      Hairstylist Interview

      Jan 10, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Arlington, TX
      Accepted offer
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at Great Clips (Arlington, TX)

      Interview

      Once application is filled out either online or the paper version for some stores, you will generally meet with the franchise owner or owners, possibly the salon manager in the same interview first. (just see if you're what they're looking for) They will discuss it afterwards at some point, and either call you in for a technical or sometimes you can do the technical within that same day or visit. There are certain basic interview questions that are asked, i.e. what do you like about yourself, what could you improve on, and very likely what your "timing" is for various different services. Your timing for their services needs to be within their established guideline of 13-15 minutes for mens, women, and kids haircuts......

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Great Clips (Vancouver, BC)

      Interview

      It was super relaxed for the most part. They mostly asked questions about my background and previous customer experience jobs. How I handled certain situations, why or why not I'd be a good fit. Standard interview stuff,

      Application

      I interviewed at Great Clips (Arden-Arcade)

      Interview

      They did an in person interview and a technical interview, it wasn't too hard of an interview process. The technical is intimidating at first but its not too bad and the manager was friendly.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Great Clips (Saint Louis, MO)

      Interview

      I got an immediate call after applying online. A recruiter took me out for coffee and a quick chat. They offer a lot training so they focus more on advertising what your job could be like if you accept the job offer.
