I’ve been cutting 14 years; 11years at great clips! The job isn’t the issue it’s the negative coworkers! You have to be strong minded and stay to yourself and keep busy so that you don’t have time for drama!
I can’t work with subpar stylists it can rub off on you if you’re not careful. Toxic management also. I wouldn’t dare hire a former manager from their. Their skills Are horrible 😂
The faster you kick them out, the more you get. Sure but where's the creativity, the customer service, the experience? Great clips doesn't have all that. It's all about the money here, not about the service, experience, or quality. It has it's place though, it's about what you want out of this industry. The money comes with how educated and passionate you are.
Awful company that doesn't care about their stylist...first they tell you the floors have mats underneath, then they tell you that they don't use mats because doesn't go with their hideous sailing decor... so they pay you 9 bucks an hour which I think is bull shit because you have to have a license to cut hair. The managers are usually saying they don't like drama because there is drama. The customers that go to this places don't tip well. If you have a license learn how to be a good barber and run from this company!! There's a reason why they are low in staff
Been doing hair a couple years now and done a couple chain shops as well.. this company is legend among stylists in a not so great way 😄 Still wanna give em a try some day just out of curiosity!
You can’t because Great Clip customers are cheap . They’ll sing your praises while you’re there but once you leave very few will follow. They come to you because you’re cheap, and charging higher prices at your booth won’t ride well with a cheap ass Great Clip customer. And yeah try charging great clip prices while booth renting . You might luck out and be busy but you won’t have a life, and if you don’t have a base clientele you won’t make it. Best thing to do is if you do work there on your off day assist a hair dresser who’s successful and they’ll show you how to fish for yourself and grow. Great clips and chain shops don’t really show you how to build from ground zero. They won’t tell you that it’s designed to make them all the money. There slogan it’s gonna be great. For them not you. TRUST !
Great clips is the worst place to work right out of school. At least where I live. They allow customers to insult and scream and stylists when they r unhappy. There r professional ways to handle rude ignorant customers
I have been a barber for 31 years. And telling new beauty school graduates that they have to do 12 to 15 minute haircuts they will never learn the trade. So sad
I didn’t realize that great clips only did clipper cuts. Isn’t that discrimination against women?? On site training?? Minimum wage?.? Doesn’t sound like a very good place for a career! Average $3 an hour, isn’t that below the minimum wage enforced by the state. “You don’t have to be good at haircuts ”as long as you have a good personality? WTF??? I’ve had my haircut there and it’s extremely sporadic as to weather its incredible or horrible, it depends on the stylist. good haircuts are rare in great clips. If you do get a cut that you’re happy with, you can’t request that stylist. You are required to take the next available employee. I was told that they have to be fair and let each stylist have the opportunity to succeed. If they suck, why aren’t they terminated? Checking in with your phone on the way to the shop, isn’t that dangerous?? More and more states are outlawing the use of your phone while in the car. If you have Bluetooth you can make a call, why can’t you just call and put your name on the list?? sounds like there isn’t any “customer service. In researching various beauty shops great clips only offers haircuts and in watching this ad you only Learn clippercuts. Why isn’t the shop name clippercuts?? That would inform your customers that if they don’t want a high and tight they can’t get a quality haircut at great clips! If you’re Paying your stylists $3 an hour and the haircuts there are like $20 and you’re required to to 2.4 cuts per hour but expect you to do around 4 cuts per hour it’s a cash cow for the owner, but how do the employees survive??? $3 per hour equals less than $6300 per year. I don’t know how beauticians can live off of that? You mentioned tips? So if you do 2.4 haircuts per hour to keep your job and the customer gives a 10% tip $2 that will pay staff about 10,000 more a year IF they can keep that money themselves. After reading some other comments regarding great clips the shop owner is intitled to 50-60% of that tip. Even if they are fortunate enough to keep the whole tip, witch I doubt, the beauty operator is still making less than $17,000 per year BEFORE taxes if you take those taxes out at an average of 37% each state has different percentages so I’m using an average here, the beautician is taking home less than $11,000 per year!?! That’s below the poverty line! Don’t go to cosmetology school and rack up student loans, or deplete your savings to pay for that post secondary education to earn below the poverty line! For us customers, going to a higher quality salon and paying a little more for quality service and getting to choose what hairstyle we want, is not only more cost effective but say we’re paying $25 per haircut and the stylist keeps half of that (pretty standard for full service) and they do 2 haircuts per hour they make $25 per hour and if you add in tips (in my opinion customers generally tip more in a higher end salon, the customer service is better, the quality is better and the salon cleaner and up to date) but even if there’re tipping at 10% another$5 