After fighting my 5 year old son's request to cut his adorable long locks for quite some time, I had a weak moment on a Saturday afternoon in March... I had both of my kids with me after a trip to the Target in this shopping center, and I made a pit stop at this Great Clips location to see what kind of wait there was to get in. To my surprise, I learned that there was not a wait and that Regina could get my son in right away.
I was hesitant already to trust a stranger with my child's first haircut (outside of the trims he'd gotten from a family member previously). I swear - I had butterflies in my stomach as my daughter and I watched...
I was also nervous about how my son would do sitting in a big chair, sitting still for the cut and the shave, etc... but he did great!
We requested a mohawk and I showed Regina some images of what I had in mind. She told me we should go the fauxhawk route instead and suggested the ideal length so that when we didn't style it, it would still look decent... she did her thing and my son has gotten a ton of compliments ever since!
I was upsold on some gel for the fauxhawk, so we walked out the door 20 minutes or so later with a clean cut and very excited kid plus a firm hold gel for $21.85 + tip. As we drove home, my daughter requested a mohawk also... "no honey," I said. I think it will be a long time if ever before I let that happen!
I had low expectations of Great Clips, but they definitely delivered and I'd return for a fauxhawk clean up in a heartbeat!
