I booted up my Great Clips app and found that I was signed out for some reason. I went to sign in and couldn’t remember my sign in info. Did I use my Yahoo email address? Was my account through Google? I checked the site via Chrome to see if login info auto populated. No such luck. I checked my raw text note with a bunch of login users and passwords for not sensitive stuff to see if I put it in there. Nope. I checked to see if I could just check in for my haircut without logging in. I could have, but I’d have to give them my phone number and they’d text me spam, plus I’d have to tell them in person what I wanted instead of them telling me what I got last time and asking if that’s what I wanted again today. (Of course. I have gotten the same haircut for ten years.)

So I put in my Yahoo email and hit “forgot password” and reset it. I got logged in and it had my correct info, and I put my login info into that note I keep. I checked in online and sipped on some coffee and surfed Lemmy while waiting.

I went in, had a great haircut, and learned about some kind of membership card or something. Idk I wasn’t really listening because I’m moving to a new town tomorrow and idk if I’ll have a Great Clips near me there. I saw a Sport Clips near the new house, but my general impression is that it’s like the Hooters of haircuts and I don’t really want to pay more for a haircut just to have a little bit of flirting thrown my way. Am I way off or is that about right? Because even my basic no-frills haircut at Great Clips is $21 before tip these days, so maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to have to find a new place.

Haircut is 2 on the back and sides, medium cut on top. I use a kind of messy look paste to style minimally coming out of the shower. Dull, but tidy.

    I bought a Wahl clipper over ten years ago for about $20. My wife cuts my hair, so I get to flirt with the stylist for free.

      My wife offered to cut my hair. I told her no. She’s a very clumsy person lol. I also have a Wahl clipper, but it’s for trimming my beard.

    I use great clips, just login with the phone number though. They don’t really spam you. You might get one marketing text, but its something you can opt out of by replying STOP.