per hour, those stylists are making $30 per hour. they are taking home just under $40,000 a year. Moral of this story is... don’t work at great clips! The money alone isn’t worth it, you don’t have the stress of being afraid of losing your job if you can’t cut 2.4 haircuts every hour constantly. In a full service salon the environment is up beat and fun. You’re making DOUBLE the $. You can make additional money when offering additional services I.e. Coloring, waxing etc. plus most full service salons bring in on-site education to keep the stylists up to date on the latest trends, techniques & products to enhance your technical artistic ability , these classes are provided at no cost to the stylists, they are generally provided by the product vendors.Why oh why would you train in an industry only to work somewhere that not only makes you miserable, and constantly afraid of loosing your job all while living below the poverty line?? Because beauty shops are all small businesses there is no health insurance, while this is true in both full service and low end chains At least if you’re making double+ the money, you can at least afford to get your finger stitched up when you you cut yourself. My guess is “ average clips” doesn’t provide band aids. You’ll need to make sure to bring your own, purchased with money from below the poverty line. 🙄 I’m sure it depends on what year the shop was built, but in looking, some of these flags are worn out and dirty. The look like polyester couldn’t the owner take them home and wash them? I realize that great clips don’t have washers and dryers because they have no need for towels. The full service salon I am now patronizing uses a fresh,clean cape for each customer. When I did go to great clips they always used a tattered dirty cape, but I suppose without anyway to clean them?? I think the stylists have to provide their own cape at great clips as none of them ever matched, every color of the rainbow some with the name of a product vendor and even some with the name of other chain salons on them. Am I at great clips , “clippercuts “ or Fantastic Sams?? You’d think they would want to reinforce some brand recognition, but from everything I’ve read about great clips the owners only are interested in their profit. I wonder if they could live just one week on what they pay their stylists. Something else I learned from reading some of the other things about this company is the CEO is a former FAILED great chips franchisee!?! WTF if you can’t manage to stay in business with one of these cash cows, hoe in hell do you get to be CEO.??. I smell a rat. That doesn’t happen especially with a company this enormous. It would be like managing a McDonalds, running it into the ground causing it to close it’s doors. A week later that manager is running the world wide franchise organization. Face it folks, it DOESNT happen. Not unless something unlawful or immoral is going on. My guess is he slept (has sex) with ALL the right people. I guess it’s Somewhat similar to being required to take the next stylist and not the one you got a good cut from last time. The corrupt corporation don’t care . I have to wonder, if, as a customer, you have sex with the CEO, can you request a quality stylist? There doesn’t seem to be any consistency. Generally a franchised business works for consistency and brand recognition. That doesn’t seem to be the case with these morons, some shops are open 7 days a week, others are closed on weekends (isn’t that when most customers would utilize their business) many are closed evenings, another time customers would get a cut. They carry every brand of product imaginable but no two shops carry the same products. you go in,get a haircut, the cutter recommends an over priced product and you cave and purchase it. You run out and stop in at another location To make another purchase but they don’t carry what you want. WTF.?? If you eat at McDonalds and enjoy a Big Mac later you stop to eat at another location they WILL serve a Big Mac.I’ve never heard “oh we don’t sell Big Macs! Regarding the inconsistency with products, you can buy ALL so called “professional “ products at Target, Walmart, the gas station, any store that’s not a beauty shop, all for less money! Don’t get ripped off buying products where you get your haircut. My guess great clips will follow in the footsteps of many restaurant chains like Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr. Subway, Chi Chi’s, and Godfathers pizza. Maybe someone can shed some light on the darkness that is great clips. I look forward to hearing your opinion.
Real professional stylists can make six figures . The average haircuts in a full service salon are about 75.00 . If you do 20 cuts not including Blowdry that’s what 1,500.00 in one day. Not to mention color cuts, extensions. Which per head can together run over 1,500.00 per client. If you’re independent and rent a space you keep 100% even on commission of 50% that’s a pretty great living. These so called affordable hair care centers aren’t good for anyone. Don’t forget Vidal Sassoon was a hairstylist and he wasn’t broke, nor did he charge cheap prices.

Just like 5 star restaurant you get the best. Great Clips is the MC Donald's of hair salons. Good first job out of school.

will ruin your creativity

Sounds like supercuts
So much worse
Pretty much
Most of Great Clip in Dallas/ fortwoth... . The owners from INDIAN... IF stylist work there ....They must cut from 12 to 15 minutes../per haircut. .

How much is the pay per hour as a stylists?
High school students make more per hour 😆

Expect lice and a bad hair cut !! Speaking from experience 😔
!
Omg no she didn't. You want young aňd dumb. You really put your foot in mouth.
