Great Clips

WORST COMPANY EVER

8/12/22

I made an online appointment at the green hills nashville location to get my hair cut on wednesday at approximate 2:07pm. My computer showed there was a 35 minute wait, so I arrived at the location approximately 2:45pm only to be told by the ONLY hair stylist still left in the building that SHE WAS CLOSING GREAT CLIPS in order to pick up her child at school, that the other hair stylists had already left to pick up their children at school, and that I would have to come back another time! The location showed that there were more than a dozen names waiting for appointments to have their hair cut, the wait time showed 90 minutes, yet all the customers were kicked out?

I told the stylist that I could not come back later. Her response was that her child is more important than great clips or my hair, and she "had to do what she had to do". I was told to leave in no uncertain terms, because she had to lock up.

Is this what great clips has degenerated into? Employees closing locations in the middle of the day despite full appointments? With zero thought or regard to their customers? No notice whatsoever... continuing to take appointments knowing customers are driving to the location to be met with closed/locked doors?

Even worse, I wrote to great clips corporate customer service about my BAD experience on wednesday... they blew me off and said that the store franchise owner would take care of my complaint, but to reach out again in case I did not hear from him that day

I wrote to corporate customer service again on thursday saying no one reached out... they gave me the very same run around... contact us tomorrow if nothing has been done yatta yatta

I wrote them again on friday... still the same pass the buck... who cares? attitude

The corporate fat cats at great clips have become fantastically wealthy and transformed great clips into a $2 billion company, but they could care less about the little guy who are contributed to their $multi-million dollar salaries

Tip:

be a patron of an owner operator hair cutting place. corporate fat cats could care less about you

in the past I have been going to great clips for my haircuts for over ten years
