Great Clips has been catering to their customers since 1982. However, they haven't been catering much to their employees as of lately. This past year and a half has changed a lot. The whole country is running short staffed and Great Clips salon are no different.

I know my salon is not the only one struggling to stay open for 12 hours, 7 days a week with the exception of weekends. If we do not have the staff to be open for 12 hours, why try to spread our employees thin? When in reality without us you won't have a salon to run.

We've lost several stylists in the last few months and it's become very clear that our hours of operation and our 9 hour shifts are the biggest issue for our stylists. People have realized through this pandemic that their time is valuable and their time spent with their families is more important that working 40 hour work weeks, nights and weekends. They want their time back. They don't want to spend all their time short staffed at work with customers not understanding the issue we have staying staffed. We've spoiled our customer to think we are always there for them whenever they need us, but we don't have the staff to do that for them anymore. 

I believe that we will all have happier salons if we change our hours of operation for all Great Clips Salons nation wide to 9-7 Monday through Friday and 10-6 Saturdays and be closed on Sundays. These hours need to be permanent, even after covid 19.  I know it would be an adjustment for our customers but these hours would still make it easy for them to get their haircuts, hopefully with shorter wait times due to having more stylists on staff. I truly believe we will be able to have a more energized staff that want to work for Great Clips with these new hours of operation. Please help us stay staffed by signing this petition to change our hours of operation for ALL Great Clips salons across the nation.
