I have been going to this great clips location for years and I've always been nice to the people there and often tip cash or extra on my debit card however just 15 or so minutes ago I was informed that I was banned from going their all because one female stylist refused to cut my hair didn't say why, the guy there said there was some disagreement wich confuses me since I was nice to the lady and as far as I remember I was nice and just conversating and asking her to slowly trim it so I can see it so I can get my hair at a comfortable length and she needed help so she asked the guy there the same guy that said I'm banned to help fade my hair as he was showing her how he does it the entire time I was nice and patient and I apologized for taking time and was very patient with her she finally finished up and I even tipped her, so my confusion is why this or whatever reason deservs me banned instead of telling me I'm banned before or simply getting me a different hair dresser instead, this is immature and unprofessional at their end and I can't even get a reason why I'm banned,even my grandfather said no I'm not coming here if he can't anymore that's not cool, so what's this lady's problem that she can't be an adult or was she just embarrassed like a child

I’m always skeptical to get haircuts at new places but needed a last minute cut and decided to give this place a shot and got so lucky to get Patricia! I haven’t loved my haircut in a while and I’m super happy with it! Will definitely be coming back and seeking out Patricia for future cuts!
