I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Great Clips (Yucca Valley, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
I applied twice, the first time I was turned down due to cutting quality/time (I was fresh out of Cosmetology school), both times were great experiences.
I submitted an application & resume in person and was able to schedule an interview within 1-2 weeks. Once you complete the interview you are to perform 3 haircuts (usually popular cuts) in the preferred time 15 minutes. The quality of the cut is more important than the time but over 30 minutes is frowned upon.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Of all the skills you learned in the Cosmetology field, which is your favorite and why did you chose the field?
What do you do when there’s no customers? (She said “what do you do when there’s nothing to do” so I mistook it as her asking about my hobbies at first)
Our cutting system and advised haircut times are based of years of customer data we have collected showing the optimal time it takes to complete a quality haircut. Every customer deserves a personal experience and more time may be need with some to be sure that happens. Clearly other take less time. We appreciate your feedback.
Other Hair Stylist interview reviews for Great Clips
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,

We appreciate you sharing the interview process! Thank you for the feedback.
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.

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.
