Thursday Thoughts: How Bad Is Getting a Great Clips Haircut?

HI ya Gorgeous,
It's Thursday, and I was going to post about a new beauty product I received and then some upcoming events, though this, couldn't wait and I think it could benefit from being addressed.



What to do about a bad haircut? How do you  rectify it with the stylist at the salon? Who hasn't had a bad haircut? I received the worst haircut of my life last May for my birthday. I live in the Tri- State area of Arizona and I went to a salon in Bullhead City called Studio 11 - whoa - that girl butched myI hair so bad with crooked bangs and layers I didn't ask for.





Today I write about my experience with the Great Clips in the Mohave Crossing shopping center of Bullhead City, or technically, Mohave Valley.  I have been taking my son there for several months.  At 3 weeks on the dot he needs a hair cut to keep his hair at a regulation length for his squadron. Our normal gal was not there and a new gal called him to the chair for a cut. I showed her the photo I keep on my phone of the best barber cut in the world from 12th St Barber in Parker.  Why don't I take him there? Because it's 2 hours and 20 minutes away - we only go there when we are visiting in that town. 




The thing about Great Clips is that it's a fast and inexpensive place to get a hair cut and many a beauty school student gets their start there.  On this occasion an older woman who would not give her name, cut my son's hair - and when she did, she cut 3 large blocky chunks into the side and back of his head with a hole towards the occipital bone.

The physical hair cut is grotesque and his head has been shaved close to cut out the large gaps, though that isn't the worst part. 

It's the service. 


Am I wrong as a customer to want my son's haircut to be even and not have a hole cut into the back of his hair? It looked like the back of Neo's head in the Matrix -like - "insert plug here". Because he is a kid, does that make him less of a customer? Or his money less valuable?

The hairstylist clapped back in anger that "she is a big time stylist from the big city and isn't used to doing small podunk town hair". Oh.


So that's it.

People in small towns deserve bad hair cuts and worse service?

Another stylist tried to fix it before surmising the only fix was a shaving...and even then the big time stylist from the big city continued to cuss me for calling out her sloppy unskilled small town hatin' hair cut.

Stylists, how would you have handled the situation?Please let me know in the comments.


Personally ...I am this "-" close to buying a Flowbee and cutting it myself!

Remember: you are beautiful! Thank you for visiting the blog and check back for promotions and beauty giveaways!
