Little Clippers appaling customer service

Just wanted to post my experience of little Clippers today as it was not a pleasant one. I took my 3 year old girl to have a haircut. We regularly go but have not been for a while and the lady that usually does it was not around so had someone else. It was obvious right from the word go that she didn't want to chat, which is fine, people have unsociable days and it is not a problem at all. However, she was very rude to me, and to my little girl who was behaving very well at the time with constant sighing and tuting if her instructions were not being followed immediately.

When you are in the business of cutting children's hair you have to expect certain things and be quie quick about it anyway. She was constantly scolding her and telling her she is bound to get a wonky haircut and when I said that she is lucky that she is sitting still at all, she told me that this is not good enough.

When I suggested to take a bit more off she got so annoyed and once finished (took an extra 3 minutes!!) and I told my daughter to say thank you she didn't merit us with a response, just walked to the till, said the price was ?15 (not bad for 10 minute service!) and didn't even said bye although we did.

As there are plenty of places for a children's haircuts in ED I would definitely not go there again. In fact my friend said GM do them for ?10 and they are very nice about it so will be going there instead.

Yes I would definitely recommend GM for kids. So sorry about your experience but we've found the same at LCs. I took my two to GMs yesterday and because it was their third time getting a cut they got a 'lucky dip' of a painting on canvas set for eldest (aged 6) and colouring in book and pencils for younger (aged 3). They have a loyalty card thing so every third time there they get a gift. That along with getting a proper hair wash in the 'zen' room (not in Saturdays sadly) and a lolly each time - and yesterday strawberries and cream also!


I reckon we'll keep going there :)

We are so sorry that your experience at The Little Clipper wasn't a great one. Please come and see me (Daren)so we can discuss the problem and hopefully we can rectify it for you. We aim to please everyone but sometimes it can be a very stressful environment when we are busy so please accept my apologies again.

We had a great experience at Little Clipper today, the lady was really lovely to our (toddler) daughter, we were all made to feel very welcome & she did a brilliant haircut! When we asked her to take a bit more hair off, she was most accommodating.


We came away with a keep sake of our daughters first haircut too, an envelope containing her locks, with her name, date & 'first haircut' written on the front!


Also, as the haircut didn't take that long, we were only charged 50% of the advertised price.


All in all a great experience and would definitely recommend to others....

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
