Being a hairdresser means you have to be nice to people. Plain. And. Simple.
I checked in on-line like I normally do. I arrived at the designated time. I answer the girl politley. 'Yes, I checked in online.'
'So, how do you want your hair cut today?'
'Errr, uhh just the usual.'
'Well, what is that?'
'Um, I'm not sure. You usually tell me that we do a certain # on the sides and cut a certain amount off the top...' She sighs heavily and walks two steps to the computer. 'The only notes we have is to take 3/4 in. off the top.'
' Hmmm. That's odd. I'm sorry. I can show you a picture but I'm afraid to tell you the wrong # guard. Let me pull up a picture.' Another heavy sigh.....
Picture is seen and cut commences.
Cue the next customer...
"Hi. Welcome to Great Clips. Did you check in online? Are we still doing a 2 on the top and a 4 on the sides?"
WTH????
I've been here a ton of times. Same hair cut. Same phone number. Never been treated like I was so inept before. If you're having a bad day, don't take it out on me. If you hate your job, again dont take it out on me.
Commence the talking to another stylist on how dead it's been all day and suddenly so busy the last hour of work. .. Sorry to be such an inconvenience. I guess I'll go somewhere else to free you up.
