I am absolutely disgusted at the ignorance of one the staff members. I am Black with med/long length straight hair. This wasn't my first time here (not that it matters). When the lady checked me in she stared for a minute then proceeded to ask if I was getting haircut in which I responded "yes". She then looked confused then asked "is it your natural hair". As if a black girl can't have long hair. At that moment I decided to leave because I was baffled that she just asked me such questions. Which also let me know she's clearly not experienced enough to cut hair of different ethnicities. Great Clips do better with hiring!
