stylist

I have been working for great clips for 2 years now and i really enjoy my job. I do my best to make every customer happy and provide them with a quality cut. it makes my day when i see a client smile when i finish their hair. while i do wish i was making more, i make enough to support myself and my two kids. I feel blessed to have a steady job in this economy although i do feel that some of the corporates expectations are unreasonable. it is never fair to take out any frustrations on customers. But some people u can never make happy. if u have been to many different great clips and stylists and were never happy with your experie nce, maybe YOUR the problem. also it helps to be specific about how u want your hair. dont get annoyed when we ask u questions about your hair unless u really dont care how it turns out. and dont show us a picture of a haircut with straight hair if u have curly hair unless you are willing to straighten it everyday.and if u want it shorter just tell us we really do want to make u happy. If u are rude from the beginning u may make us nervous and the haircut may not come.out right. as far as tips, i dnt expect any more than two dollars from a 5 min buzz cut. but if u have long tangled hair that takes 30-45 min, it is very discouraging to get less than 5 dollars. we really do live off our tips and i always thank every customer. after all, if it wasnt for the customer, we wouldn't have a job! I dnt know how long i will stay with great clips, i am 21 just hoping to gain some experience. but please dont judge all great clips on one bad haircut. while there is no excuse, we all have our bad days. i would be lieing if i said i have never messed up. Also, while this isnt an easy job, i dont think i would call it exaughsting, try warehouse work lifting heavy boxes all day or cleaning houses scrubbing toilets. we are never on our feet for 10 straight hours. law requires a break after 5 hours. somedays are harder than others but overall i enjoy my job and i am very sorry to anyone who has had a bad experience at great clips.
