Great Clips hair loss

on September 25 2008 I went to the above salon for a perm, I had had a perm 2 months previous to this which was a disaster, only half of my hair was permed, I looked like I had a mohawk. We went on vacation and when we returned
I went back for them to correct this mess. I made an appointment for a cut and perm. The gentleman who I requested said ok. He looked at my hair and said it was dry in which I already knew. He put a conditioner on my hair and proceeded with the perm. He checked it once and said it was not done yet, He came back a few minutes later and looked and immediatly took the cap off and what I thought was a few rollers in the back of my head and immediatly rinsed them off then he applied the nutrlizer. when he as done I looked at the back of my head and there was a bald spot the size of a golf ball or the size of about 3 rollers. I asked him what that was he told me it was there already and caused by stress. This is not true I did not have a bald spot on my heard when I went in there. All he had to say was I didn't do it.
I have talked to 3 beauticians since this happened and they all said the same thing it was over processed. He (Ben) would not cut my hair after the perm he said it was to short.
It was to short alright because if he had cut it I could not hide the bald spot.
I do not know what else to say. It was and still is a horrible experience I'm 73 years old and have had perms for at least 40 years and never ever had this happen.

Do you have hair growing in the bald spot now?
If you do, it still isn't the perm, but the stylist doing it. He may have had the rods too tight with the band cutting the hair.
If you still don't have hair growing in, it has nothing to do with the perm or the stylist. If it is a round shape instead of a rectangle, it probably is internal.
Don't go to Great Clips for a perm anyway. The stylist is stuck on the chemical service that can take up to 2 hours, meanwhile the others are making four times as much in tips.
I know that sounds horrible, but that is how the stylist make their living.

Great Clips scam and lies

Great Clips refused to do my daughters hair because I didn't have an appointment. There were 3 employees in the store with my daughter and myself as the only customers. I was told by the stylist that "if I do your daughters hair then I wont get paid by any other customer if they come in". I said, "so you are refusing to do my daughters hair because someone else 'Might' come in?"

She said that I would have to leave and make an appointment.

Do not they brag about the "walk in and sit right down" deal? What a big lie!

You are not required to make an appointment for a haircut. Not only that the Great Clips that I work at only accept appointmnents over the internet and in store for hairstyles because we are a busy fast paced salon.

Great Clips does not take appointments so this complaint makes no valid sense.

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I took my son into a Great Clips hair salon in Atlanta, Ga. I ask for the good barber. This one time, my husband took my son for his school cut, to the good Barber. He was also the Assistant Manager. He not only smelled like alcohol. I felt like he was drulling over my son. I felt so uncomfortable. I was so appalled! I want to put his name out there. His name is Dennis Cortez.

Great Clips yelled at us

I've been going to Great Clips for 3 yrs and always ask for the only good barber. This one time, my wife took my son for his school cut but the good barber wasn't in so the asst manger cut my sons hair. It was horrible. Like a cereal bowl cut. I took him back the next day and nicely explained to her that my son wasn't happy and could he get it cut the way he wanted. To make a long story short, the asst manager and the manager began to call my son a liar and yell at my wife and said they'd have to pay again.

Barber name is Norma .

1) she did not show my past hair cut notes .

2) I said to cut back and sides as #2 and top is #1.5 and front is #2 inches . Instead she cut back and sides as #1 and top is #2 .

3) she was so rudely speaking as if I told her to cut my hair at free of cost  .

Went in for a simple cut and left with no hair, told the stylist "DO NOT CUT THE TOP OR THE BANGS"! which she did. Now the top is so short I cannot even use a curling iron. Paid $19.00 + $5.00 tip.

Stylist did not even listen to what I wanted. Won't be going back in less it is to get my money back.

The lady didn’t even wet my hair for haircut n cut it according to her choice. One side was big the other side was short and when I said it she blindly said no it’s correct. She said I was not born with good hair. Very very bad service. And who should the tip be minimum of 5 I can’t afford it that’s y I choose coupon.

Long wait times, wrong hours, 5 walkins turned away in the 1.5 hours that I waited then badmouthing disgruntled customers- poor time management. I had come the day before as a walkin and it was also a long wait. Coming here is a chore. I would rather drive to Pflugerville. Floor was a mess of hair, waiting area in front hot during the long wait.

Jan 14,2023, Sat down on the chair, told her what I wanted, she wet my hair down, what I didn’t like was she held the bottle back so far that it felt like a shower, I told her I had a shower this morning, from then on she developed an attitude, not a good experience.

I askd for a styling when stylist asked me for instructions. Upon paying she charged for haircut plus styling. This is not a valid honest policy but a misunderstanding of pricing by operators who do not understand price policies. I was charged 42 dollars for a haircut with dryer?
