I mentioned to the man on the phone that I had purchased a groupon for a full color, cut and style. \nI am new to Charlotte and thought purchasing the groupon would be a good way to discover a great hair stylist that I could see every 6 weeks. \nWhen I arrived today at 1pm, the girl Jennifer came over to me and said she was running a bit late. She then asked me how was I going to pay. I told her I had a groupon and she said in a very snarky tone that she doesn't do those anymore! I told her I had mentioned it when I booked my appointment and she said there was a mistake. \nShe said she would be WILLING to do my hair anyways at her full prices. \nIt seemed like she was looking down on me because I had a groupon. \nI didn't feel comfortable and felt like her attitude around groupons was unprofessional. I told her no thank you and left. \nThis was my only day off in 8 days. I am a very good tipper and would have been a regular client had I enjoyed the experience. Instead I was made to feel like a less than person because I bought a groupon. \nI left this salon feeling very upset. Groupons are great ways to establish good clientele and yes I know that sometimes they attract a lot of cheapskates but this was not the case with me. I had even asked when I called in for my appointment what the price originally would be to get this service and made sure that I had enough cash in my purse to tip 25% -30% of the original price. \nI am disgusted and I hope this salon owner speaks to her employees about how to treat people. \nDo the math, one groupon would have equaled a cut and color every 6 weeks plus tip. \nHopefully I will find a stylist that appreciates and values new clients."^^ .
