in and say I have a coupon for new customer $2 off and a senior $2 off. How would that work? Can I use both? Your all set. Umm what does that mean but ok. My hair was very long and grown out. I point to desired length and asked that the hair be blended to that length with long layers. Stylist asked what about the sides, umm, cut at an angle. Ok. So, to my shock she opens her scissors and starts scissor blade hacking at my hair. Like a razor cut. Who does that without being requested or at least asked. To be polite, I said does Great Clips have a specific way of cutting. Thinking it was their style. Nope. She said it was whatever she wanted. She did not get the hint. So, I tried another approach and said I don't want to ask for my hair to be shorter when you done. Stylist it doesn't matter I am just starting, and I will be blending in .... and she did she cut my hair over and over and at one point she said it will be like a mullet ... WHAT! I ask her a couple of questions and she said (are you ready) that she was not licensed to EDUCATE so she could not answer. I couldn't believe it. Should I leave? My hair was such a mess. More scissor as razor cutting, can you see the frizz. Then she switched to chipping in. I happen to like a little chipping but further up on the strand. So, I asked could you chip closer to the root. CLOSER she said no because then your cutting hair. Yup that's the idea. Apparently, she wasn't educated in the word 'closer' and chipping is not hunks of hair. So, as I explained she spoke over me and said see there is a communication problem because I do not understand her. Sure. Sounds like these issues and excuses are common for this person. Ok one more. I asked her what color would you say my hair is, it faded out after being colored. She said she is not a licensed colorist and won't know. I could not help it I chuckled. I thought she was kidding. I said come on. Maybe she missed colors in early elementary school.
O I wanted long layers, halfway through and really thinking of calling it and leaving, I reminded her of the long layers and side. She said we won't know until I'm done and see where it lands. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have 1 inch layer to start and maybe 3.5 inches at the bottom ... not long. And less not forget the 1950's bangs .... I didn't walk in with bangs. And didn't ask for bangs.
Paying. Blank stare. Got a lot of that. So, I can use both the coupons. Stylist I do not know. Blank stare. What are they, seemingly not recall of what I said when I entered. Or just being ????? So I repeated. More I don't know I have to see them. Ok I'll have to go to my car. Had she asked for them in the beginning instead of saying you're ok, I would have gotten them at that time. We went from blank stare to blank stare and some eye rolling. Throughout the cut she was saying you're ok, all the time. I understand that is an expression but enough is enough and clearly I wasn't ok. Say what you mean. Yup we alternated between 'you're ok' and 'she wasn't an educator' (obviously).
Haircut zero because it wasn't what I asked for. And stylist had no intention of listening to what I wanted.
