*Thanks to Great Clips for sponsoring today’s discussion
Back to school shopping can be so overwhelming! Especially when you have more than one child to shop for! Each child has their own classroom school supply list and that can be difficult, especially if you wait until the last-minute to buy those items!
I am a last-minute, school supply shopper and I get very overwhelmed! So this year, I will shop alone, (no kids!!) and just get it done. My kids head back to school on September 3rd, so I still have time, right? Ugh.
Then, after school supply shopping I still have to arrange hair cuts for both kids! So much to do, thank God the clothes shopping is DONE! To help me with those hair cuts, I will be downloading the online Check-In App! By downloading this free app, Great Clips will make a donation to AdoptAClassroom.org! I thought that was pretty neat.
Plus, the Check-In App Is super easy to use! Just open the app and the salons nearest your current location will appear. Touch the salon location that fits you best, tell them your name, number and how many are in your group. Then, head right over to your Great Clips salon to receive the quality haircut or service you want! Hair cuts just became EASY!! Yay!
Sure you may not use the Great Clips “Check-In App” all the time, but for back to school haircuts and the fact that downloading it will garner a donation to AdoptAClassroom.org, that is enough reason right there for me to go ahead and try it out, it is FREE!
Many Great Clips salons are offering back-to-school pricing for haircuts! Please visit your local salon for pricing details.
After you download the free Check-In App, you can then head on over to the Great Clips site and upload your school supply list! Daily winners will get their back to school supply list, shipped right to their front door for FREE (up to $100!)! It is so easy to do and if you can’t upload your school supply list, no problem, you can just select the option to type it in!
You must hurry though, this giveaway started on July 15 and is ending on September 5th!!! You have mere days to enter! So GO! ALL contest entrants receive a $2-off Great Clips coupon with their confirmation email the first time they submit a school supply list! Seriously, nothing to lose, so go enter! 🙂
I am encouraging you ALL to watch this video and see what Great Clips has done so far, for two teachers! Plus, learn more about what Great Clips is doing for teachers and students!!!
Are you all done shopping for back to school supplies?
Lily Kwan says
This app looks very useful. Thanks for sharing!
Lyndsey R. says
School shopping is very stressful and I only have one child. Ohhh my goodness am I also last minute LOL.
Annette says
Wow how nice that your kids didn’t start school until September. Where I live the kids go to school a week or so before Labor Day. I always thought it was silly to have a week of school then a holiday the next week – plus it’s so incredibly hot here. My kids are all grown, so I no longer have to do back to school shopping.
Leela says
It looks like a good improvement.
Lorena Keech says
Using the app for the school purpose is fine, otherwise I think it is annoying… I just see no purpose in being tied to my phone for even the most basic things.
Maryann D. says
The Check-In App sounds great and convenient. We need all the help we can get with back to school! I do like that donations will be made also.
gwendolyn blunt says
This is a great app! I have a senior and preschooler this year! 🙂 good help for busy moms.

I love this idea! And even better, I love how you can donate to a great cause.

Seems like a great app. Back to school time is always hectic for us.

Nice app! I still have a couple of things to buy.

Jake’s a senior this year and honestly we didn’t have to get a whole lot.
Michelle says
I love the online check in!
Nicole Brady says
I participated in sharing this as well and love that they are helping improve classrooms. The staff at our local Great Clips was fabulous!
Marina says
I’m happy to say YES!!! I’m done! (Happy dance!)
Penelope Guzman says
I think we got most of ours, but I’m not ready anyway (mentally)
Stephanie says
Is it bad I didn’t take my kids with me? They are sooo super annoying to shop with, so I bought all the stuff, laid it out on the dinning room table and told them to stuff their bags with their supplies. It was really low key and they were super excited. 🙂
valmg @ Mom Knows It All says
My son just registered for his college classes yesterday. I have to pick up his supplies, other then that I’ve been done for a couple of weeks.
Crystal says
We are all done shopping…finally! But I do need to get the kids haircuts again before school pictures happen. I love being able to cut out some of the wait using the app.
Sara P. (@SensiblySara) says
I thought I was done – but my oldest told me he needs a new pencil box (I asked him 4 weeks ago if he needed one!).
Great Clips is our go-to for hair cuts!
Nina Say says
Great clips sounds, well…great! I love helping teachers, definitely going to be checking it out.
Karen says
All my kids are adults now, so I don’t have to worry about back to school.
Kecia says
I don’t have kids in school just yet, but I like going to Great Clips for my own cuts. I will download this app before I go just to help!
Lisa @ Crazy Adventures in Parenting says
Y’know, since we’ve moved, I haven’t checked to see if we have a Great Clips here! We had a few in San Antonio, but I haven’t even noticed and we need to get the kids’ hair done before school starts.
Robin Gagnon says
My daughter is young and in special ed, so we don’t actually have a lot to buy… just clothes and such.
Jamie H says
I love Great Clips. That’s where we get our hair cut. Love that they support schools and also support the hospital that I work at.
Ronda Ogilvie says
I have three children and back to school shopping can be a nightmare and so stinkin’ expensive!! I will have to check out this app.
Teresa Foskey says
What a great app. I also love helping out teachers because they give so much. As for back to school shopping, I still have stuff to buy and they started school this week. LOL
Ashley Bree Perez says

School shopping for three was stressful this year. I had to go to several different stores!
