This was the last time I’ve been to a…
This was the last time I’ve been to a Great Clips Salon. The hairdresser was very rude and condescending and didn’t listen at all to how I wanted my haircut. I had long grey hair, yes, grey because I am older, but not elderly, and there is no reason to treat people like this at any age. And I imagined a sassy A-line Bob as a cut , which would still be long enough, so I could grab it all in a ponytail when the summer heat gets unbearable. Right from the get-go the “specialist” insisted that this would be difficult and bobs cannot be so long to fit in a ponytail. (Well I have seen it done many times on YouTube and Instagram) Then she demanded that I had to tell her how long I wanted it in the front. I tried to explain more, but was constantly interrupted by her, because she didn’t want to listen until her question was answered. I have had this type of haircut done several times in other places, even in once in Germany and every time they started in the back and move up to the front, while this lady wanted it the other way around. And was not interested in how long I wanted it in the back. She got more and more inpatient and rude in her mannerisms and I was close to throw in the towel and to just get up and leave. Now, back home I am regretting not having done just that. My hair is longer in the back than in the front, the opposite of what I wanted, no A-line in sight and no, she didn’t offer me a complete view with a second mirror at the end, now I know why. I payed $20 ($16 for the cut and $4 for a tip, yes I tipped her despite her unprofessional behavior, just because I am not a petty person) but ended up with a frumpy haircut and now I am contemplating on going to a “real” and professional hairstylist next week.
