      Pros

      the one good reason to work at great clips is that you do not have to spend a lot on nice clothes. the dressed down the better. everyone looks poor that works there. all in black

      Cons

      everyone has to do haircuts in 11 minutes!! 11 minutes is not long enough to do quality so they want quantity but most clients have to return and get the awful haircut fixed. I think they should let the required haircut time be longer then they would maybe get stylists that know how to do a quality cut not just work in a chop shop. I am actually surprised anyone ever returns for a second cut, which is not that often

      We are sorry you had this experience. Our advised haircut times are based on years of data we have collected that shows the optimal time it should take to complete a haircut. Every customer deserves a personal, quality experience. More time may be needed with some to ensure that happens and clearly others take less time. If you would like to share more, please email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the location where you were employed. We can then provide your feedback to the franchisee of the salon as well. Thank you.

      Pros

      Become immensely well versed with cutting hair really quickly, training, and simple in and out kind of job

      Cons

      It becomes exhausting. You go in, cut hair, and go home. It doesn't really foster creativity and after a year or two, has led me to want to leave the field all together.

      We are sorry to see your frustration with the management. Since each salon is independently owned and operated, the person who would be best able to address your concerns would be your former franchisee. If you would like, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the location where you were employed. We will then forward it to the franchisee for follow up. Thank you.
