My son wants longer hair but right now his "style" it is a complete mess. We usually go to SuperCuts but they generally don't have any ideas, they just do what you tell them to do.
Does Sportclips offer suggestions?
Other than the fact that both businesses are likely to have ESPN on the TV, 'm not seeing the connection.My DS18 goes regularly to SportClips -- I think it's expensive ($17 minimum) for what you get (basically, it's Hooters meets SuperCuts).

Me either..The stylists at the ones we go to are generally dressed like referees..black pants and a "ref" style shirt (often a polo style shirt). I don't get the Hooters connection at all?
There are quite a few different official SportClips uniforms that can be ordered for stylists. It's up to what the individual stores/managers dictate they want the stylists to wear. Some want them to wear the same thing each day of the week. Some stores let the stylists choose and there are some pretty tight fitting blingy shirts and pants to choose from. I can see how if not monitored someone may have been to stores where these uniforms are worn. Combined with some of the stylists choices of style, I do get the Hooters connection comment, but probably not seen in the majority of the stores.
I am a stylist. When you go to those places it's hit or miss. You usually either get someone who's wet behind the ears who's working there to get "experience", or you get some older person who's basically given up on making their career anything more than a $10 an hour job. You should get referrals from friends, family, and co-workers as to where they go. A person that works at a decent place is usually more open to giving suggestions and making his hair work because they care if you come back. Avoid places that are open on Sundays. Those people hate their jobs and curse you as soon as you walk in the door. You can usually find well priced places that aren't "corporate machines" that will do an awesome job. You might just find a stylist for life!!

Supercuts is like the no frills of haircut places- I'm not even sure the people that work there actually have any training in hair cutting whatsoever!!!
Today I looked at their website when I saw this thread.
The application asks questions if you are licensed (but I guess if you want to be their receptionist you wouldn't need one), transportation, a resume (if you have one), a recent photo of yourself (if you'd like), and asks how many times a month you think it is OK to be late for work!
OK, that last one blows my mind but since I have been in the business for 29 years, I will say that I have worked with people who have no problem with being late or running late. Ugh.
I wonder if they really get people in and out in 20 mins? That's quick when you are shampooing ( you learn that a shampoo should last 5 mins but I guess 2 mins will do. The hot towel deal, the cut, clean up (neck, ears, brows), and then they give shoulder massages? I gotta say, I *ain't* massaging some stranger's shoulders.
Interesting concept...and I didn't see anything Hooter-like with the uniforms on-line.
Gotta say, I've worked with a few girls who dressed very Hooter-like. However, the more ****s, belly and leg she showed, the happier those guys were! Sadly, she couldn't cut worth a crap. Women rarely returned but the men did!
In regards to the bold..I have applied for jobs where they ask random pre screening questions..things like "Is it ever OK to steal from work" or "Is it OK to take small/inexpensive items from work" and things like that to weed people out up front. It could be they totally discount anyone who indicates that being late is OK even once.
SuperCuts and SportsClips generally offer things like washing hair and styling it as "extras" (same with the shoulder massage at Sports Clips) and with a higher level/cost hair cut so I am guessing it likely averages out in the long run..you get one or two that want the works but most just a basic cut with no wash.
