Interview is easy even without experience these shops always hire but be prepared to get random schedules in my opinion depending on the owner of the shop, you may get paid very unfairly.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Great Clips in Aug 2022
Interview
The hiring manager said in the interview that “people just don’t want to work these days” referring to a struggle to keep staff on board. This was a red flag to me, so I asked questions and dug deeper only to find many internal operations issues that might cause people to just not want to work for them due to perpetuation of toxic work environments and exploitative practices. I did not accept the position offered.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was very impressed that you asked why we received so many negative reviews online. Do you have any concerns about that?
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Great Clips (Downers Grove, IL) in Jun 2019

The interview process included a hands-on short/fade haircut trial on a mannequin. Also included was asking about employment history and introduction to Great Clips as a company and to the individuals working at that location as well.
