Say What I Think

On Tuesday I had a day off, and I really needed a trim. The last time I been to get my hair trimmed was 6 months ago. Yes I know every 6 to 8 weeks is good but shoot, with work and trying to pay off bills getting my hair cut is just hard. I decided I am going back to school and I want to look halfway good. I don’t want to have my hair looking like yesterday garbage which it was starting to. I normally only like taking off about a half of inch, but when I told the guy this he said to get to the split ends I needed close to 1 1/2 inches. I think after all was side or done it was close to 2 inches. Thank goodness I had long her to start with at the worst parts. I let him cut it more then I wanted because I figured get more split in the better.
He told me, I had a lot of hair but it was very fine. I do have fine hair which is sometimes a problem. But let me tell you it gets hot in warm weather and I do like to wear it up most of the time. During the winter months I rather have it down because it just feels better gives some installation to my ears not very much but some.
I can’t say I much like the guy over there, I don’t know he was just to inquisitive of about why don’t I like short hair. So I told him because I don’t want people calling me Sir or talking to me as if I am a man. I have had short hair as a adult and I am not sure how they manage to think I am a guy, when I have boobs but that besides the point. In the winter it happens a lot more then the summer, shoot I still get a few who say sir to me in the winter and it’s annoying. Now I do know plenty of men with long hair like me, but I don’t know any with boobs. Well after saying this to him, he asked me again. Then he asked you like wearing your hair up. I felt almost like he was calling me a liar from my previous statement. I do not like being asked the same question twice, ask my husband he will tell you.
Well I decided not to say much to him after that and be very direct. He had asked how long it’s been since I been in for a trim and I told him the last time I was here. He said that was six months, wow had it already been that long. I guess it was because I got it trimmed to go and see Granny. He told me I needed to come in at least every three months and put voluming stuff in my hair. I asked him what would be good and he said something very brief. When I had checked out before I lift I had asked him what I should get. He just pretty much pointed at the wall, and said the brand. Okay he lost a sale there and was very lucky to get a 2 dollar tip. I try to tip nicely when people do services but seriously I do not feel he earned it.
He should have walked over to the display with me and showed me the different ones he felt would be best. It seems that every year their is a new brand of hear gunk to pick from and I am sorry I am just not going to sit their in a store and try to figure which one is the best. Customer service expecially the type you are giving a person a personal service like cutting their hair, you aught to make sure you are helpful to them. Don’t just point them where they need to go, pointing isn’t showing me anything but a bunch of bottles. With a fractured ankle I am not going to take the time to look through them and try to figure out what is what. I am probably just going to walk away from it. I can find something better at the grocery store, or Target or Wal-mart, at least I expect not to be help there.
Last time I went to great clips I did have a very good experience I had a woman, who actually had very good skills. I guess getting your hair cut depends on the person working with you how happy your going to be like getting micro sd for the computer, not all of them are going to make the computer happy, expecially if you get the wrong one.
The great clips I went to was here in Bloomington MN, close to home. I don’t know how many there are in Bloomington, but I still won’t give the exact location because it puts people a little to close to home.
I will say I was happy with my hair cut and it looks good. He did a very good job with my hair, but didn’t do a good job as fair as listening to me. I appreciate his suggestion, but don’t appreciate some of his mannerism. I would have been a lot more happy if he would have walked over to the display with me and showed me what he felt would be good or at least showed me a couple different things to pick from!
