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.
