Thank you to those who let me know, you may now leave comments and as always no names will be mentioned. And at the bottom there is additional note. Seems like Ms Clipped adjusted the name to her salon. Info below.
So here we hear of the one beauty salon in Meyersdale, after knowing of complaints for years now and then contacted by others who are still seeing and experiencing bad employee policies and not the best rating by customers. We decided to do this post after being asked. ALL of us feel our youth need to be given encouragement to and be uplifted to help them reach for their stars. And the girls that have been in this business and left…well they worked hard to get where they are in life. We don’t believe this was a roadblock they needed to experience, does anyone else? Yes it WILL make them stronger but it was so unnecessary in our opinion. We all agreed I would take this one and ALL names removed. I was personally told Ms. Clipped likes to bully and or harass and we tend to believe it just due to the overturn of employees. And what can someone believe when they hear the stories from those affected?
Years ago, I knew a young hairdresser who started working there and at first loved it. She does love doing hair and is very good at it. However at first with the salon, she was bringing in customers and the owner was happy. Soon though costs went up for the hair stylist, then complaining, and finally was let go, all by the owner. The girl went on and go another job in another borough and has been doing great ever since. Then in the years since I have heard of other young hairdressers having the same negative work conditions experiences and then fired, though some quit. The owner has a high rate of turnover…sadly. Then one hears of the negative gossip. Now yes, I know Beauty Salons is where some go to hear the news and gossip. I only knew 2 where it never happened, in the deep south, one was ran by a church and the other by an ex nun. But what astounds me is it seems to be all negative and a whole lot damaging lies. Now, if this is just some what we hear, how much do we not hear? Plus customers who are considered different are said to be are ridiculed and called names after they leave, which is just wrong does anyone else not agree? I was taught if you are going to take their money then you owe them respect and should keep one’s mouth shut. TO do any other kind of behavior is just low class and tacky!
Now, why I decided to post on this was 1) I was asked and 2) I have never liked the way she treats her employees. Some of the others who help on this page felt the same way. Esp the young girls and new hairdressers are just out of school/training. So when I got the following message from a post and then the others were sent, I knew it needed addressed and I guess I’ll do it. Maybe it will save some pain for future youth starting there. There is a need to treat people with respect. I always get reminded of the old slave owners in the deep south and how they treated their slaves with anger, name calling, and as if they were nothing. And Ms. Clipped needs to realize, just like so many other mistreated employers in ALL fields, that those folks you treat so miserable, is what is making your money. As does the customers even after they leave. In other words, the boss is collecting from the workers labor. They deserve respect, esp since they are her bread and butter as they say. And they, just like her are trying to support themselves and sometimes family. Just becuse a person is young doesn’t mean they don’t support or help support others. And they count too. I wonder if she realizes that when she runs out of people she will have to do her own work?
First post I received was this one:
A person’s outer beauty has never and will never cover a ugly, mean soul.
Now once in a while people do see their mistakes and try to change, but you will see the actual change. However, it very rarely is a genuinely committed change, just mouth candy as they call it to cover things over.
I have always told my kids not to work in jobs like that but always try to give a 2 week notice. However, some jobs are just worth walking off and quitting. To me this would be one.
I had to look it up and scrubs means:
What does scrubs mean in slang? “A mean insignificant fellow, a person of little account or poor appearance, or a disreputable woman; a prostitute, tart.” These definitions are slang uses of scrub and can be found in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). These definitions were widely used throughout the late 16th through the mid 19th century.” ” a person usually does nothing with their life, and gets by using other people.” “All of these word uses of scrub relay a negative image, feeling or emotion. As a result, I believe this is how the slang version of scrub came about. The slang meaning of scrub is a nasty dirty person.” And from what I see and hear, I think she uses it as she is better than others. And the customers ARE paying for their service and the workers ARE doing their jobs. So the question is “Who is using who?”(https://sites.pitt.edu/~emk4/comp1/scrub.html#:~:text=%E2%80%9CA%20mean%20insignificant%20fellow%2C%20a,through%20the%20mid%2019th%20century.)
And one has to say, it is true karma will come and should!
Amazing how she seems to blame everyone else. It’s never her fault or responsibility dose it not? Does she feel like she is beyond reproach?
Now I am just going to post in no real order. I will keep split conversations together though.
I have to say I love the part about don’t be sleeping with her man,
And her comment on having the last word is because SHE wants to have it.
On this one none of us are sure if there was any names. Can’t read it like it is or blown – up.
And on this next one, M did make a threat. why bring someone’s child or step child into a conversation they are not part taking into. It sounds like a athreat to fire the step daughter, does it not? So a threat and an episode of bullying in our opinion.
Now this one made me laugh! “Be rude?” She has been rude to employees, actual customers, and people she doesn’t know. If she thinks she is classy, she best think again.
This one is sad. But notice how it is all about defending her and nothing said about the girl who needed counseling? And I know some young women who worked there until they could take no more, who had kids too, what about them supporting their kids? Do not their children count too? Or is it just about you and yours?
Actually on this person, you may done her hair – the name is her first husband’s name. But none the less it is always about her, never about the people who work for her, providing for her table and kids. A boss should care about their employees.
Now the rest of these are from customers and parents of the workers.
And it is all about uplifting herself and no one else!
And for the record: Narcissism is extreme self-involvement to the degree that it makes a person ignore the needs of those around them. While everyone may show occasional narcissistic behavior, true narcissists frequently disregard others or their feelings. They also do not understand the effect that their behavior has on other people and do not care.
She also has a power trip thing going on.
So not only is she abusive to her young workers, talks about her customers negatively when they aren’t there, NOW she is taking advantage of the elderly?! And I guess needs to do it to feed and clothe her boys?
To be honest, I don’t think and never did before I knew what her character was like, she was beautiful. There is something hard about her and she dresses to accentuate her sexuality. I hae heard guys say if that was their old lady she wouldn’t be dressing like that. To me, it just shows she has no class..
And everyone who stands against people like Clipped’s owner should be proud of themselves. Your courage could save a youth wasting her time and energy on a job that will not benefit them. Thank you to all. And as always no names will be posted here. For those who stand behind her, SHAME ON YOU!! SHAME! She needs to change and soon.
Well I guess the owner decided to change the name of her salon after my post. None of the people telling me this can say when except common sense says it was after this post. My advice to her is own up to what you did and may still be doing, apologise to those you need to or should and CHANGE YOUR BEHAVIOR! It’s not hard and you should do it anyway. It is not all about you. The new name but same ole page and picture:
Berlin, Pa. Happenings TRUTHS!
